What is Personal Injury?
Personal injury is a legal term that refers to physical, psychological, or emotional harm caused by another person through negligence, intentional acts, or strict liability. In contrast to criminal cases, which are initiated by the government to prosecute wrongdoers, personal injury lawsuits are brought by individuals who have suffered harm (plaintiffs) to seek compensation from the responsible party (defendant).
Personal injury cases cover a wide range of accidents, including car accidents, slips and falls, work-related incidents, medical malpractice, defective products, and animal attacks. The key element in these cases is proving that the defendant had a duty of care towards the plaintiff and failed to meet that obligation, directly causing the plaintiff’s harm.
Wisconsin Personal Injury Law: What Milwaukee Residents Need to Know
As a Milwaukee-based law firm, we have a deep understanding of the unique aspects of Wisconsin’s personal injury laws that directly impact our local clients. In Wisconsin, the modified comparative negligence rule means that you can still receive compensation even if you were partially responsible for your accident, as long as your negligence does not exceed 50%. Additionally, there is a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, emphasizing the importance of acting promptly after an accident.
Our knowledge of the local courts, judges, and insurance companies in Milwaukee County gives us a significant advantage when building robust cases and negotiating favorable settlements for our clients. We also understand the specific challenges faced by Milwaukee residents, such as navigating busy city intersections and dealing with winter road conditions. We know how large insurance companies may try to undervalue injuries in the biggest city in Wisconsin.
