Note: Section 66.0715 relates to the payment of special assessments in installments.

The employer or compensation insurer who shall have paid or is obligated to pay a lawful claim under this chapter shall have the same right to make claim or maintain an action in tort against any other party for such injury or death. If the department pays or is obligated to pay a claim under s. 102.81 (1), the department shall also have the right to maintain an action in tort against any other party for the employee's injury or death.

Any action brought under this subsection may, upon order of the court, be consolidated and tried together with any action brought under sub. (1).

253,62 Section 62. 102.29 (5) of the statutes is amended to read:
