Admitting fault
Even saying "I'm sorry" at the scene can be misinterpreted. Let the facts speak for themselves.
The moments after a crash are confusing, but what you do next matters. As Wisconsin car accident attorneys, we have seen too many people unintentionally damage their claims. We have summarized several common mistakes that can weaken a claim.
Do not try to guess your way through this. Wisconsin follows a modified comparative fault system, and insurance companies may shift blame to lower or deny your settlement. We have handled car accident claims since 1989 and can help you recover compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages.
