How long do I have under the statute of limitations (in WI) do I have to file a claim against the government?

Question

Also, where can I find this info?

FYI... I'm in a law course, I'm not actually taking action...

Answer 1

It depends, in part, on the type of action you are pursuing. The short answer appears to be 1 year for filing tort actions but you have to give notice within 120 days.:

893.80(1)
(1) Except as provided in subs. (1g), (1m), (1p) and (8), no action may be brought or maintained against any volunteer fire company organized under ch. 213, political corporation, governmental subdivision or agency thereof nor against any officer, official, agent or employee of the corporation, subdivision or agency for acts done in their official capacity or in the course of their agency or employment upon a claim or cause of action unless:


893.80(1)(a)
(a) Within 120 days after the happening of the event giving rise to the claim, written notice of the circumstances of the claim signed by the party, agent or attorney is served on the volunteer fire company, political corporation, governmental subdivision or agency and on the officer, official, agent or employee under s. 801.11. Failure to give the requisite notice shall not bar action on the claim if the fire company, corporation, subdivision or agency had actual notice of the claim and the claimant shows to the satisfaction of the court that the delay or failure to give the requisite notice has not been prejudicial to the defendant fire company, corporation, subdivision or agency or to the defendant officer, official, agent or employee; and
893.80(1p)
(1p) No action may be brought or maintained with regard to a claim to recover damages against any political corporation, governmental subdivision or agency thereof for the negligent inspection of any property, premises, place of employment or construction site for the violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or health and safety code unless the alleged negligent act or omission occurred after November 30, 1976. In any such action, the time period under sub. (1) (a) shall be one year after discovery of the negligent act or omission or the date on which, in the exercise of reasonable diligence the negligent act or omission should have been discovered.


893.73
893.73Actions contesting governmental decisions.

893.73(1)
(1) The following actions are barred unless brought within 180 days after the adoption of the order, resolution, ordinance or ordinance amendment contested:

893.73(1)(a)
(a) An action to contest the validity of a county zoning ordinance or amendment, if s. 59.69 (14) applies to the action.

893.73(1)(b)
(b) An action to review the validity of proceedings for division or dissolution of a town under s. 60.03.

893.73(2)
(2) The following actions are barred unless brought within 90 days after the adoption of the order, annexation ordinance or final determination of the action contested:

893.73(2)(a)
(a) An action under s. 60.73 contesting an act of a town board or the department of natural resources in the establishment of a town sanitary district.

893.73(2)(b)
(b) An action to contest the validity of an annexation, if s. 66.0217 (11) applies to the action.

24.355Limitation of actions. All claims under s. 24.34 or 24.35 (claims regarding land) shall be barred, unless application for a payment refund is made within 5 years from the time of the payment, or, in cases in which the state never had title, from the time when the invalidity of the title of the state was established.

Answer 2

You need to determine what kind of claim you have (personal injury, breach of contract, taking). The s.o.l. depends on the type of claim.

Also, many state governments regulate the time and manner in which it may be sued by private citizens. Statutes of limitation may be (and often are) different when the state is the defendant.

As far as location of the information, it's all in the statutes.

Answer 3

ok so first of all it is not the semen that travels to the egg it is the sperm. Semen is what the sperm are in while they arrive out. The sperm leaves the semen interior of a couple of minutes and travels into the womb. Then it travels via the tubes to the place it expects the egg to be. which could take hours or longer based upon how properly the sperm swim and how promptly they bypass. maximum sperm are no longer shaped top and that they wander off or swim around in circles or merely undeniable die earlier they get there. yet because of the fact that there are hundreds of them it isn't any longer frequently a undertaking. Sperm can stay as much as 5 days, yet 2-3 days is extra uncomplicated.

Answer 4

Generally tort claims must be filed within one year (you see the fire dept exception though) Usually you file a motion of intent to sue, that locks you in and suspends the limitation of actions statutes.

Answer 5

Congress disallowed lawsuits from US citizens against the federal government. City Governments can be sued in some states but usually they make the restrictions very tight like 14 days to file etc etc.

Answer 6

That depends upon the jurisdiction. At the Fed level, look up the Federal Tort Claims Act.

Answer 7

My first question back to you is what crime (you think) was committed against you?

....Different crimes have different statutes of limitations. Not your situation, I know, but for example, if you sue someone for a car accident, you've got like 4 years, and rape is something like 20 years.

Answer 8

GAWD People learn to read...she said it is for a law course, not for real! But in all honesty I have no clue, you could call legal aide and see if anyone will answer your question.

Answer 9

the answer is always and never.

i'm assuming that by either suing or charging the govt with a crime against you, you are trying to draw attention to your situation or the plight of someone else.

Answer 10

Probably like the rest of the B.S. judicial system.Judicial Immunity except for all us peons that is.
