Medical malpractice cases in Wisconsin are basically non-existnet due to the difficulty in suing doctors and cap limits that exist on damages. I wrote a blog at our firm's web site last year on this very subject and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel did an excellent article on it as well last year. If you feel strongly that your husband was harmed, gather up all of his medical and hospital records and have them reviewed by a malpractice lawyer. If they feel there is some substance there, they will hire an expert in the specific field of medicine involved to determine if your husband has a viable case. The statute of limiations in Wisconsin for medical malpractice is three years. Failure to file a lawsuit within 3 years from the date of the occurrence, would forever bar the claim.
