Disclaimer

This site quotes sections of the Wisconsin Statutes because they are public and because they answer the question most people actually have in the first two days after a collision. Quoting a statute is not advising you about your claim.

Your situation may have facts that change the answer. If something turns on it, read the section yourself or ask a lawyer. We are a body shop.

Passages shown in the serif typeface are quoted verbatim and carry their section number and a History line. They were checked in October 2026.

Sections that appear only as a citation, with a description of what they are about and no quotation, are ones whose current operative wording we have not verified. That distinction is deliberate and it is enforced in the site’s code: the function that renders a quotation will not render one without a citation.

Statutes are amended. Check the date above against today.

The “No.” numbers used to organise pages on this site — No. 101, No. 102 and so on — are this document’s own numbering. They are not statute numbers, not CSI numbers, and not a reference to any external scheme. Statute references on this site always appear with a section symbol and the words “Wis. Stat.”

None of the following was supplied, so none of it appears anywhere on this site, and the structured data omits each one rather than carrying a placeholder:

Each of these is available on request from a business that has them, in a form you can actually check — a certificate, a warranty document, an equipment list. A claim on a website is not one of those forms.

Any durations or sequences described on this site are general to collision repair as a trade, not promises about your vehicle. A real date comes from a real estimate after a real teardown.
