Medical malpractice cases are exceedingly difficult to pursue and win in Wisconsin. 9/10 of jury verdicts are in favor of physicians. If you feel strongly that you were harmed, you will need to obtain all your medical and hospital records relating to the specific treatment, and have them reviewed by a malpractice attorney. If they feel you have something there, they will hire an outside medical consultant to review your records to determine if you have a viable claim. The SOL in Wisconsin for suing for medical malpractice is 3 years from the date of the occurrence. Failure to file the lawsuit within 3 years, would forever bar your claim.
