If you were injured in a car accident in Madison, a car accident lawyer can investigate the collision, determine potential liability, collect evidence, and negotiate with insurance companies. Cases may involve rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, distracted driving, speeding, impaired drivers, or accidents caused by hazardous road conditions. Important evidence can include police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, vehicle damage, and medical records. Wisconsin generally allows three years to file car accident injury lawsuits, while wrongful death claims arising from motor vehicle accidents generally have a two-year deadline. Under Wisconsin's modified comparative negligence law, your share of fault may reduce or prevent compensation.
