Wis JI-Civil 1056
Lookout: Camouflage
A person who [claims to have] exercised ordinary care in maintaining a lookout, but
nevertheless failed to see an object is not negligent because of failure to see the object if the
object is not seen because at least one of the factors of recognition (color, shape, texture,
movement, position, or shadow) was not present causing the object to blend with its
background.
You must decide whether the factor(s) of recognition claimed to be absent provide(s)
a valid explanation for (party) who claims to have exercised ordinary care in maintaining
lookout but, nevertheless, failed to see the object.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
