Wisconsin is a comparative liability state. The liability of all people involved in an accident can be compared to each other. However, there are frequently situations where one person has no fault whatsoever in an accident, and the other person carries 100 percent of the blame. Interestingly, if in a lawsuit, the jury or judge finds that the plaintiff (the person bringing the lawsuit) is more than 50% at fault, that plaintiff may not recover any money from the defendant.
