Wisconsin Personal Injury Tort Reform

Wisconsin personal injury verdicts are lower than most states. Wisconsin juries are made up of conservative individuals who find for doctors and corporations more often than other juries. Thus, when I heard WTMJ's Jeff Wagner refer to a "litigation explosion" in Wisconsin today, I nearly choked on my Subway. It's rubbish.

Whether it's Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, American Family Insurance, or similar groups, these people cry "wolf" too often. Unfortunately, talk radio hosts and politicians like Mark Green and Scott Walker, though they may have the right idea on many issues, only propagate the myth perpetuated for decades. It's more of this how to demonize personal injury lawyers garbage.

Wisconsin is not litigious. Wisconsin jury verdicts are low. And, most Wisconsinites I help with a Wisconsin car accident or other personal injury first tell me, what I think I also heard from WISN's Bob Dolan, "I'm not the kind of person that files a lawsuit, but...."

And from there you can fill in the blank with, for example:
- the insurance adjuster claims I'm at fault,
- they're not being fair,
- I'm missing work,
- I'm permanently disabled, or whatever else.

Bottom line, Wisconsin's personal injury tort system works and doesn't produce outrageous results and this is true because all most people in Wisconsin want is what's fair, no more and no less.

Corporations in Wisconsin, LLCs and other business records are often able to be found at the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institution's Wisconsin Corporation Records.

I've been interviewed on this Asbestos story by NBC News as a Wisconsin asbestos attorney and mesothelioma lawyer in Wisconsin handling mesothelioma cases. Though W.R.

Wisconsin law shames delinquent taxpayers on web

Wisconsin law requires shaming delinquent taxpayers on the web, which is done through the Wisconsin Delinquent Taxpayers list. Per state law, delinquent taxpayers are put there if they owe more than $25,000 and the amount is unpaid more than 90 days after all appeal rights have expired. In fact, the Department of Revenue warned these folks with letters about two months ago so peruse it and then tell your friends they can be removed from the list if they enter into a repayment agreement, file a petition to compromise or file for bankruptcy.
