Personal Injury Claims in Wisconsin
Personal injury cases in Wisconsin are governed by specific state laws that can significantly affect your ability to recover compensation. Understanding these rules is critical to protecting your claim.
Wisconsin’s Comparative Negligence Rule
Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means you can recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% responsible, your compensation will be reduced by 20%.
Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injured victims to reduce payouts. Having an experienced attorney who understands how to challenge these tactics can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case.
Wisconsin Statute of Limitations
In most Wisconsin personal injury cases, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. However, certain types of cases, such as claims against government entities, may have much shorter notice requirements and deadlines.
Failing to meet the applicable deadline can permanently bar your claim, which is why it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Recoverable Damages in Wisconsin
Under Wisconsin law, injured individuals may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Property damage
In some cases, punitive damages
Every case is different, and the value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries and their long-term impact on your life.
Why Choose Tabak Law?
We Fight Insurance Companies — Not You
Insurance companies focus on minimizing payouts. We focus on protecting your rights and pursuing the full compensation you deserve.
Thorough Case Preparation from Day One
We investigate the accident, gather medical records, consult advocates when necessary, and build a strong case designed to maximize your recovery.
Trial-Ready Representation
While many cases settle, we prepare every claim as if it will go to trial. That preparation gives us leverage in negotiations and shows insurers we are serious.
No Fee Unless We Win
You pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you.
