Appellate Opinions Released May 18, 2007

The Wisconsin Supreme Court released its opinion in McNeil v. Hansen today, in which the Court found that reaching through a vehicle window to turn the ignition key in an attempt to start the engine does not constitute the "operation of a motor vehicle" for purposes of the Worker's Compensation exclusive remedy provision if (a) the person is servicing or repairing the vehicle, and (b) the vehicle is in a condition in which it could not be driven on a public roadway.

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals did not release any opinions today.
