Exceptions and details
The limit is $10,000 for most money claims ("other civil actions"). 2025 Wis. Act 105 raises it to $15,000 effective Jan 1, 2027, and raises the replevin limit from $10,000 to $15,000. Personal-injury claims, tort actions and third-party complaints are capped at $5,000 (§ 799.01(1)(cr)). Evictions are heard regardless of the rent amount. The courts' small claims page (wicourts.gov/services/public/selfhelp/smallclaims.htm) states $10,000 and $5,000 and does not yet mention the 2027 increase.
The 3-year period expressly includes injuries from motor-vehicle accidents. Wrongful death is generally 3 years, but 2 years for a death arising from a motor-vehicle accident (§ 893.54(2m)).
Online referrals cost a non-refundable $30. Referred lawyers charge no more than $20 for the first 30-minute consultation.
