Uninsured and Underinsured Accidents
Dealing with Insurance Companies
We often remind our clients that an insurance company is not your friend after you have been injured or lost a family member in an auto, truck, or motorcycle accidents.
Car Accidents
In spite of increasingly strict traffic safety laws, traffic accidents continue to take the lives of thousands of Americans every year.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents often occur because a driver of a car fails to yield right of way to a motorcycle. Cars tend to make left-hand turns in front of motorcycles, swerve into lanes where motorcycles are riding, and perform many more negligent driving maneuvers that may result in injuries and deaths to riders.
18-Wheeler Accidents (Tractor Trailers)
If you have been injured in a truck accident, time is of the essence. You are strongly urged to discuss your case with an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. Valuable evidence needs to be preserved promptly. Statutes of limitations may prevent you from receiving full compensation if you wait too long to take action.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Commercial vehicles include FedEx delivery trucks, taxi cabs, buses, government vehicles, vehicles driven by plumbers, electricians, and other tradesmen. When a private car or van is used for U.S. mail delivery or pizza delivery, it also becomes a commercial vehicle by definition.
Drunk Driver Accidents
In Wisconsin, approximately 300 traffic deaths in one year alone were categorized as alcohol related by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
Car-Pedestrian and Car-Bicycle Accidents
Approximately 30 pedestrians and 10 bicyclists died in traffic accidents in Wisconsin in 2005. Surviving family members are left to ask "Why?" Whether the fault is with the pedestrian or the motorist, the loss is just as painful, and financial needs are just as great.
Rollover Accidents
Rollover accidents have many causes, including icy roads, deep ditches on highway shoulders, and T-bone accidents. Instability of vehicles (whether because of faulty design, speeding, or driver inattention) may be a factor just as much as road and traffic conditions.
Catastrophic Injuries
A catastrophic injury may be defined as an injury which results in some degree of paralysis, followed by a lifetime of adjustments, therapy, and medical services. Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and severe burn injuries caused by car, truck, and motorcycle accidents often cause permanent disability and lifelong needs for assistance in daily living.
Spinal Cord / Neck Injuries
A collision with a motorist who is uninsured or underinsured may mean that there will be strict limitations as to how much you can collect even from your own insurance company. A personal injury attorney with years of experience is an invaluable source of help and support.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Clear and detailed evaluation of the prognosis of traumatic brain injury victims requires time, care, and expertise. Neurophysiologists are among the expert witnesses called upon by our lawyers when a client of our law firm has suffered a debilitating head injury in a traffic accident.
Closed Head Injuries
Family members, coworkers, and others close to the victims often notice subtle and not-so-subtle disabilities such as short-term memory loss or the inability to concentrate or carry on a logical conversation.
Wrongful Death
At a time when a family is coming to grips with a terrible personal loss, it is comforting to have knowledgeable, confident, and experienced legal counsel. An experienced wrongful death attorney has much to offer while guiding a family through this difficult time.
