When You're Injured, We Care About More Than Just Repaying Your Medical Bills.

If someone else's negligence caused your injury — whether that's a distracted driver, a property owner who ignored a hazard, or an employer who cut corners on safety — you likely have grounds for a claim. The best way to know for certain is to speak with an attorney. Our initial case review is free, and we'll give you a straight answer about what we see.

In most personal injury cases, Wisconsin gives you three years from the date of injury to file a claim. Wrongful death cases have a two-year window. Once that deadline passes, courts will almost always dismiss your case regardless of how strong it is. If you're unsure how much time you have, call us now — it costs nothing to find out.

Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical costs, how long you've been out of work, and the degree of the other party's fault. There's no honest way to give you a number before we review the facts. What we can tell you is that insurance companies routinely offer less than a case is worth in early negotiations — and that having an experienced attorney changes that dynamic significantly.

Most personal injury cases settle before trial. We negotiate hard on your behalf from the start, and many clients never set foot in a courtroom. That said, we are fully prepared to litigate if the insurance company won't offer a fair amount. The fact that we're willing to go to trial — and have done it successfully — gives us leverage at the negotiating table.

Yes. Janssen Law handles all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win. No retainer, no hourly charges, no upfront costs of any kind. Our fee comes as a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you.

Wisconsin's comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for what happened — as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced proportionally by your share of fault, but partial fault alone does not bar your claim. Don't assume you have no case because the other side is blaming you. Let us evaluate the facts.

It depends on the complexity of your injuries, how cooperative the insurance carrier is, and whether the case goes to trial. Straightforward cases with clear liability can settle in a matter of months. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed fault, or litigation can take a year or more. We keep clients informed throughout the process and move as efficiently as the facts allow.

Get medical attention first — even if you feel fine. Document the scene with photos if you can. Gather contact information from any witnesses. Report the incident to the appropriate party (police, property owner, employer). And before you give a recorded statement to any insurance company, talk to an attorney. Statements made early in the process are often used against claimants later.
