Times to Contact a Wisconsin Personal Injury Lawyer

Stephanie Thompson, Estate Planning Attorney of Krueger Hernandez & Thompson SC · Sep 12, 2016 ·

car accident injuriesAre you thinking about contacting a Wisconsin personal injury lawyer? If this is on your mind, there’s a good chance you or a loved one has been injured in some type of accident.

While you never want to find yourself in this position, it’s good to know that there’s a legal professional out there who can answer your questions, provide advice, and help you receive the compensation you deserve.

Before we go any further, there’s one thing you always need to remember: you should worry about your health above all else. Although there may come a time when you consult with a Wisconsin personal injury lawyer, don’t do this until you have received medical attention and know what is required in order to recover to the fullest possible extent.

When to Make the Call

It goes without saying that you never want to find yourself needing the assistance of a personal injury attorney. After all, nobody wants to be injured in an accident to the point where they feel they should receive compensation from the negligent party.

However, many Wisconsin residents find themselves in this position every year. Here are a few times when you need to make the call:

  1. Motor vehicle accident. Were you injured in a car accident? Was another driver responsible for causing the accident?

If you find yourself in this position, you need to contact an attorney at once. There is more to this than meets the eye, so you want to have a professional team on your side from the start.

Generally speaking, you need to prove that the other person was negligent for the accident. In some cases, this is simple. In other situations, it is much more difficult.

From texting and driving to drinking and driving, there are many potential causes of an accident.

  1. Motorcycle accident. No matter how hard you try to remain safe on your motorcycle, you never know when another driver won’t let you be.

It’s unfortunate, but some people simply don’t like to share the road with motorcyclists. As a result, this increases the likelihood of an accident.

A motorcycle accident can be extremely dangerous, due to the fact that you don’t have much, if any, protection between you and the pavement.

  1. Truck accident. As you know, there are thousands upon thousands of trucks on Wisconsin’s roadways. While there is nothing wrong with this, there are times when truckers don’t obey the rules of the road.

For example, some truckers are always driving too fast. Others don’t take enough breaks, as required by law.

If you’re injured in a truck accident, you need to dig around to learn more about the cause.

  1. Bike and pedestrian accidents. As a pedestrian, you have certain rights. But just the same as motorcyclists, you may soon find that drivers don’t want to share the road with you.

It doesn’t matter if you are injured crossing the street or on the sidewalk, you have rights and you need to know what they are.

  1. Slip and fall accidents. There is nothing more frustrating than being injured in a slip and fall accident. One minute you are walking along, minding your own business. The next, you step on something that causes you to slip, fall, and suffer a serious injury.

Slip and fall accidents can happen both inside and outside commercial properties, such as shopping malls, grocery stores, and office buildings.

Call Today

As you can see, there are many times when you need to consider contacting a Wisconsin personal injury lawyer. You’ve been involved in an accident, so you might as well learn more about your rights and create a plan for moving forward.  At our law firm, we do whatever it takes to provide local residents with the assistance they require.
