“Our initial impression was he was very calming. He had a very calming influence and we just trusted him. He knew what he was talking about. We felt he was going to be honest with us. You know. It was just like sort of a relief to have Frank there and that he was going to be taking care of this for us.”
– Barbara Aschenbrenner, former client
Wisconsin Car Accidents
Wisconsin car accidents and Wisconsin car crashes make up the majority of the cases handled by our Wisconsin personal injury law firm. Our car accident cases typically involve extremely serious personal injuries and include those car accidents involving fractures, burns, surgery, paralysis, death, scarring, permanent injury, disability and disfigurement. The Wisconsin Rules of the Road govern liability for Wisconsin car accidents.
Wisconsin car accidents involve complex issues and the most serious car crash injuries, like those above, absolutely require a Wisconsin personal injury lawyer who is a professional with substantial experience in handling such car accident cases. Too often, people try to become a professional overnight by reading a book, e.g. "How to be your own Wisconsin car accident attorney," or worse, they trust car insurers like Allstate, American Family Insurance, Liberty Mutual or Progressive based on an insurance adjuster's personality or a flyer sent by the responsible car insurance company called "Do I need a lawyer?" or "Customer Service Pledge." Car insurance companies love do-it-yourself victims of car accidents. They also hate dealing with reputable Wisconsin car accident attorneys.
Car insurance companies know, as shown in Allstate's Claims Manual, that people involved in a car crash represented by reputable Wisconsin car accident lawyers settle claims for 2-3 times more than those without attorneys. Car insurers know do-it-yourselfers do not have the professional experience and knowledge of good Wisconsin car accident attorneys.
Wisconsin car accident lawyers, like our firm, know claim case values and know how to beat car insurers at their own game - settle low and fast, or don't settle and encourage prolonged litigation. Car insurance companies also know that the do-it-yourselfer can not take a case to trial and does not understand critical issues involved in each and every car accident. Think about it, do you know what subrogation is? The Rimes doctrine? Made whole? ERISA? Do you know what that release means? What effect it has on underinsurance coverage? Whether you can collect for lost wages if you are salaried? What loss of earning capacity is? A professional lawyer with Wisconsin car accident experience does and get you full and fair compensation saving you a lot of time and likely netting you a better than you could get on your own.
