Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Wisconsin?
In Wisconsin, you generally have three years from the date of the injury or one year from the date you discovered the injury, whichever is earlier, to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. There is also a five-year statute of repose from the date of the negligent act, with limited exceptions for minors or foreign objects left in the body.
Do I need an expert witness for a medical malpractice case in Wisconsin?
Yes, Wisconsin law requires that you submit an affidavit from a qualified medical expert stating that there is a reasonable basis for the claim. This expert must be in the same or similar specialty as the defendant and must attest that the care provided fell below the accepted standard of practice.
What damages can I recover in a Wisconsin medical malpractice case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as noneconomic damages for pain and suffering.
