Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Am I still eligible if I’m past the statute of limitations?

A:

In Wisconsin, most personal injury cases, including abortion-related injuries, must generally be filed within 3 years from the date of the injury. In medical-related cases, the law also allows filing within one year from the date the injury was discovered (or should have been discovered), but no more than 5 years from when the procedure or harm occurred.

Importantly, exceptions may apply if coercion, assault, or fraud was involved, or if you only recently discovered the harm. These rules can be complicated, so the best way to know if your case can still move forward is to speak directly with an attorney. Even if you believe too much time has passed, don’t rule yourself out; many women are still eligible to file.

Q: Can I sue if I was coerced into an abortion?

A:

Yes. Coercion is a violation of your rights. Whether you were pressured by a partner, parent, or anyone else, or if someone secretly gave you abortion pills without your consent, you may be able to bring legal action. These are serious crimes, and the law can work to hold abusers accountable.

Q: What if I don’t have access to my medical records?

A:

Don’t worry. Our legal team can help you obtain your records as part of your case. Even without records in hand, your testimony, witness statements, and other evidence can build a strong foundation for a claim.

Q: Are abortion pills really that dangerous?

A:

Yes, while marketed as “safe,” abortion pills can cause severe complications such as hemorrhaging, sepsis, and incomplete abortion requiring surgery. The FDA has issued black box warnings for these drugs. Women deserve the full truth about these risks before making any decision.

Q: Will my case be kept confidential?

A:

Absolutely. Your privacy matters. All consultations and communications with our legal team are confidential, and no information is shared without your permission.
