[WI] [WI] I was in a car accident two years ago. Am I still able to sue the other driver?
I had a driving incident happen in October of 2023 where a semi-truck intentionally ran me off the road. Another driver witnessed the incident and actually took photos as the incident was happening. Am I still able to press charges against or sue the other driver?

Yes — you are still within the time limit to take legal action (either pressing charges or filing a civil lawsuit) since the accident occurred in October 2023.
In Wisconsin, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit after a car accident is three years from the date of the accident. (§ Wisconsin Stat. 893.54(1m)(a))

I’m sorry to hear about the incident you experienced with the semi-truck. Were there any injuries or damages resulting from the incident?
Just scratches on the truck and I had to get towed out of the freeway median, but I lost a day of work and it could have been much worse.
Have you reported the incident to the police or any relevant authorities?
I reported it but didn’t receive all the evidence of who the person was, photos, etc., until a few months later.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your incident involving the semi-truck.
No.
