Wisconsin Personal Injury Claims Process

The personal injury claim process in Wisconsin begins with filing a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance provider. Notify the insurer promptly, providing details of the accident and injuries sustained. You should also collect evidence such as police reports, medical records, and witness statements to support your claim. Know that Wisconsin follows a comparative negligence rule. That means you will see a reduction in overall compensation if you are partly at fault. You cannot recover damages if your fault exceeds 50%. Negotiation with the insurance company is the next step. Insurers may offer a settlement based on the extent of injuries and damages. If you do not reach a settlement with the insurance company, your lawyer may suggest filing a lawsuit. If the case goes to court, it involves discovery, potential mediation, and, if unresolved, a trial. Legal representation can help navigate this complex process.
