Wisconsin Car Accident Law Essentials

Statute of Limitations

Wisconsin law generally allows three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claims involving government vehicles or roadway defects may require notice within 120 days. Acting quickly protects your rights.

Comparative Negligence

You may still recover compensation as long as you are no more than 50 percent responsible for the crash. Any recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to shift blame, and our attorneys work to counter those tactics.

Insurance Coverage Requirements

Wisconsin drivers must carry minimum liability coverage, but serious injuries often exceed these limits. We pursue compensation through all available sources, including uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.

4. Exchange insurance information without admitting fault
