With 41 chapters refined over 20 years by 75 of Wisconsin’s most respected and experienced litigators, The Law of Damages in Wisconsin offers a comprehensive and trustworthy treatment of damages eligibility, computation, and procedures. In testament to the respect accorded to this three-volume set, a Westlaw search of July 31, 2009 shows the Wisconsin Supreme Court has cited to The Law of Damages in Wisconsin at least 14 times, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals 21 times, and the Seventh Circuit twice.

Highlights of the 2009 Supplement include discussions of Wisconsin Supreme Court decisions that affect the made whole doctrine limiting subrogation rights; the economic loss doctrine; whether a defendant’s right to participate in a hearing on damages arising from a default judgment requires that the issue of damages be tried to a jury; and whether standard CGL insurance policies may generally exclude coverage for intentional conduct or for damages not caused by an accident. The supplement also incorporates federal district court decisions, including whether certain procedural provisions of Wis. Stat. chapter 32, such as the option of a jury trial to determine the condemnation award, are fundamental rights. Administrative developments, including the Department of Workforce Development decision to publish detailed treatment guidelines to diminish disputes over reasonableness of medical treatment, are likewise included.
