Pauli v. Safeco Ins. Co. of Am. – The Statute of Repose

October 14, 2015 by Matthew Bass

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Plaintiff Pauli fell when she stepped out of her friend’s residence resulting in a compound fracture to her ankle. Defendant homeowners had an unusual height for their first step, which was protected by the statute of repose but they also failed to maintain proper lighting at the exit. The Statute of Repose, Wis. Stat. § 893.89, does not protect Defendants from liability if Plaintiff’s damages resulted from negligent maintenance of the home, which in this case relates to the alleged failure to maintain proper lighting at an exit. Pauli v. Safeco Ins. Co. of Am., —Wis.2d.—, 2015 WL 4924176 (Wis. Ct. App. Aug. 19, 2015).
