Hannemann v. Boyson

1 The plaintiff, Gary Hannemann (Hannemann), seeks review of a published court of appeals decision, Hannemann v. Boyson, 2004 WI App 96, 1, 273 Wis. 2d 457, 681 N.W.2d 561, affirming in part, reversing in part, and remanding with directions a judgment of the Outagamie County Circuit Court, Harold v. Froehlich, Judge. The circuit court entered judgment on the jury verdict in favor of Hannemann in his chiropractic malpractice case against the defendant, Dr. Craig Boyson (Boyson). The court of appeals held, inter alia, that the special verdict submitted to the jury was erroneous because it asked only whether Boyson was negligent in his treatment of Hannemann and did not separately ask whether Boyson failed to obtain Hannemanns informed consent for the procedure that allegedly caused his injury.
