“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.”

Wisconsin Fatal Car Accidents
Wisconsin car accidents make up the majority of the cases handled by our Wisconsin personal injury law firm. Many of these Wisconsin car accident cases involve wrongful death. The Wisconsin Rules of the Road govern liability for Wisconsin fatal car accidents.
In 2004, Wisconsin had 792 deaths in car accidents. Nearly half of these deaths were alcohol related car accidents. Nationally, 42,636 deaths occurred in car accidents in 2004. One increasing type of fatal car accident, involves motorcycle riders. In 2004, deaths from motorcycle accidents increased for the 7th year in a row to 4,008.
In Wisconsin, car accidents involving death involve complex issues and 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 or inappropriately trust some insurance company adjuster who merely wants to close their file for the lowest cost possible. A Wisconsin car accident involving a death should not be handled in such a manner. Car insurance companies' statistics confirm that an experienced car accident lawyer settles claims for 2-3 times more than those without attorneys.
