If you have been injured in a car accident, you need an experienced attorney who knows how to fight insurance companies and maximize your compensation. Car accidents are the most common type of personal injury case, but that does not make them simple.
In Wisconsin, personal injury cases are governed by specific state laws that affect how your case is handled:
Wisconsin follows modified comparative negligence under Wis. Stat. 895.045. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover. Wisconsin caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $750,000 but does not cap damages in other personal injury cases.
Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor soft tissue damage to catastrophic harm. Common injuries include whiplash and neck injuries, traumatic brain injuries and concussions, broken bones and fractures, spinal cord injuries and herniated discs, internal organ damage, and lacerations requiring surgery. Many car accident injuries do not manifest symptoms immediately. It is critical to seek medical attention right away, even if you feel fine at the scene.
After a car accident, your priority should be safety and documentation. Call 911 and get medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries. Exchange information with all drivers involved. Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, skid marks, and traffic signals. Get contact information from witnesses. Do not admit fault or apologize at the scene. Contact an experienced car accident attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters.
