Personal Injury

Most of what you read and hear about recovering damages in a car accident comes down to the drivers involved. This is important, but if you are injured as a passenger, you have a right to recover too. It can be complicated to figure out how to pursue a claim. Working with the right accident attorney can help you get the recovery you need and deserve.

When you suffer an injury, one question you should ask is whether you have grounds for a lawsuit. This depends on a number of factors. Ultimately, you should consult a personal injury attorney to talk through what happened to you. He or she can help you apply the law to your situation. If the following applies to you, you may have a strong personal injury case you can bring.

Truck accidents are devastating, particularly to passengers and drivers of automobiles that were involved in the accident. Even truck drivers who are obeying the Wisconsin rules of the road and driving responsibly can be involved in truck accidents through no fault of their own. Unfortunately, the severity of the accident is typically unaffected by the trucker's good driving habits; the sheer size and weight of an 18-wheeler or a fully loaded commercial truck is enough to cause severe injury and property damage to smaller passenger cars.

Jet skis and other personal watercraft are a lot of fun to use, but it's easy to get carried away or to stop paying attention while using them. If you've been enjoying a fun day at the lake only to be injured when someone slams their jet ski or other watercraft into your boat, you could have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. It would depend on what the person who caused the accident was doing or not doing at the time -- in other words, you'd need to be able to prove negligence.

Motorcyclists often face more danger on the road than drivers in cars and trucks. Your vehicle doesn't offer you protection, leaving you vulnerable in an accident. A crash doesn't just come from running into other drivers. Many road hazards put you in trouble every day. If unmanaged road conditions lead to your injuries, you may be entitled to damages after your motorcycle accident.

The unexpected passing of a loved one is always shocking, but that shock can be compounded when you suspect the death could have been prevented.
