Wausau Personal Injury Attorney

A serious injury can change your life in seconds. One distracted driver on Grand Avenue, a slippery floor inside a local business, or an unrestrained dog in a neighborhood park can leave you facing medical bills, lost income, and a long recovery. When someone else’s negligence causes that harm, Wisconsin law gives you the right to pursue compensation.

At Lindner Law, LLC, we have spent more than thirty years helping injured people across Wisconsin rebuild their lives. Our attorneys understand the challenges injury victims face and know how to stand up to insurance companies that try to minimize or deny valid claims. If you were hurt in Wausau or anywhere in Marathon County, our team is ready to protect your rights and fight for the recovery you deserve.

Why Wausau Injury Victims Choose Lindner Law, LLC

Decades of Wisconsin Personal Injury Experience

Our firm focuses exclusively on personal injury law. We know Wisconsin statutes, local court procedures, and how claims are handled in Marathon County Circuit Court. That experience allows us to anticipate defenses, preserve evidence early, and position your case for success from the start.

Proven Results

Over the years, we have recovered tens of millions of dollars for injury victims throughout the state. Insurance companies recognize our reputation for thorough preparation and trial readiness, which often leads to fair settlements without unnecessary delays.

No Fee Unless We Win

You do not pay anything upfront. We advance all costs related to investigation, expert review, and court filings. Our fee is only collected if we recover compensation for you.

Local Knowledge That Matters

Wausau has unique risk factors, from high traffic corridors like US Highway 51 and State Highway 29 to winter conditions that increase fall and crash risks. We understand how local crash reports, medical records from Aspirus Wausau Hospital, and area traffic patterns impact injury claims.

Direct and Compassionate Support

You will have direct access to your attorney and paralegal, same day responses to questions, and regular updates on your case. Our goal is to reduce stress and give you clarity during a difficult time.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Wausau

Car Accidents

Crashes on Highway 51, Stewart Avenue, and downtown intersections frequently lead to serious injuries. We investigate distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and failure to yield to establish fault and pursue full compensation.

Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial traffic traveling through Marathon County can cause devastating injuries. We review driver logs, maintenance records, and company safety policies to hold trucking companies accountable.

Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents

Riders face increased danger when drivers fail to look or misjudge distance. We fight for injured motorcyclists and cyclists to recover for medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are especially vulnerable near downtown Wausau and commercial areas. When drivers fail to yield, we help injured pedestrians pursue justice and financial recovery.

Slip, Trip, and Fall Injuries

Falls caused by ice, poor lighting, broken steps, or wet floors can lead to serious injuries. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions, and we hold them accountable when they fail to do so.

Dog Bites

Wisconsin law holds dog owners strictly liable for bites. We represent adults and children injured by dog attacks and pursue full compensation, including double damages when the dog has a prior history.

Wrongful Death

When negligence results in the loss of a loved one, families deserve answers and accountability. We handle wrongful death claims with compassion and determination, seeking compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship.

Wausau and Marathon County Injury Snapshot

Marathon County reports hundreds of injury related crashes each year.

• Speeding and distracted driving remain leading causes of accidents
• Winter weather increases both vehicle crashes and slip and fall injuries
• High traffic areas include US Highway 51, State Highway 29, and Grand Avenue

Understanding these local patterns allows our attorneys to build stronger cases backed by relevant evidence and data.

Wisconsin Personal Injury Law Overview

Three Year Statute of Limitations

In most cases, Wisconsin law gives injury victims three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Claims involving government entities require notice within as little as 120 days. Missing these deadlines can prevent recovery entirely, which is why prompt legal advice is critical.

Comparative Negligence

Wisconsin follows a comparative negligence rule. You may recover compensation as long as you are no more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. Any recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys work to minimize fault and maximize compensation.

Compensation Available

Depending on your case, you may recover damages for:

• Medical expenses and future care
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Loss of companionship for spouses
• Punitive damages in cases involving reckless behavior
