It is likely that all rights of remedy under the law have been extinguished, as the time in which to bring a claim for tort injuries or medical malpractice have passed under Wisconsin law.
The statutes of limitations for tort claims in Wisconsin can be found in Wis. Stats. Chapter 893, speicifcally 893.54 and 893.55 address injury and malpractice claims.
Chapter 893 of the Wisconsin Statutes can be viewed here: http://www.legis.state.wi.us/statutes/Stat0893.pdf
