How a Recent Interpretation of the Wisconsin "Borrowing Statute" Will Affect Multi-State Healthcare Practices in Wisconsin
Wisconsin businesses, including physician groups, clinics, and hospitals, operating across state lines facing personal injury exposure should be aware of a recent Wisconsin Court of Appeals opinion defining a clear test to evaluate whether a claim is untimely: Paynter v. ProAssurance Ins. Co., No. 2017AP739 (Mar. 27, 2018). The newly defined test specifically affects medical malpractice claims alleging a misdiagnosis and others where the claimed injury becomes apparent only after the alleged negligent conduct. Even if the subject conduct occurred in Wisconsin, a Wisconsin court can "borrow" the statute of limitations from another state if such an injury occurs outside the State in certain instances. In this case, the court declared Wisconsin "borrows" another State's statute of limitations when the first instance of "greater harm," greater than that which existed at the time of the subject conduct, occurs outside of Wisconsin.
