In April of 2013, a Milwaukee daycare center (Multicultural Community Services) lost its license after accumulating 116 rule violations over the previous two years. Inspectors witnessed teachers slapping children in the face, jabbing them with pencils, and telling them “shut the hell up.” It gets worse. On various occasions, the daycare center was cited for not reporting suspected child abuse. In one instance, the center failed to report to the state a child had suffered bad burns all over his body. One teacher even admitted to sexual abuse of a child. The worker was fired, but the daycare center wasn’t shut down for six months, even though the abuse had been reported to the state. What got the state to finally revoke the daycare center’s license? The licensee was charged with child abuse after hitting his daughter hard enough to give her a concussion! Yet, an investigation by Fox 6 News a week after the daycare center had their license revoked found the daycare center was still open. Why? Because under state law they are able to stay open while an appeal is pending (as long as the health and safety of children are not at risk) and have no obligation to inform parents of what is going on.
Drunk driving crashes are only a small fraction of all accidents in Wisconsin, but they tend to be some of the worst. Relatively speaking, when people drive drunk they have an incredibly high chance to kill someone.
Wrongful Death
Those who can file a wrongful death claim include a representative of the deceased person's estate, a spouse, a domestic partner, a child of the deceased, a parent of the deceased, and a legal guardian of the deceased.
Traffic Violations
These were the top contributing factors to car accident fatalities in Wisconsin. In some cases, these categories had overlap (for example, one or all of the vehicles in the accident could have had a drunk driver who was speeding).
Sex Crimes
Wisconsin has a very lenient statute of limitations on civil claims pertaining to child abuse. Any legal action must be brought to the court before the victim reaches the age of 35. The statute of limitations for criminal cases is even more lenient: no limitation for first-degree sexual assault and for second-degree sexual assault the action must be brought to the court before the victim reaches the age of 45.
Fraud
Misdemeanors
There are four tiers of penalties depending on the victim’s physical condition after the collision: 1. No physical injuries to the victim: the perpetrator is usually charged with a misdemeanor resulting in a fine of $300 - $1000 and/or up-to 6 months in jail. 2. Injuries but no great bodily harm: the perpetrator will likely face a Class A misdemeanor with fines up to $10,000 and 9 months in jail. 3. Great bodily harm: the perpetrator will likely face a Class E felony resulting in 15 years in prison and fines up to $50,000. 4. Death: If your loved one died from a hit-and-run incident, the perpetrator will likely face a Class D felony and receive 25 years in prison for manslaughter and a fine of up to $100,000. If you’ve been the victim of a hit-and-run it’s important to contact an experienced Milwaukee hit and run accident law firm to make sure you receive maximum compensation for your physical and mental wellbeing.

Property Damage
In 2022, if you were in a reported car accident, there was less than a 1% chance that the accident involved at least 1 fatality. In Wisconsin, all accidents involving $1,000 in property damage or resulting in need-of-medical-care are legally required to be reported. Though some accidents beneath this threshold go unreported, many of them above it go unreported. In the decade before 2020, car accidents were one of the leading causes of death in Wisconsinites between 1 and 45 years old.
