Janesville Head-on Collision Attorney
Cars are an important factor in our way of life. Unfortunately, car accidents are also a leading cause of injury in Wisconsin, as well as the rest of the country. If you have been involved in a car accident which results in serious bodily injury, it is important you seek immediate medical attention and that you contact your automobile and health insurers. However, it is also important you speak with a knowledgeable attorney so that you know your rights and what damages you might be able to recover, especially when it comes to insurance issues.

Individual Attention for Car Accident Victims
I firmly believe in providing the individual attention my clients deserve. I understand that this is an emotional time. I want to be there to explain all the options available to help you make informed decisions about the direction of your case.
This includes negotiating on your behalf with your own insurance company to recover on the damage to your car as well as your medical expenses. An insurance company will approach you to settle quickly, but it is always advantageous to get a second opinion from a skilled attorney. We are seasoned negotiators who can help you get the money you deserve.
In a car accident claim, dealing with the motor vehicle insurance legal issues is a significant part of the claim. This can involve:
- Liability insurance: Liability coverage is purchased to protect you and assets in the event you are at fault and injure someone else. I can make sure that you are paying an accurate amount and that the settlement is fair, including if there is contributory negligence because another driver was also partially responsible for the crash.
- Uninsured/underinsured coverage: This type of insurance is used to protect you if you are injured by an uninsured driver, or someone who has low insurance limits that will not cover your expenses related to the crash. I can make sure these claims are paid fully and timely by your insurer.
- Medpay: This is a line of insurance that helps pay for medical expenses regardless of who is at fault. I can negotiate with your insurer to make sure all of your submitted claims for treatment are covered and that your insurance company does not act in bad faith.
I will also negotiate with the negligent driver's insurance company. Even if that motorist is uninsured, you do have rights to seek recovery under your own insurance company or the uninsured motorist's assets. I have also had success recovering punitive damages for our clients who were victims of crashes that resulted from drunk driving.
I do not shy away from a challenge. I will investigate all aspects of any motor vehicle claim to make sure all parties to an action are named. We will research to see if a public entity should be part of your claim if there was a defect in the design of the road or your vehicle that led to or contributed to your injuries.
If you have been hit by a car or other type of vehicle, contact me today to schedule a free consultation. I can also be reached by calling 608-554-4550 or toll free at 1-888-850-4074.
