Our personalized approach ensures that you are not just another file; we believe in building relationships and being there for you at every step of your journey.
Local Insights & Guidance
Understanding the specifics of local traffic laws and insurance regulations in Wisconsin is crucial for advocating effectively. Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning if you are found partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced. Bye, Goff & Rohde is well-versed in these rules and ensures you are fully informed and prepared to navigate these complexities.
Local weather patterns, such as snow and icy conditions prevalent in Wisconsin, often contribute to accidents. Our attorneys, including those recognized as top collision accident attorneys in Wisconsin, are knowledgeable about how these factors interact legally, influencing both liability and claims processes. We ensure that regional specifics are factored into your legal strategy, providing the best possible representation.
Tenacity & Grit
From the moment you allow us to start working for you, our attorneys prepare to take your case all the way to trial. Insurance companies know our familiarity with the courtroom and that we won’t accept an unreasonably low settlement just to move on to the next case. We are determined to see that the residents of Wisconsin and Minnesota are not intimidated into accepting a settlement before an equitable offer is on the table. This determination is a hallmark of a dedicated accident lawyer in Wisconsin, showcasing our commitment to each client's case.
Causes of Deadly Car Accidents
According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, there are over 650 fatalities each year on the roads across Wisconsin. Fatal car accidents are often due to:
- Reckless driving
- Poor road conditions
- Poor weather conditions
- Vehicle manufacturing or servicing defaults (faulty tires, broken brakes, etc.)
- Speeding
- Failure to obey the road signs and traffic signs (running a red light)
- Distracted driving
- Alcohol/drugs
- Inexperience
Whatever the reason behind the crash, it is the families who suffer the most from fatal car accidents. Children are left without mothers; wives are left without husbands; parents are left without children; brothers are left without sisters. If you have been put into this situation, then we can help. We understand your pain and want to make this situation as stress-free as possible. Our compassionate approach is designed to shoulder the legal burdens while you focus on healing.
Moving on after a fatal car accident takes time, patience, and courage. Let us help you through this.

FAQs About Car Accident Claims
Can I File a Claim If I’m Partially at Fault?
In Wisconsin, you can still file a claim even if you are partially at fault thanks to the state's modified comparative negligence rule. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 50% or more at fault, you might not receive any compensation. It's important to have an auto accident lawyer in Wisconsin who can effectively argue on your behalf, minimizing your liability percentage and maximizing your potential recovery.
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
The first step after an accident is to ensure everyone’s safety and call emergency services if needed. Gathering evidence at the scene is crucial, so take photos, talk to witnesses, and collect their contact information if possible. Seek medical attention promptly, even if you feel fine, as injuries can become apparent later. Documenting everything early supports your claim's validity. Contact Bye, Goff & Rohde for legal guidance as soon as possible to speak with a qualified car accident lawyer in Wisconsin.

“After the car accident that I was involved in happened my first thought was not about contacting a lawyer. I was going to handle things myself, but I was given encouragement from a loved one to seek counsel. I am so thankful that I did! . . . Tracy Tool was my lawyer. He was outstanding, he listened, he cared. Tracy was very knowledgeable and explained things to me in a manner that made sense.”
