If You Went to the ER, You Probably Have a Case

A lot of people wonder whether their injuries are serious enough to call a lawyer. If you went to the emergency room, missed work, or are still dealing with pain weeks after the crash, the answer is almost certainly yes. Wisconsin law allows you to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages — but only if you act before the clock runs out.

 

Wisconsin's statute of limitations for car accident claims is three years from the date of the crash. That sounds like plenty of time, but evidence disappears, witnesses become harder to reach, and insurance companies count on you waiting too long. A free conversation with us costs nothing. A missed claim might cost you everything you were owed.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Green Bay or Northeast Wisconsin

The decisions you make in the hours and days after a crash have a direct impact on your claim. Here is what we tell every client:

 

  • Call 911 and get a police report filed at the scene. In Wisconsin, a crash report is one of the most important pieces of documentation your case will rely on.
  • Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline masks pain. Injuries like whiplash, soft tissue damage, and concussions may not be obvious until hours or days later.
  • Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. Adjusters are trained to ask questions in ways that minimize your payout. Once you hire us, we handle all communication with the insurance carriers so you don't have to.
  • Document everything you can: photos of the vehicles, the scene, your injuries, and any property damage.
  • Contact Janssen Law before you sign anything or accept any settlement offer.

Car Accident FAQ

  • What is Wisconsin's fault rule for car accidents?

    Wisconsin follows a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the crash. If you share some fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Insurance companies routinely try to inflate your share of fault to reduce what they owe — which is why it matters to have an attorney reviewing your claim before you talk to adjusters.
  • How are my medical bills paid while my car accident claim is in process?

    Depending on your situation, your health insurance, your auto policy's MedPay coverage, or a medical lien arrangement may cover your treatment costs while the claim is pending. We help clients understand their options at the start of every case so that unpaid bills don't force a premature settlement.
  • What damages can I recover after a car accident in Wisconsin?

    Wisconsin law allows injured drivers to seek compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and in some cases, punitive damages when the other driver's conduct was especially reckless. The full value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, and the insurance coverage available.
  • How long does a car accident settlement take in Wisconsin?

    Most car accident claims in Wisconsin resolve within several months to a year, though cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or uncooperative insurers can take longer. We keep clients informed throughout the process and do not push for quick settlements that undervalue your claim just to close the file.
  • What should I do after a car accident in Green Bay, Wisconsin?

    Call 911, get medical attention, and do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Document the scene if you are able, and contact Janssen Law as soon as possible. The earlier we get involved, the better positioned your claim will be. We offer a free case review with no obligation, and you can meet with an attorney in person within 24 hours of reaching out.
