Why Do You Need a Defective Product Attorney in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin codified products liability at Wis. Stat. § 895.047 in 2011 (Act 2), adopting Restatement (Third) of Torts: Products Liability — requiring proof of a reasonable alternative design for design-defect claims. Wisconsin is a modified comparative fault state with a 51% bar under Wis. Stat. § 895.045. The 3-year statute of limitations runs under Wis. Stat. § 893.54. Wisconsin has no general products statute of repose, but Wis. Stat. § 895.047(2) creates a 15-year rebuttable presumption against design defects for products older than 15 years. Wisconsin’s dairy, brewing, and equipment manufacturing sectors generate frequent product cases.
