How Do Our Milwaukee Attorneys Approach Auto Accident Claims?
Our attorneys have experience handling many types of auto accident claims statewide, including:
- Truck wrecks
- Motorcycle collisions
- Bike accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Passenger injuries
- Rear-end accidents
- Teen driver accidents
Liability
We gather and examine all available evidence. We also consult with experts in motor vehicle accident reconstruction, engineering and other fields. We use that evidence to determine the cause of the crash as well as every party who should be held accountable for the losses that each of our clients has suffered in a car accident through no fault of their own.
Damages
Our car accident lawyers collect and review medical records, receipts of other accident-related expenses, work and income records and statements from friends and family members in order to determine the physical, emotional and financial impact of an auto accident on our clients’ lives. We also consult with doctors, nurses, life care planners and other medical experts to determine our clients’ future medical needs and the costs of meeting those needs.
By carefully preparing claims, we work from a position of strength when we negotiate with insurance companies or argue a case in court. As a result, we reach settlements for most car accident cases that our law firm handles. However, we never rush through a case or advise a client to accept a settlement that fails to fairly compensate them. Our highly skilled trial lawyers are always ready to go to court for our clients.

Addressing Frequently Asked Questions
The aftermath of any accident can be confusing and overwhelming. At Lindner Law, LLC, our experienced car accident attorneys can relieve your stress. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about motor vehicle accidents.
What compensation can you recover after a crash?
Our attorneys know how a Milwaukee car accident can cause catastrophic injuries, including brain damage, spinal cord injury, burns, fractures, scarring and disfigurement. Victims may suffer permanent disabilities that leave them unable to work or enjoy life as they did before.
Our staff features investigators, property damage specialists, paralegals, legal secretaries and other personnel. They all work toward pursuing maximum compensation for the losses our clients have suffered. We know that compensation will play a big role for them as they cope with their injuries and move on with their lives.
In a claim, our car accident lawyers may pursue damages that include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income, including bonuses, fringe benefits and vacation pay
- Diminished future income due to a reduced earning ability
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of a spouse’s services and companionship
- Punitive damages (if appropriate)
- Wrongful death damages (if a client’s loved one died in a crash)
To recover maximum compensation for our clients, we identify all liable parties and all available sources of compensation, including another party’s insurance coverage and, in some cases, our clients’ own insurance policies.
Who is liable if you have been hit by a truck?
The contractual relationships between over-the-road truckers, the companies for which they haul goods, and the owners of the tractors and trailers are complicated. If you are hit by a truck driver who is employed by a company, the driver, the company, and the company’s insurer are all potentially liable. However, many drivers act as independent contractors. They may or may not have their own individual insurance.
Do I need to hire an attorney after a truck accident?
Truck companies have strong legal teams that are experienced at decreasing the relative degree of fault of their drivers. You need a skilled truck accident attorney who can investigate the complex factors involved in your crash, gather key evidence from the truck’s black box and advocate on your behalf. A truck’s black box contains data about the vehicle’s trip leading up to the crash. Trucking companies may try to recover and delete this information if you do not have an attorney who can step in and request access to this valuable data.
Accidents involving trucks can easily result in severe injuries due to their size. Our lawyers can help you pursue maximum compensation to cover your medical costs and any necessary long-term care.
Who is liable if I am in a rideshare accident?
Uber and Lyft require all their drivers to purchase at least the minimum insurance required by their state of residence. If the rideshare driver had their app on at the time of the crash and was in the process of picking up or dropping off a rider, Uber or Lyft might be liable for the accident damages. If the driver was not on duty, their personal insurance company may be required to pay damages. Our legal team will thoroughly investigate the particulars of your accident involving the driver of a ridesharing service to determine fault and liability.
What happens if I am hit by an uninsured motorist?
While all Wisconsin motorists are required by law to carry insurance, some still fail to do so. If you are hit by an uninsured motorist, your personal insurance coverage will cover your damages up to the limits of your coverage. In Wisconsin, insurers must provide a minimum of $25,000 in uninsured motorist coverage per person and $50,000 per accident for any bodily injuries the driver or one of their passengers might suffer.
What are the leading causes of motorcycle accidents?
Some of the most common causes of motorcycle collisions include:
- Cars making left-hand turns (this accounts for more than 40% of motorcycle crashes)
- Drivers failing to see bikers due to their smaller size
- Distracted or drunk drivers
Are Wisconsin motorcyclists penalized for not wearing a helmet?
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim after a car accident?
I don’t think I was injured that badly. Do I still need to see a doctor after a motor vehicle accident?
Yes. Regardless of how you feel immediately after a crash, you should always seek medical evaluation. Some severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, may not be apparent for days or even weeks after the accident.
Do not be concerned about the costs of seeking medical care. We can submit those costs to be covered under your personal injury claim.
