Wisconsin is a fault state for car accidents, meaning that the at-fault driver can be held liable for the injured party's medical expenses, lost earnings, property damages, and pain and suffering. This differs from no-fault states, where your auto insurance covers your injuries regardless of fault for the accident.

Wisconsin law mandates insurance with injury liability coverage of at least $25,000 per person. After an accident, exchange information. Report the crash if either party has bodily harm or $1000+ of property damage (for government vehicles, $200+ of damage).

Requests for copies of police reports, accident reports, or other police records are made directly to the Police Department by filling out a Public Open Records Request form and submitting it to the Police Department. The form is available online or can be completed in-person at the Police Department.

If you did not have liability insurance when the accident occurred and you are not able to pay for damages caused by the crash, your driving privileges will be suspended. Similarly, if you don't report an accident to the Wisconsin DOT, you may have your license suspended.
