Consumer Update Fall 2025: Auto Dealer, Auto Repair, and Auto Financing Cases

Product ID: CA3849D
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

Law in the fast lane

From deceptive sales tactics to botched repairs and questionable financing, auto-related consumer complaints drive litigation across Wisconsin. Attorneys are turning to Chapter 218, Wis.

At the same time, recent jury verdicts suggest shifting expectations around damages, liability, and industry practices—raising the stakes for both plaintiffs and defendants.

If your clients are dealing with predatory auto loans, repair fraud, or dealer misconduct, Consumer Update Fall 2025 offers timely insight into what’s happening in courtrooms now. You’ll analyze key jury verdicts from 2024-25, explore how courts are applying consumer protection statutes, and learn what outcomes practitioners are seeing in real-world scenarios.
