Slip and fall cases are a type of premises liability. Wisconsin’s premises liability law requires property owners to keep their property safe and warn visitors of dangerous conditions.
Premises liability claims are brought under a legal theory of negligence. To successfully bring a premises liability claim, injured parties must prove:
In a slip and fall case, the duty of care varies based on the type of property and the reason the injured party was on the property. Our lawyers have experience with premises liability claims and can help determine the relevant standard for your case.

If you successfully bring a premises liability claim, you’re entitled to recover compensatory damages from the property owner. The goal of compensatory damages is to put victims in the same position they were in before an accident.

Property owners or their insurance companies frequently blame victims after a fall. This is stressful for victims, but it’s a pretty standard practice for insurance companies. Blaming victims is a strategy used to reduce the value of claims or avoid liability.
Under Wisconsin’s comparative negligence law, victims can still recover damages as long as they’re not more than 50% at fault for their fall. If a victim is more than 50% at fault, the victim is barred from recovering any damages.
If the victim is 50% or less responsible, damages are reduced by the proportion of the victim’s fault. For example, if you’re found to be 15% at fault for an accident, you can recover 85% of your damages.
If you’re being blamed for a fall, contact a Jefferson County injury attorney as soon as possible.

If you get paid through a settlement or verdict, a portion of that award will go to our team to cover attorney’s fees.

In Wisconsin, victims have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. In most slip and fall cases, the statute of limitations expires three years from the date of the fall.
After the limitations period has expired, victims have no right to recover from the property owner. Any lawsuit filed after the limitations period will be dismissed, and victims will have no leverage to demand a fair settlement.
There are exceptions to this deadline, but only in rare cases. It also takes time to investigate and file a personal injury claim. Contact an injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you have adequate time to get the compensation you need.
