WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: Rachael Warrington, et al. v. City of Prairie Du Chien, et al.

Case No.: 2019AP95

Officials: Fitzpatrick, P.J., Blanchard and Graham, JJ

Focus: Court Error – Recreational Immunity

Rachel and Kurt Warrington, individually and as the personal representatives of their son K.W.’s estate, appeal the circuit court order that dismissed their negligence claims against the City of Prairie du Chien and the Prairie du Chien Area School District. The Warringtons contend that the circuit court erred by applying the recreational immunity statute to conclude that the Warringtons failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. We agree with the circuit court that the statute applies and, therefore, we affirm the circuit court’s dismissal order.
