WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: Estate of Daniel F. Derousseau v. Dunn County, et al.

Case No.: 2017AP892

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Jury Instructions

Estate of Daniel Derousseau appeals from a judgment dismissing all claims against Dunn County, Greg Lambert, and Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Company (collectively “the County”), following a jury trial. Derousseau argues the circuit court erred by failing to change the jury’s answer on the special verdict regarding negligence, and by improperly instructing the jury in several respects. We reject Derousseau’s arguments and affirm.
