How can Levine Law help my motor vehicle accident case?

What's Included in Our Car Accident Representation
Full Case Investigation
We gather police reports, witness statements, medical documentation, and accident reconstruction data to build the strongest argument possible. This thorough approach helps reveal liability and maximize compensation.
Handling the Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters often minimize claims or attempt quick, low settlements. We negotiate directly on your behalf and ensure your injuries, treatment needs, and financial losses are fully accounted for.
Understanding Wisconsin's Comparative Negligence Law
Wisconsin allows injured people to recover damages even if they are partially at fault - as long as they are not more responsible than the other driver. We help explain how this rule may affect your case and compensation.
Common Injuries We See
Whiplash, concussions, herniated discs, fractures, and soft-tissue injuries are common after crashes. We coordinate with your medical providers to properly document the extent and long-term impact of your injuries.
Experienced Trial Advocacy
If negotiations fail, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. As experienced litigators, we bring trial-tested strategy to every stage of the process.
What to Expect When You Work With Us
You can expect direct access to your attorney, consistent communication, and a detailed roadmap of your case from day one. We explain every step clearly and prepare you for what comes next. Our team handles the legal burden so you can focus on medical care and recovery. From investigation to negotiation and, if necessary, litigation, we stand by your side throughout the process.

Common Questions About Car Accident Claims

In many cases, yes. Even when liability seems clear, insurers often dispute injuries or try to reduce payouts. An attorney protects your interests and ensures all damages - medical, financial, and long-term - are included.
What is the process for an auto accident claim in Wisconsin?
Most claims involve investigation, documenting medical treatment, negotiating with insurers, and filing suit if necessary. Wisconsin's comparative negligence law also plays a key role in determining compensation.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Wisconsin generally allows three years for personal injury claims, but exceptions may shorten this timeline. Early legal guidance is crucial to preserve evidence.
What compensation can I recover?
Depending on the case, damages may include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, vehicle damage, and future treatment needs.
What if the other driver is uninsured?
We pursue compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and explore other avenues of recovery.
