Milwaukee, WI civil litigation attorneyIf you are reading this blog, you probably have already suffered significant harm.

These statutory damage caps may seem to prevent you from recovering fair compensation, and sometimes they do; but often, the reality is more complex. A good, thoughtful attorney may be able to structure your case to avoid or minimize damage caps through creative legal strategies.

The difference between recovering what the law says you can get versus what you really need often comes down to which legal theory your lawyer chooses. Our Milwaukee civil litigation and trial attorneys can review your case with you and help you explore your options.
