What Constitutes a Personal Injury?

Personal injury law is designed to protect people who have been physically, emotionally, or financially harmed due to someone else’s actions. Generally, a personal injury occurs as the result of negligence, reckless behavior, or intentional misconduct by another party.

Examples of common situations that may lead to a personal injury claim include:

• A distracted driver causes a car collision.
• A dog owner fails to secure their animal, resulting in a bite injury.
• Unsafe conditions at a store lead to a slip-and-fall accident.
• A negligent workplace exposes employees to injury risks.

If someone else’s carelessness or harmful behavior has caused you harm, you have the right to seek accountability and compensation through legal action. Our attorneys can help you determine if your situation justifies filing a personal injury claim under Wisconsin liability law, as well as handle every step of your case if you can file a claim, allowing you to focus on recovery.

Potential Compensation in a Personal Injury Claim in Wisconsin

If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may face steep financial losses and painful emotional burdens. Through a claim handled by our Wisconsin personal injury attorneys, you can seek fair compensation and justice for every type of harm and hardship you have dealt with due to someone else’s mistakes.

The two most common types of damages in a Wisconsin personal injury claim are:

• Economic damages: Medical bills, including future treatments or rehabilitation costs; lost wages and reduced earning capacity; and costs related to repairing or replacing damaged property.
• Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering caused by your injury; emotional distress and trauma; and loss of enjoyment of life or ability to participate in activities you once loved.

Although rare, Wisconsin courts sometimes approve punitive damages in certain cases where the at-fault party’s behavior was intentional or especially reckless. Unlike other damages that are meant to compensate the plaintiff, punitive damages are meant to penalize the defendant.

How Contingency Fees Help Our Clients

We understand that the financial strains following an injury can be significant and that every dollar you can save will go a long way. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury claims in Wisconsin. Through a contingency fee agreement, you don’t pay any upfront costs to hire us, and we only get paid our attorney fees if we win your case and recover compensation on your behalf.
