A hit-and-run accident can leave you feeling shaken, frustrated, and unsure of what to do next. When a driver leaves the scene, they break the law. They also leave victims to handle the emotional, physical, and financial effects alone. At Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, our Wisconsin car accident attorneys can help you face this challenging time as we fight for your compensation.
If you’ve been involved in a hit and run accident in Wisconsin, taking the following steps can protect your rights and strengthen your case:
Hit and run cases are complex. Victims are often left with limited information about the at-fault driver, making it difficult to pursue a claim.
Insurance companies may try to deny or minimize your claim, leaving you to shoulder the costs of medical bills, lost wages, and more. A seasoned hit-and-run attorney can:
Under Wisconsin law, drivers involved in an accident are required to stop, provide assistance, and exchange information. Failing to do so can result in severe criminal penalties, including fines and jail time.
However, these penalties do little to help victims recover from their losses. That’s where a dedicated lawyer comes in. Our car accident attorneys understand Wisconsin’s laws. They know how to navigate the legal system to hold negligent drivers accountable.
In Wisconsin, uninsured motorist (UM) coverage is essential for protecting yourself in the event of a hit-and-run accident. UM coverage is part of your own auto insurance policy and is required by Wisconsin law.
It is designed to compensate you for damages when the at-fault driver cannot be identified or does not have insurance. This type of coverage can help cover:
Our experienced attorneys will review your insurance policy to ensure you’re maximizing the benefits available under your UM coverage. We’ll handle all communications with your insurer to make sure you’re treated fairly and receive the compensation you deserve.

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.

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.
