Car Accident Lawyers Serving Eau Claire & Beyond

Common Causes of Car Accidents

Car accidents can happen in the blink of an eye, and often they are the result of someone else’s negligence. Common causes of car accidents include:

• Distracted driving (texting, talking on the phone, eating)
• Drunk driving
• Speeding
• Reckless or aggressive driving
• Poor weather conditions and hazardous road conditions
• Driver fatigue

Did another driver’s actions cause your accident? Pemberton’s legal team has experience handling these types of cases. We know what it takes to review all the relevant evidence and get to the heart of the matter.

How Long Do Car Accident Settlements Take?

Car accident settlements typically take anywhere from a few months to a few years. Simple cases with clear liability and minor injuries may settle in a few months, while complex cases involving severe injuries, disputed liability, or litigation can take over a year. Factors like negotiations, medical treatments, and court schedules affect the timeline.

Auto Accident Case Complications: Wisconsin’s Comparative Fault Law

Wisconsin follows a comparative fault system. That means if you are partially at fault for a car accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, as long as you are less than 51% responsible, you can still recover damages.

For example, imagine you are driving through Eau Claire when another driver runs a red light and hits you. However, you were also driving slightly over the speed limit. If the court determines you were 10% at fault, and your total damages are $100,000, your compensation would be reduced by 10%, leaving you with $90,000.

Insurance companies often try to shift blame to minimize payouts. At Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, we push back against unfair fault assignments to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible
