What are the statue of limitations of a civil case in Wisconsin?

My husband worked as a tow truck operator for a LLC company. The tow truck needed some work so he took it to the macanic. When the truck was fixed my husband noticed that there was paper work missing, so he called the police. My husband has since moved to another company. I was cleaning out a closet and found some things that belonged to this company so I called the owner to return them to him. He told me over the phone that he is going to sue my husband for loosing valueable paper work. We do not have enough money to hire a lawyer (I know of laywers who help low income, but you are never garentteed that you will get one.) It has already been 3 months since this guy told me my husband will be sued. Is there a limitation on a case like this? Please help. Thank you for taking the time to read this.What are the statue of limitations of a civil case in Wisconsin?
Unless he can show that your husband should have known the person would steal the paperwork(that'd be tough to prove), took the paperwork or misplaced the paperwork there's nothing that can be done. Since he contacted the police there's a report to back him up. Also in order to sue he'd have to show how he lost money because of the missing paperwork. If all that happened was he got a slap on the hand from someone there's nothing for him to collect on.





Now my question is what were the ';items'; you found in the closet? Was this the paperwork? Was it items of value?What are the statue of limitations of a civil case in Wisconsin?
In Wisconsin, an action for a violation of a ';contract, obligation or liability, express or implied'; is limited to 6 years after the date of the offense.
Return the paperwork by certified mail' or just be able to prove you guys made some attempts at returning the item's. I think it's 3yrs.
Hi- there are some attorneys who offer pro bono work, and they might be able to help you. You can use the telephone, and look up attorneys in the yellow pages. Try calling a few attorneys, and see if they may be able to help you. You can find out the statute of limitations by looking at the Wisconsin code. You can probably find the website by typing in ';Wisconsin statutes'; in the Yahoo! search engine. If not, the attorney can probably help you obtain that information. If it has been three months, I think that the former employer can still take it to court- but I'm not sure. Save all the paperwork you have, and keep it safe. You have the papers now, so if you present those in court, that proves that your husband did not lose the papers (he did misplace them, but at least you still have them). That is good news that you found those papers! How did the former employer suffer a loss as a result of the lost papers? He has to prove in a court of law that he suffered a loss as a result of the temporarily lost papers. Good luck with this matter. Most attorneys will speak to you for free, so no worries there. If you make a few phone calls to different law offices, I am sure that someone can help you.

I want to say 6 years... But I couldn't find a source to verify that.
