Green Bay Personal Injury Attorney

Green Bay residents, workers, and visitors suffer accidental injuries every day. But that doesn’t mean those injuries are inevitable.

Wisconsin law entitles Green Bay personal injury victims to take legal action seeking compensation for the harm they suffered through another party’s misconduct.

Your Risk of Accidental Injury in Green Bay

Few people give much thought to the risks they run in their everyday lives of suffering a severe injury in an accident. But that doesn’t mean the risks aren’t there. The truth is, every single day the average Green Bay resident encounters multiple risks that put them in danger of an injury.

Personal injuries happen when you least expect them, and they can throw your health and life into turmoil. Accidental injuries account for nearly 97.9 million emergency room visits each year in the United States. Granted, not all of these accidents happen because of someone else’s misconduct, but many do.

At Nicolet Law Accident & Injury Lawyers in Green Bay, our job is to determine how preventable accidents happened, identify who caused them, and fight to hold those at-fault parties financially accountable to our clients.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

People get hurt in Green Bay in a virtually infinite variety of ways. Any preventable accident or incident that leads to injury can form the basis for a personal injury lawsuit.

At Nicolet Law Accident and Injury Lawyers, we have the skill, know-how, and resources to represent victims of personal injuries no matter how they occur.

Our team routinely represents clients who have suffered injuries in:

• Car accidents—Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injuries in Green Bay and throughout Wisconsin. Vehicle accidents regularly inflict significant injuries to vehicle occupants and bystanders. We represent car accident victims in cases against anyone whose careless or reckless actions led to a crash.
• Truck accidents—Large trucks, including tractor-trailers and construction vehicles, can cause devastation when they crash into a passenger vehicle. Truck crashes commonly result in fatalities. Our team holds truckers, trucking companies, and others accountable for misconduct that leads to catastrophic truck accidents in Green Bay.
• Motorcycle accidents—Green Bay motorcyclists have the same right to use the road as anyone else. In an accident, they also face high risks of serious injuries. We fight to get injured bikers the compensation they deserve from anyone who fails to take their safety seriously.
• Boating accidents—The Fox River and Green Bay play central roles in the Green Bay community. Recreational and commercial boaters must act reasonably to enjoy our water bodies safely. We fight to make sure victims of boating accidents get paid what they need to heal and return to the water.
• Defective products—Consumers have the right to expect that products they use in their daily lives, from cars to kitchen appliances, will function as intended. Defective products can destroy lives when they break, explode, or catch fire. We fight to make sure manufacturers pay for the harm their defective products cause.
• Slip and fall cases—Falls constitute a leading cause of unintentional injury in Green Bay, especially among elderly residents, children, and construction workers. Green Bay property owners must keep their premises free of unreasonable hazards. If they fail in that duty, we fight to make sure they pay anyone injured as a result.
• Dog bites—A dog bite is not always a minor inconvenience or injury. Some victims of dog bites in Green Bay suffer devastating trauma and will carry disfiguring scars for the rest of their lives. We hold dog owners and others accountable under Wisconsin law for the harm their dogs caused innocent victims.
• Workplace accidents/workers’ compensation—Many preventable injuries happen on the job in Green Bay. Workers who suffer work-related injuries and illnesses have rights to workers’ comp benefits and, potentially, to additional compensation from at-fault parties. We fight to get them all the money they need to heal and rebuild.
• Wrongful death—In the worst cases, a preventable accident takes the life of an innocent victim. What that happens, surviving family members may have the right to seek compensation from the at-fault party. Our compassionate team represents those families in seeking justice for a senseless loss.

Negligence: The Most Common Cause of a Personal Injury

The vast majority of personal injuries are preventable. Most of them happen because someone other than the injured victim made unreasonably dangerous decisions, or engaged in unreasonably dangerous actions. Attorneys broadly refer to those unreasonably dangerous decisions and actions as “negligence.”

At Nicolet Law Accident & Injury Lawyers, a significant portion of our time and effort on behalf of a client goes into gathering and presenting evidence to prove that negligence led to our client’s injuries.

In a nutshell, that means we aim to prove that:

• Someone owed our client a duty of care to act reasonably
• That someone violated the duty of care by acting in an unreasonably dangerous manner (or by making an unreasonably dangerous decision)
• Those actions or decisions caused an accident or incident that harmed our client
• Our client suffered damages—both economic and non-economic—as a result.

If that sounds complicated to you, don’t worry. Our team of attorneys and legal professionals has years of experience handling the process of proving negligence and damages on behalf of our clients. We handle the complexities of your personal injury case so that you can focus your energies on healing and rebuilding.

We never treat you as just another claim to process.

Who Might Owe You Damages?

If someone’s negligence or intentional misconduct harmed you, chances are you have the right to receive compensation from them. But that’s often easier said than done. Sometimes, you may not know who harmed you, and sometimes the party you think is at-fault might not be the only party who should pay you for your trouble.

As skilled, experienced personal injury lawyers, we understand that one of our most important jobs in Green Bay personal injury cases is to dig into the facts to identify all parties who may owe damages to our injured clients. We take pride in looking beyond the obvious to uncover unseen misconduct and hidden connections that could make multiple parties legally liable for an injury or illness our client suffered.

For example:

• In motor vehicle accident cases, we examine the conduct of not just the drivers involved, but also employers, automotive manufactures, and government agencies.
• In slip and fall cases, we often determine the potential liability of property owners, tenants, and contractors.
• In workplace injury cases, we fight to get our clients workers’ compensation benefits, and we also investigate to determine if a third party may owe them additional money damages.

You deserve to have attorneys who go the extra mile for you in your Green Bay personal injury case. Nicolet Law Accident & Injury Lawyers is that kind of law firm.

Potential Compensation for a Personal Injury in Green Bay

A personal injury can cause wide-ranging physical, emotional, and financial difficulty. You deserve compensation for all of it. At Nicolet Law Accident & Injury Lawyers, we take a comprehensive approach to analyzing the harm our clients have suffered. We aim to get them the maximum amount of money available under Wisconsin law so that they can pay for their medical care, recover from financial losses, and move forward with their lives with independence and dignity.

Every personal injury case we handle in Green Bay is unique, so we cannot guarantee particular types of results.

But in general, through aggressive litigation and skilled negotiation, our team can often secure money damages for our clients to pay for:

• Current and future medical costs
• Lost income and economic opportunities
• Non-medical out-of-pocket expenses
• Property damage
• Pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life

In some cases, we can also secure an award of punitive damages for our clients, in those cases in which the at-fault party acted maliciously or with a disregard for our client’s rights.

Deadlines for Personal Injury Cases in Green Bay

In Wisconsin, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is, at most, three years, and sometimes as little as a few months. If you do not file a lawsuit or take other legal action for your personal injury before this deadline expires, you will likely lose your right to compensation.

Do not put your potentially valuable rights at risk. The sooner you have a skilled personal injury lawyer on your side, fighting on your behalf, the better your chances of meeting critical deadlines and of obtaining maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.
