Wisconsin Supreme Court narrows contributory negligence in auto case
The Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed a lower ruling in the Dorr v. Chicago Milwaukee St Paul collision, holding that driving without a current license plate is not automatically negligence. The decision upholds damages despite the men lacking plate registration if their act was not a proximate cause.
