According to the Wisconsin DOT, in 2008 in Wisconsin, there were
587 people killed and 46,637 people injured in motor vehicle
traffic crashes. Of those killed, 10% were pedestrians or
bicyclists and 15% were motorcycle drivers or passengers.
After a car accident, victims face many stressful decisions. These include whether to hire an attorney, who was at fault and how much, how can you pay for your medical bills, will the insurance company pay you a fair amount for your damaged vehicle, does the other driver have insurance, can you get money from your own car insurance company, do you have to pay your medical insurance company back after they cover your bill, can you get punitive damages, will you recover from your injuries, and much more. A personal injury lawyer can help answer these and other questions you may have and may be able to help you recover for your damages including property damage, medical bills, loss of wages, loss of consortium, pain and suffering, and other damages. A personal injury lawyer may also be able to help you get necessary medical treatment from a doctor or surgeon when you do not have health insurance but require surgery. Most importantly, a plaintiff's personal injury lawyer can take control of your case and prevent the driver who injured you and his or her insurance company from contacting you including sending you requests for your medical records within a few days of your injury or tape recording you in an interview in an attempt to keep from having to pay you for your injuries. Note, plaintiff's personal injury lawyer's almost always work for a contingent fee, and most offer a free consultation, so it is a good idea to at least consult with an attorney before deciding to handle your Madison car accident injury case on your own. |
