Green Bay Personal Injury Lawyer

A single moment can change everything.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

1. Car Collisions Rear end impacts, multi vehicle pile ups, distracted driving wrecks, and claims against uninsured motorists. Our investigators secure traffic camera footage.
2. Commercial Truck Crashes Semi trucks and delivery vans cause catastrophic injuries. We uncover driver log violations, maintenance failures, and company safety shortcuts that violate federal motor carrier rules.
3. Motorcycle and Bicycle Injuries Riders suffer serious fractures and head trauma because drivers fail to yield.
4. Pedestrian Accidents If you were hit while crossing the street, walking in a parking lot, or using a crosswalk, you may have a strong claim against the at-fault driver. Pedestrian accidents often lead to serious injuries, and drivers are legally required to watch for those on foot. At Lindner Law, LLC, we hold negligent drivers accountable and fight for the compensation you need to recover.
5. Rideshare Accidents (Uber & Lyft) Were you injured while riding in an Uber or Lyft or hit by one as a pedestrian or driver? Rideshare claims involve both the individual driver and the insurance policies tied to the rideshare company. We understand how to navigate these complex cases and aggressively pursue all available sources of compensation.
6. Slip, Trip, and Fall Claims All public places, such as Retail stores, sports venues near Lambeau Field, and apartment complexes must maintain safe premises. We act quickly to obtain surveillance video before it is erased and track down witnesses before memories fade.
7. Dog Bites and Animal Attacks Wisconsin law places strict responsibility on dog owners. When an animal with a history of aggression attacks again, we demand double damages for accident victims.
8. Wrongful Death Actions Families deserve justice after a fatal accident. We seek compensation for funeral costs, future earnings, and the immeasurable loss of society and companionship.

Key Points of Wisconsin Personal Injury Law

Three Year Filing Deadline

Wisconsin law requires most personal injury victims to file a lawsuit within three years of the date of injury, in accordance with the state’s statute of limitations. If the case involves a municipality, the deadline is significantly shorter, with some requiring proper notice within as little as 120 days. Missing these critical deadlines can prevent you from recovering any compensation, regardless of how serious the injury may be. Prompt legal action helps protect your rights and ensures there is enough time to gather evidence, document injuries, and build a strong case. At Lindner Law, LLC, we guide our clients through these strict legal timelines with experience and care.

Fifty One Percent Comparative Negligence

Wisconsin follows a comparative negligence rule, which allows you to recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault for the accident. However, any compensation you receive will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. To strengthen your claim, it is essential to build a well-documented case that clearly demonstrates the other party’s responsibility. This includes collecting eyewitness accounts, expert analysis, and other forms of evidence that support your position. Our legal team works to minimize your attributed fault and pursue the maximum compensation available.

Compensatory and Punitive Damages

In a personal injury claim, compensatory damages cover both economic and non-economic losses. Economic damages include costs such as medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, and property damage. Non-economic damages provide compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving reckless or intentional conduct, such as drunk driving, punitive damages may also apply. These damages are designed to punish wrongdoers.

Steps to Protect Your Rights After an Injury

2. Call 911
A police report documents road conditions, witness identities, and initial fault analysis to protect your legal rights.
3. Seek Immediate Medical Care
Even low speed impacts can trigger spinal injuries or concussions that show delayed symptoms. Early treatment creates an objective medical record that insurers cannot dispute.
4. Document Everything
Use your phone to photograph vehicle positions, license plates, visible injuries, and any hazards like broken handrails or spilled liquids. Save receipts, pay stubs, and mileage logs.
5. Notify Your Insurance Company
Provide only basic facts to satisfy policy notice requirements. Politely decline any detailed recorded statement for the at fault insurer until you speak with legal counsel.
6. Contact Lindner Law LLC
Early legal involvement secures evidence while it is fresh, prevents common mistakes on claim forms, and shields you from high pressure tactics by insurance adjusters.

Role of an Attorney in Personal Injury Cases

Navigating the aftermath of an injury can be overwhelming, and that’s where an experienced personal injury attorney becomes invaluable. Your attorney’s role is to serve as a guide and advocate, ensuring that your rights are protected at every stage of the process. We will meticulously gather all necessary evidence, including medical records, witness statements, and accident reports, to construct a compelling case on your behalf. Your Lindner Law attorney also has the expertise to handle negotiations with insurance companies, armed with a deep understanding of the tactics these entities often employ to minimize payouts. We will strive to maximize your compensation by accurately assessing the full scope of your damages, from medical expenses and lost wages to pain and suffering. Moreover, should your case progress to litigation, your attorney will be prepared to represent you in court, advocating for your best interests while managing the complexities of legal procedures. Ultimately, the right attorney not only alleviates the stress of legal navigation but also works tirelessly to ensure you receive the justice and financial recovery you deserve.

What Your Claim May Be Worth

• Medical Treatment – hospital stays, surgery, prescription medicines, therapy sessions, mobility aids, and projected future care.
• Lost Income and Diminished Earning Capacity – paychecks missed during recovery plus any long term reduction in your ability to work full time or in your chosen field.
• Pain and Suffering – physical discomfort, anxiety, sleeplessness, and loss of hobbies such as coaching youth sports or gardening, which can add to financial hardship.
• Property Damage – repair or replacement of your vehicle and personal items damaged in the incident.
• Loss of Society and Companionship – compensation to spouses for changes in companionship and household contributions.
• Punitive Damages – additional sums designed to punish dangerous behavior like intoxicated driving or hit and run conduct.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon should I hire an attorney?

It is crucial to act swiftly in gathering important evidence such as surveillance video or skid marks because they can vanish within a matter of days. Time is of the essence when it comes to preserving crucial information that could be vital in investigations or legal proceedings. Once this evidence is lost, it may become significantly more challenging to reconstruct events accurately or prove certain aspects of a case. Therefore, immediate action is necessary to secure and document any evidence before it potentially disappears.

What does representation cost upfront?

Nothing. Consultations are a crucial first step in the legal process, providing an opportunity for clients to discuss their case with an attorney and determine the best course of action. During these consultations, clients can ask questions, seek legal advice, and gain a better understanding of their rights and options. It is important to choose a law firm that offers free consultations and covers all case expenses upfront. This not only demonstrates the firm’s commitment to helping clients seek justice but also ensures transparency and fairness throughout the legal proceedings. By taking advantage of these free consultations and having all case expenses advanced by the firm, clients can pursue their legal claims without financial burden or risk, empowering them to seek the compensation and resolution they deserve.

Will my personal injury lawsuit case go to trial?

While most claims do end in settlement, the process of thorough trial preparation can often prompt insurers to provide a full settlement without the need for a courtroom battle. By meticulously preparing for trial, you demonstrate your readiness to pursue legal action if necessary, which can incentivize insurance companies to offer you the compensation you deserve. This preparation involves collecting evidence, building a strong case, and understanding the legal procedures involved in your claim. Additionally, having a skilled attorney by your side can guide you through the entire legal process, ensuring that your rights are protected and increasing the likelihood of a favorable outcome in your case.

How long will the process take?

Straightforward claims in legal cases typically get resolved within six to nine months, allowing for a relatively quick resolution. However, complex or catastrophic cases can go on for much longer, sometimes extending beyond a year, particularly if they progress to trial. During the litigation process, various factors can influence the timeline of a case, including the complexity of legal issues involved, the number of parties and witnesses, as well as any appeals that may follow a trial verdict. In such instances, patience and perseverance are key virtues for all parties involved in navigating the legal system towards a resolution.

What should I look for in a Green Bay personal injury attorney?

When selecting a Green Bay personal injury attorney, consider their experience, specialization in personal injury law, and client reviews. It’s also crucial to assess their communication style and willingness to fight for your rights. A free consultation can help gauge their commitment to your case and overall approach.
