Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases
How much is my personal injury case worth?
The value of your case depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and the impact on your quality of life. We will evaluate your case to determine its worth.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Wisconsin, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the injury. However, exceptions may apply.
What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?
Wisconsin follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation if you are less than 51% at fault, but your award may be reduced.
