Gerald Haugen appeals from a summary judgment dismissing his action against Northern State Bank and its insurer, Owners Insurance Company (collectively, “the Bank”), for injuries allegedly caused by a defective floor in the Bank’s hallway. The circuit court concluded that the statute of repose in WIS. STAT. § 893.89 (2017-18) barred Haugen’s claims. We affirm.
