My insurance company and I are being sued for an alleged slip and fall accident that plaintiff says occured on 01/01/05 injuring his back and claiming permanent damage to the tune of $330,000. The suit was filed on 12/28/07 so as to get under the 3 year statute of limitations in wisconsin. The plaintiff is an ex-brother in law who with his wife (my wifes sister) has visited many times. I live in the country on 30 acres and have no sidewalks just paths, His alleged injury came when he says he was moving firewood at my request (false) from a woodshed to the house and he fell on my back steps, His lawyers claim I was negligent in not clearing snow from my back steps and not providing a safe environment for him. I can prove that they were not here on the date they claim and it also did not snow on that date or the day before. The lawsuit includes my wife who passed away in 10/2005 and I had open heart surgery in february of 2005 so I don't think I would have been up to shoveling snow at the time. If there was some way I could sue these bottom feeders back I would sure like to hear it. Why is there no tort reform law in place to prevent crap like this from happening?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
