How to Prepare for a Successful Personal Injury Case in Wisconsin

The following advice can help enhance your chances of success following a personal injury.

• Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions, which may or may not include taking various medications or restricting your involvement in certain activities.

• Be aware that what you say to others, if found out by the insurance company, can be used against you. DO NOT discuss your case with a claims representative or any other person but a competent attorney.

• Inform your doctor or healthcare provider of all complaints you have regarding injuries and the pain you may be experiencing in great detail.

• Photograph damaged vehicles, accident sites and physical injuries if possible. It is a good idea to take multiple pictures over time including pictures of you wearing any medical appliance, such as a cervical brace, cast, sling, etc.
  
  
• Keep a record of lost wages and time off of work.
  
  
• Keep a daily log of how the injury has affected you. This should include limitations on your lifestyle, physical activities, lost work and any pain and suffering you are experiencing.

Drunk Driving/Wrongful Death

A wrongful death action is a claim against a person, entity, or a company who can be held liable for an individual’s death. When a tragic vehicle accident robs the life of your loved one, there is simply no amount of money that can bring him or her back or relieve the pain and anguish you are suffering. But you are entitled to compensation for funeral expenses and other damages you and your family have incurred as a result of the unexpected death. The elements which must be present to win a wrongful death case are:

1. The death of a human being;
2. death being caused by the negligence of a person or legal entity, and
3. damages to the surviving family as a result of the death.

Attorney Stangl has over 30 years’ experience defending alcohol and drug related traffic offenses in Wisconsin. This experience is an invaluable asset in civil law suits against drunk drivers where injuries and/or death(s) were caused by the drunk driver’s negligence.

Sexual Assault

If you or someone you love has been the victim of a sexual assault or impermissible sexual touching, you may have a claim for psychological and other potential damages.

A battery occurs if a person intentionally causes bodily harm to another without that persons consent or if a person causes offensive contact with another without consent. Contact Attorney Stangl for a free, confidential, no-obligation case consultation.
