A serious injury can upend your life in an instant, and in the days that follow, you may find yourself overwhelmed by medical bills, insurance calls, and uncertainty about how to move forward. Whether you were hurt in a car accident, a slip and fall, or another incident caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve a legal team committed to fighting for every dollar you are owed.
At Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, we are proud to serve injured residents of Waunakee and the surrounding communities. Our firm brings more than 80 years of combined legal experience to each case we take on, and our attorneys work exclusively in personal injury law, meaning your case receives focused, dedicated attention from the start. We operate on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we win. If you are looking for a Wisconsin personal injury lawyer who knows how to stand up to insurance companies, you have come to the right place.
Personal injury law covers a wide range of incidents in which one party’s negligence causes harm to another. Waunakee residents face many of the same risks found throughout Dane County, from busy roadways connecting the village to Madison to commercial properties, private homes, and public spaces where dangerous conditions can develop. Our team regularly handles cases involving serious injuries resulting from the carelessness of others.
The types of cases we accept include the following, though this list is not exhaustive. Each situation is unique, and we encourage you to reach out so we can evaluate the specifics of what happened to you.
Every case our team accepts is handled with the same level of commitment: tireless negotiation backed by a willingness to take matters to trial if that is what it takes to secure a fair result.
Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation can be reduced if you are found partially at fault for the accident. Typically, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for your own injury, you may still recover damages. Understanding how fault is assigned and how insurance companies may use this rule against you is critical to protecting your recovery.
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, and they often move quickly after an accident to gather statements and make low settlement offers before you have had a chance to consult an attorney. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, impaired driving alone contributes to thousands of deaths and serious injuries on U.S. roads each year, yet even in clear-cut cases, insurers routinely dispute liability or undervalue claims. Having legal representation levels the playing field.
In Wisconsin, personal injury claims are generally subject to a three-year filing deadline, but exceptions and case-specific factors can affect that timeline, making it important to speak with an attorney early. Acting promptly also gives our team the opportunity to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
Choosing the right attorney matters enormously in a personal injury case. Our firm’s attorneys have built their reputations on results, not rhetoric. We approach every case with the tenacity and personal investment our clients deserve.
We also operate under The Pemberton Promise: our pledge to every client who puts their trust in us. We know insurance companies have entire teams of adjusters and attorneys working to reduce your claim, and we prepare accordingly. Our firm does not back down.
If you or a family member has been seriously injured in or around Waunakee, time is a factor. Evidence fades, witnesses become harder to reach, and insurance companies grow more entrenched in their positions with each passing week. The sooner you speak with our team, the better positioned you will be to pursue the compensation you deserve.
Reach out to Pemberton Personal Injury Law today to schedule your free case evaluation. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means there is no cost to you unless we recover compensation on your behalf. Contact us now to get started. We are ready to fight for you.
Insurance companies profit when you lose. Every claim they deny, every settlement they lowball, every injured person they convince to accept less—that’s money in their pocket. And they’re very good at what they do.
At Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, we’ve made it our mission to take on the insurance companies that put profits over people. We know every underhanded tactic they’ll use to cheat you out of fair compensation, and we’re prepared to fight fire with fire. When insurance adjusters see us coming, they know they’re in for a real battle. You didn’t ask to be injured.
You didn’t ask to fight a billion-dollar corporation. But now that you’re here, you deserve lawyers who will go to war for you. We don’t settle for less than full compensation, we don’t back down from tough fights, and we don’t let insurance companies bully our clients. PERIOD.
Life following a serious injury can bring intense emotions and pain. Accident victims often hope to get their lives back on track, only to be held back by the demands involved with personal injury claims. This is especially the case for individuals who become hospitalized. Wherever you are in the process, we’d be glad to help.
Our injury lawyers in Wisconsin step up to represent you. At Pemberton, we provide this advocacy at every step in the injury claims process so you can be on your way to feeling like yourself again.

In this car accident case, the client suffered catastrophic injuries in a head-on collision when the at-fault driver crossed the center line. Her injuries included multiple broken bones in the chest, ribs, wrist, and ankle, internal injuries requiring intestinal surgery, and a damaged artery in the spine. With medical expenses exceeding $4,000, we secured the at-fault driver’s full insurance coverage and pursued an additional $1,000,000 from the client’s own insurance policy. We also negotiated a reduction of more than $468,000 in outstanding medical costs to ensure the client received maximum financial recovery for her life-altering injuries and permanent impact on her ability to work.
The client’s loved one suffered a fatal injury in an auto collision that resulted in over $382,000 in medical bills. Acting as the family’s second attorney, we navigated difficult policy-limit issues and secured a $1,000,000 settlement. While the case had greater overall value and the family would have liked a higher recovery, they chose to settle to avoid prolonged litigation and move forward.
