Re: civil, statute of limitations, Wisconsin
If you are talking about your being sued by someone who was injured, due to a vehicle accident occurring in Wisconsin, an adult would have three years from the date of the accident to either settle or start a lawsuit against you to recover damages for the injuries. If the injured party was a minor at the time of the injury, they would have until their 20th birthday to either settle or start a lawsuit. If you were to be sued for damage to property, there is normally a six year statute of limitations to either settle or start suit against you.
