Personal Injury Deserves Personal Attention!
Recoverable Compensation After a Personal Injury
When someone else’s negligence causes your injuries, Wisconsin law allows you to pursue financial compensation for the harm you’ve suffered. This compensation typically encompasses two primary categories: economic and non-economic losses.
Economic Losses
These are the measurable financial costs related to your accident. They can include:
- Medical expenses like emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, medication, physical therapy, and future treatment
- Lost wages from paychecks missed while you recover, and potential lost earning capacity if you can’t return to work fully
- Property damage, such as repairs or replacement for your vehicle or other personal property
- Out-of-pocket costs like transportation to appointments, home modifications, or hired help
Non-Economic Losses
These address the intangible impact of your injuries, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring or disfigurement
Your Wisconsin personal injury lawyer will carefully evaluate your situation to ensure every loss, both financial and personal, is accounted for when seeking fair compensation.
How a Wisconsin Personal Injury Attorney Can Help
After an accident, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Your medical appointments, insurance calls, and lost income can quickly add up. A Wisconsin personal injury attorney can step in and handle the legal side while you focus on recovery.

How a Wisconsin Personal Injury Lawyer Proves Negligence
To win a personal injury case in Wisconsin, your attorney must show that another party’s careless actions caused your injuries. This is done by proving four key elements of negligence:
- Duty of Care: The other party must have had a legal obligation to act safely. For example, drivers must follow traffic laws and avoid endangering others on the road.
- Breach of Duty: Your lawyer will demonstrate how that duty was violated, such as a driver texting behind the wheel while driving through Middleton.
- Causation: It’s not enough that someone acted carelessly; their actions must be shown to have directly caused your accident and injuries. For example, a driver sped through a red light in La Crosse and t-boned your vehicle.
- Damages: Finally, your attorney will prove you suffered harm, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other losses.
Your lawyer will gather evidence, consult experts, and build a compelling case to establish each of these elements, giving you the strongest chance at fair compensation. Contact The Goldwater Law Firm to get connected with a Wisconsin personal injury lawyer.
What to Do After an Accident
The steps you take right after an accident can protect both your health and your legal rights. Here’s what you should do:
- Call 9-1-1: Ask the dispatcher to send police officers and paramedics to the scene. Law enforcement can create a police report while EMTs treat your injuries.
- Document the Scene: If possible, take photos or videos of your injuries, the accident area, and any contributing hazards. Collect witness names and contact information.
- Avoid Admitting Fault: Be polite, but don’t speculate about who caused the accident; let the investigation determine that.
- Contact a Personal Injury Attorney: A lawyer can guide you through the claims process, preserve evidence, and protect you from insurance tactics.
At The Goldwater Law Firm, we’re ready to help from the very first call.
Frequently Asked Questions
At The Goldwater Law Firm, we connect you to lawyers who work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover on your behalf. If they don’t recover compensation for you, you won’t owe them anything.
Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means you can still recover compensation if you’re partially at fault for an accident, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. However, your percentage of fault will reduce the amount of compensation you receive. For example, if you’re 20% at fault and your final damage award is $100,000, you could recover $80,000.
Every case is different, but many personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation within several months to a year. More complex cases or those that go to trial can take longer. Your attorney will keep you updated on the timeline and work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while protecting your best interests.
Take the Next Step Toward Justice and Recovery
Suffering an injury because of someone else’s carelessness can disrupt every part of your life, but you don’t have to face the legal system alone. A Wisconsin personal injury lawyer can stand by your side through every stage of the legal process.
When we connect you with one of our law firm partners, you also gain the support of a nationwide network of experts, from medical professionals to accident reconstruction specialists, working to strengthen your case.
We can’t connect you until you call. And remember, time matters. Wisconsin’s statute of limitations limits how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit to three years.
