Personal Injury

Motorcycle accidents often lead to significant injuries and property damage costs. If someone else causes the accident, you can expect their insurance company to come to you quickly with an offer. Avoiding the cost and time of litigation may be tempting. Before you accept any offer, though, you should see an experienced personal injury attorney. By talking you through your case, he or she can help you understand the value of your claim.

Biking is a great way to get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air, and get around towns and cities like Madison, WI, but it's not without risk. That risk can come from busy and congested roads, distracted drivers, poorly maintained sidewalks, or even rain and ice. The chance of bike accident injuries is much higher than the chances of sustaining injury in a car because bicyclists are completely exposed and unprotected, unlike vehicle drivers and passengers. When bicyclists do get injured, those injuries are also usually more severe than injuries sustained in a car accident. That can lead to more hospital stays, higher medical bills, longer treatment plans, and more time off from work.

Slip and fall accidents are common and can lead to questions about who exactly is liable for the injuries and medical bills, along with missed pay and other costs. Knowing the cause of the fall is not always enough to figure out where liability lies because additional factors can quickly change the story surrounding the incident. This is especially true of rental housing, where people other than you are typically responsible for property upkeep.

We all have times driving when we get impatient. The driver in front of you might be moving slowly, or you may be in a hurry. Still, tailgating does almost nothing to get you to your destination faster. If you move too close to the driver in front of you, you put yourself and others in danger. Take time to focus on safety when you are on Wisconsin highways.

In Wisconsin and every state in the country, drivers are required to carry auto insurance. This should provide an effective process of getting your medical costs and vehicle damage covered.

Wrongful death claims come about after someone has died because of another person's negligence. One of the most common examples of this is car accidents. Reckless or negligent driving, can lead to accidents, which can result in death to passengers or other drivers and passengers on the road. This is considered a "wrongful death" and the family of the person who has died as a result of the accident may decide to pursue a legal claim or lawsuit against the driver responsible for the accident.
