Injured in a car accident? Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin helps victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain. Free consultation today.
Car accidents are an unfortunate reality on Wisconsin roads, leading to thousands of injuries and fatalities every year. Even a seemingly minor crash can result in serious medical complications, financial losses, and long-term consequences. At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we are committed to helping car accident victims hold negligent drivers accountable and recover the compensation they need to rebuild their lives.
Liability in a car accident claim is determined by identifying who acted negligently or violated traffic laws. Several parties may be held responsible, including:
✔ Negligent Drivers – Those who speed, drive distracted, ignore traffic signals, or operate vehicles under the influence.
✔ Employers – When commercial drivers cause accidents during work hours, their employer may share liability.
✔ Government Agencies – Poor road design, missing signs, or dangerous construction zones can contribute to crashes.
✔ Vehicle Manufacturers – Defective brakes, tires, airbags, or other parts may cause or worsen collisions.
Our legal team conducts thorough investigations to uncover all sources of liability and maximize your recovery.
Car accidents are often preventable. In most cases, negligence plays a major role.
✔ Distracted Driving – Using a phone, adjusting music, or interacting with passengers while driving.
✔ Driving Under the Influence – Alcohol and drugs impair judgment and reaction time.
✔ Speeding – Reduces control of the vehicle and increases the severity of impact.
✔ Reckless Driving – Includes tailgating, weaving between lanes, and road rage.
✔ Failure to Yield or Obey Traffic Signs – Running red lights or stop signs leads to dangerous collisions.
✔ Drowsy Driving – Fatigued drivers are more prone to slow responses and poor decisions.
✔ Rear-End Collisions – Often caused by distracted or aggressive drivers.
✔ T-Bone or Side-Impact Crashes – Common at intersections when drivers fail to yield.
✔ Head-On Collisions – Among the most severe and deadly types of crashes.
✔ Multi-Vehicle Pileups – Involve several cars and complex liability.
✔ Hit-and-Run Accidents – When the at-fault driver leaves the scene illegally.
✔ Whiplash and Neck Strain – Caused by sudden jerking motions in rear-end crashes.

✔ Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – Can lead to cognitive and emotional issues.
✔ Spinal Cord Injuries – May result in partial or full paralysis.
