We are here to investigate what happened and advise you of your rights. If your injuries were the result of another person’s negligence, we are here to represent you in an insurance claim, and if necessary, a personal injury lawsuit.
A very common defense you may go up against in your case is known as comparative negligence. Under Wisconsin law, your right to compensation may be barred or diminished if you were also negligent. The defendant may claim that you were partially or mostly at fault for the accident through your own careless or reckless conduct. If the judge or jury agrees with the defendant, the court will determine each party’s percentage of fault. For example, the jury may find the defendant was 75 percent at fault and you were 25 percent responsible. In this situation, your final compensation will be reduced by 25 percent. If you were awarded $100,000, then you may only receive $75,000.
