Our personal injury practice includes:
Every personal injury case is different. Determining who is responsible may require investigating the accident, preserving evidence, reviewing applicable laws, and evaluating the conduct of everyone involved.
If another party is responsible for your injuries, you may be able to seek compensation for the financial and personal losses resulting from the accident.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:
The amount you may recover depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical care, how your injuries affect your ability to work, and whether you are expected to experience lasting limitations.
An attorney can evaluate your losses and gather evidence to document how the accident has affected your life.
Being partially responsible for an accident does not necessarily prevent you from recovering compensation in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may generally recover damages if your negligence is not greater than the negligence of the person you are seeking compensation from. However, your recovery is reduced according to your percentage of responsibility.
For example, if you were awarded $100,000 in damages but found 20% responsible for the accident, your recovery would generally be reduced by 20%.
Insurance companies may dispute fault or argue that an injured person shares responsibility for an accident. A personal injury lawyer can investigate the evidence and respond to allegations that could reduce or prevent a financial recovery.
Wisconsin generally gives injured people three years to file a lawsuit for injuries caused by another person’s negligence.
However, the applicable deadline can vary depending on the circumstances of the case and the parties involved. Waiting too long can also make it more difficult to preserve evidence.
Photographs, surveillance footage, witness testimony, vehicle data, accident-scene evidence, and other information can become harder to obtain as time passes. Speaking with an attorney promptly can help you determine the deadline that applies and preserve evidence that may support your claim.
The steps you take after an accident can affect both your health and a potential personal injury claim.
When possible:
You should also consider speaking with a personal injury attorney before accepting a settlement. Once a claim is settled, you generally cannot seek additional compensation if your injuries or losses turn out to be more serious than initially expected.
An unexpected injury can leave you facing medical expenses, lost income, pain, and uncertainty about your future. You do not have to handle an insurance claim or personal injury case on your own.
