Every legal matter deserves thoughtful attention and a clear strategy. Our attorneys work with Milwaukee clients to understand their goals and pursue the best path forward.
Were you hurt in a car wreck, slip and fall, or any other injury in Milwaukee? Wisconsin gives you three years from the date of the injury to file a claim under Wis. Stat. § 893.54(1m). Also, Wisconsin follows a modified comparative fault rule. If an insurer proves you were more than 50% at fault, you may lose your right to compensation. Call Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys for a free case review.
In Wisconsin, the personal injury statute of limitations is three years, as set by Wis. Stat. § 893.54(1m). The clock starts on the date of your injury. If you miss that deadline, the court could dismiss your case, regardless of the evidence.
Wisconsin’s modified comparative fault rule is found in Wis. Stat. § 895.045. Fault in an accident could be split between the parties involved. If your share is 50% or less, your recovery is reduced by that amount. But if an insurer pushes your share of fault above 50%, you may not be able to receive compensation.
Did your accident involve a city vehicle, a Milwaukee County road defect, or any government-owned property? Then a shorter deadline applies. Under Wis. Stat. § 893.80(1)(a), claims against Wisconsin governmental units require written notice filed within 120 days of the injury. This is well before the three-year window closes.
In Wisconsin, a misstep could risk your entire claim. Speak with an attorney before deciding your next move.
Built on the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee is famous for its manufacturing history and world-class lakefront. It’s also a very dangerous city for drivers. According to published crash data, Milwaukee recorded more than 24,376 motor vehicle crashes in 2020. Common accident sites near Milwaukee include Capitol Drive, State Route 59, and Interstate 94.
Capitol Drive, or State Route 190, is one of the deadliest roads in Wisconsin. The road runs through a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational areas. Plus, traffic is heavy at all hours. Throughout the corridor, serious accidents occur at both interchanges and busy intersections.
Running east-west through Milwaukee, State Route 59 is the second deadliest road in Wisconsin. The road intersects with several other busy corridors and feeds into the I-94. Changing between local arterial and highway speeds creates a persistent danger zone for collisions.
Interstate 94 (I-94) runs through Milwaukee. A five-mile stretch between exits 305A and 301B, near the Milwaukee Zoo, has recorded many deaths over the last 20 years. Winter conditions hit this corridor hard. A major ongoing reconstruction project, mixed with high speeds, creates a hotspot for motor vehicle accidents.
Evidence disappears quickly after a crash. Speak with an attorney before you talk to any insurance adjuster. Anything you say to the insurance company may be used against you later.

After an accident, always get medical assistance, even if you feel okay. Some injuries don’t show up for days. Then, you need to document as much of the accident scene as possible. Take photos, write down what happened, and collect the other driver’s information. Most importantly, you should consult with an attorney before speaking with any insurance companies.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of your injury, under Wis. Stat. § 893.54(1m). But if a government vehicle, a road defect, or a public employee was involved, the timeline is much shorter. Under Wis. Stat. § 893.80(1)(a), claims against Wisconsin governmental units require written notice within 120 days of the injury.
Most law firms, including Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you pay nothing unless we win a settlement or verdict in your favor. Plus, your first case review is always free.
It depends on the facts of your case. Wisconsin allows compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical treatment, and other losses tied to the accident. However, Wisconsin caps non-economic damages, like emotional suffering, in medical malpractice cases, but not most general personal injury claims. A free case review is the best way to understand what your case may be worth.
