Johnson v. County of Crawford
Court of Appeals of Wisconsin
Decided June 15, 1995No. 95-0144-FTPublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtVergeront, J.
Ruth Johnson appeals from a judgment dismissing her personal injury action against Crawford County and its insurer, Continental Casualty Company.1 The trial court dismissed the action on the ground that it was not filed within three years of the accrual of the cause of action as required by § 893.54, STATS. The trial court concluded that the filing of a prior action that was voluntarily dismissed did not toll the statute of limitations under § 893.13(2), STATS. We conclude that § 893.13(2) tolled the statute of limitations upon commencement of the prior action, and therefore we reverse.
