Personal Injury

Any time a person is injured in an accident, there is the potential for future medical expenses. Long-standing injuries can arise whether the accident was due to another person's negligence or not, but when it is due to another's negligence, there is a possibility of obtaining financial compensation from the one responsible for the accident. This can be incredibly helpful for victims who face ongoing medical needs.

Your insurance company is usually on your side when you get into an accident. However, the sheer amount of communication you have to initiate and track -- not to mention the records and other paper trails you may have to obtain or monitor -- can make you feel like the opposite is true. The process of filing an insurance claim and recouping costs does not have to be that complicated, and if you know what to do when you contact your agent, your experience can be much more efficient.

Accidents happen. When they do, figuring out whose fault it was can be complicated. You may have made a mistake, and it can leave you believing that you can't do anything about it. Fortunately, this is often not the case. An experienced lawyer can help you with your personal injury claim, even if an accident was partially your fault.

Any accident you experience on the road is scary. Accidents with semi-trucks, though, create particular dangers for you. The large vehicles, traveling at highway speeds, can cause a lot of damage when something goes wrong, and often leave other drivers with significant injuries. If you have been in an accident with a semi-truck driver, you need to protect yourself and your legal rights.

On the face of it, a multiple vehicle accident can appear to be the fault of the last driver in the chain, but in reality, any of the drivers could be at fault, even more than one of them. This is because multi-vehicle accidents often occur due to a combination of factors – weather, speed, traffic on the roads, time of day, and road conditions - as well as driver actions. Drivers themselves range from newly licensed to those with decades of driving experience and from professional or commercial drivers to those who drive only occasionally.

Snow, sleet, ice, wind -- Wisconsin winters have it all, and drivers need to be alert. For new residents, and even long-time ones who have gotten complacent about their driving skills, safety is of the utmost importance. Both your actions on the road and how you take care of your car can make a huge difference.
