If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Janesville, you’re not alone. Whether the crash happened on Milton Avenue, near I-90, or on a quiet residential street, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Medical bills, lost wages, and dealing with insurance companies can add stress to an already difficult situation.
At Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, our experienced car accident attorneys are here to help you navigate the legal process and fight for your right to compensation.
Wisconsin law requires that you report a car accident if it results in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000. Failing to report such an accident can lead to penalties, including suspension of your driver’s license.
Additionally, Wisconsin follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule. This means that if you’re partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you’re found to be more than 50% at fault, you may not be eligible to recover any damages.
It’s also important to note that Wisconsin has a statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim. You have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for personal injury or property damage. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to seek compensation.
Our dedicated team at Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm is committed to assisting Janesville residents who have been injured in car accidents. We offer comprehensive legal support, including:
Car accidents in Janesville can happen for many reasons, but some causes are more common than others. Distracted driving—like texting or using a GPS—leads to many crashes in the area. Speeding, reckless driving, and failing to obey traffic signs are also frequent causes, especially near busy roads like Highway 14 or I-90.
In winter, icy or snow-covered roads can make driving conditions especially dangerous. No matter the cause, a car accident attorney can help determine who is at fault and hold the responsible party accountable.

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.

Life following a serious injury can bring intense emotions and pain.
