Wisconsin Car Accident Lawyers
Injured in a car accident? You need a trial lawyer on your side.
Leveling the playing field after a crash
A car accident can upend your life in an instant. Medical bills pile up, you may be unable to work, and insurance companies — including your own — are already working to minimize what they pay you. At Strang Bradley, our Wisconsin car accident lawyers level the playing field, using experience and legal knowledge to pursue every dollar of compensation you are owed.
We handle car accident cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means you pay us nothing unless and until we obtain a pre-trial settlement or trial verdict on your behalf.
Common Causes of Car Accidents in Wisconsin
Our attorneys have represented clients injured in car accidents caused by distracted driving (texting, phone use, eating behind the wheel); drunk or impaired driving; speeding and reckless driving; running red lights or stop signs; failure to yield; drowsy driving; poor road conditions or defective roadway design; defective vehicle parts such as tires, brakes, and steering; and tailgating and aggressive driving.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Wisconsin
The decisions you make in the hours and days following a collision can significantly affect the value of your claim. We recommend:
- Stay at the scene and call 911. A police report is one of the most important pieces of evidence in your case.
- Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Injuries like whiplash, concussion, or internal bleeding can be delayed, and medical records tie your injuries to the accident.
- Document everything. Photograph the vehicles, the scene, road conditions, and your injuries, and collect the names and contact information of all witnesses.
- Talk to an attorney before giving a statement to an insurance company
- Contact Strang Bradley before accepting an early settlement offer. Initial offers are almost always far below what you are entitled to.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
A successful car accident claim can include past and future medical expenses (emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, therapy); lost wages and loss of future earning capacity; past and future pain and suffering; emotional distress; property damage; loss of enjoyment of life; loss of consortium; and punitive damages in cases involving drunk driving or extreme recklessness.
Why Choose Strang Bradley
Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and attorneys whose goal is to pay you as little as possible. We have been fighting back against that imbalance for years, making sure our clients receive fair compensation for what they have endured. We take the stress that follows an accident off your plate so you can focus on your recovery — handling all aspects of your case and providing the stability and support you need after such an overwhelming event.
