Answer 1

Wisconsin requires that all medical malpractice actions for personal injury or death be filed within three years from the date of injury. Wis. Stat. Ann. § 893.55(1) (West 1997). The statute also provides that a claimant may bring an action for medical malpractice within one year from the date of discovery, subject to a maximum limit of five years from the date of the negligent act. Id. However, the five-year limit was recently held to be unconstitutional insofar as it applied to a claimant who could not reasonably have known of her injury, which was caused by a failure to diagnose cancer, until after five years had passed. Estate of Makos v. Wisconsin Masons Health Care Fund, 211 Wis. 2d 41, 564 N.W.2d 662 (1997). Foreign object cases must be brought within one year from the date of discovery or three years from the date of the incident. Wis. Stat. Ann. § 893.55(3) (West 1997).

Actions brought by or on behalf of a minor are subject to the above-noted limitation, or such actions must be brought by the time the minor reaches ten years of age, whichever is later. Wis. Stat. Ann. § 893.56 (West 1997). For claimants who are disabled by reason of insanity, an action may be commenced two years from the date the disability has been lifted, with a maximum of five years from the date of the negligent act. Wis. Stat. Ann. § 893.16 (West 1997).

MANY lawyers will give you a free consultation for a good 30 minutes. I would immediately go contact an attorney that is willing to look into personal injury or even medical malpractice.

You must be careful, though. Include all information that is relevant, and don't skimp on details. Record (whether by notes or recording) all phone calls and conversations, repeat names often, and make sure you keep a detailed record of EVERYTHING.

There are a lot of lawyers in Wisconsin who would be willing to take your case, and I recommend that you talk to one immediately.

Contact Studinski, for starters. He is a smaller law firm that will be willing to listen.
