Car Accidents

Skilled Milwaukee Car Accident Attorneys Supporting Wisconsin's Injured Victims

A common reaction to personal injury claims is fear. Fear the legal result against a negligent party will not be fair. Fear the legal result will not deliver all of the available remedies. Fear the lawyer you hire will not work diligently to prosecute all legal rights and will not have the experience necessary to maximize compensation resulting from your car accident injuries.

What Are Some Of The Causes Of Car Accidents In Wisconsin?

In Wisconsin, some of the most common causes we see include distracted driving, speeding, failing to yield the right-of-way, driving under the influence and disregarding traffic signals. It does not take much — someone checking a text message or rushing through a yellow light can turn into a devastating crash in a matter of seconds.

Slippery road conditions, especially during our brutal winters, also contribute to an I-94 car crash and a high number of collisions. But bad weather does not excuse poor driving. When drivers fail to slow down or use proper caution, they can still be held accountable.

Even driver fatigue, especially with truck drivers and shift workers, can be just as dangerous as impaired driving. Unfortunately, aggressive driving and road rage have become more common, leading to dangerous lane changes, tailgating and unnecessary risks that put everyone at risk.

The important thing to remember is that most car accidents are preventable. When someone else's careless actions cause you harm, you have the right to hold them responsible. We can help you do that.

I was 34 years old, driving a truck on local routes. I suffered an injury on the road which forced me to leave my occupation. I had never worked any other job. The other driver's insurance company denied any responsibility for my losses, or my future. I hired Stanford Law Offices. We went to trial, and made the other driver's insurance company pay for my past losses, and for retraining me for a new career. Stanford Law Offices gave me a second chance in life, and the opportunity to provide for my family.

My son was a passenger in a car operated by an intoxicated driver. Because the driver was intoxicated, there was an accident causing my son's death. There were no witnesses. I hired Stanford Law Offices, S.C. who conducted a thorough investigation using its resources. Stanford Law Offices, S.C. got to the bottom of what occurred and recreated the accident. In recreating the accident, Stanford Law Offices, S.C. was able to prove who was at fault and we received compensation to bring closure to our family.

I was 25, single, pregnant, and a mother of two when I was in an auto accident that left my newborn and me permanently disabled. The other driver and her insurance company denied any responsibility for my losses. I hired Stanford Law Offices and together we prevailed in forcing the insurance company to compensate us for our medical bills, lost wages, disabilities, and future necessities. My daughter now has every opportunity that any other child has — thanks to the help we received from Stanford Law Offices.

I am a 58-year-old security guard who was involved in a motor vehicle accident. As a result of the motor vehicle accident, I sustained a severe back injury which was later operated on by my surgeon. Because of the resulting disability, I was terminated from my employment. In short, I was permanently and totally disabled from working and fired from my job and had no means of income. There was a question on who had the green light. I hired Stanford Law Offices, S.C. who prevailed in proving I had the green light and getting sufficient compensation to pay for my loss of job, past and future pain, suffering and disability, and my future medical care.

I was a 27 year old single mother traveling to work. I was pregnant when I was driving to work. Another driver ran a red light, struck my motor vehicle causing the premature birth and death of my child. The other driver fled the scene and the police refused to cooperate. I hired Stanford Law Offices. Stanford Law Offices, through its own investigative means, found the other driver and pursued civil remedies against it and a number of insurance companies I never knew existed. While no amount of money can replace what my family lost, Stanford Law Offices was able to lessen the damage to my family. This accident happened in 1994. To this day, my family remains friends with Stanford Law Offices.

I was seven months pregnant when another driver ran a stop sign. My child was born, however, severely disabled. I hired Stanford Law Offices. Stanford Law Offices pursued remedies against insurance companies I never felt were possibly responsible, or I could have pursued by virtue of the other driver running the stop sign. By virtue of the result I obtained from Stanford Law Offices, my child was able to attend special education classes her entire life. In addition, a Trust was set up on her behalf where her financial, educational and daily needs have been met from the time she was born for an excess of 17 years. Stanford Law Offices has not only been our lawyer, but we consider them part of our family.

Common Mistakes To Avoid After A Milwaukee Car Accident

The moments after a crash are confusing, but what you do next matters. As a Milwaukee car accident lawyer team, we have seen too many people unintentionally damage their claims through simple, preventable mistakes. We have summarized several of the most common ones to avoid.

Do not try to guess your way through this. Since Wisconsin follows the modified comparative fault system, insurance companies will take advantage of this and shift the blame to you to lower or deny your settlement amount. We have handled these situations every day since 1989 and can help you recover compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses and lost wages.

Admitting fault

Even saying "I'm sorry" at the scene can be misinterpreted. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Failing to call the police

A formal police report creates a record that can be critical later.

Skipping medical care

You may feel okay at first, but injuries such as whiplash or concussions can show up hours or days later.

Not collecting evidence

Photos, witness information and even weather conditions can make a big difference in proving your case.

Talking to the insurance company without legal guidance

Their job is to settle fast and pay less. Our job is to protect your full rights.
