Wisconsin Sex Abuse Lawsuit News and Updates

July 2024: A plaintiff has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Milwaukee against a teacher at St. Peter-Immanuel Lutheran School, alleging that the teacher, who also served as the athletic director, engaged in repeated acts of sexual misconduct with him when he was a minor. The lawsuit claims that the teacher abused her position of authority and that the school failed to take appropriate action despite being notified of the misconduct.

If you have a personal injury case in Wisconsin, it is natural to speculate on how much money you might get out of it. However, looking at average settlement and verdict data can be very misleading because each individual case is unique. The best way to get an idea of what type of payout you can possibly expect in your case is to look at compensation awarded in prior cases with similar facts.

Does that give you the exact answer? Of course not. You can have what appears to be two identical cases and get very different outcomes. But there is no question that seeing settlement amounts and jury payouts in other cases informs your thinking on the range of values your case might bring.

Below are summaries of verdicts and reported settlements in recent personal injury cases in Wisconsin. While there is no guarantee that you will get a comparable payout from your case, these verdicts and settlements will give you a better idea, within a range, of what is likely and possible.
