Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Wisconsin?

Generally 3 years. Under Wis. Stat. s. 893.54(1m)(a), an action for injuries to the person — including injuries from a motor vehicle accident — must be commenced within 3 years or it is barred.

Is the deadline different if someone died in the accident?

Yes, and it is shorter. Where the claim is for a death arising from an accident involving a motor vehicle, the period is 2 years (Wis. Stat. s. 893.54(2m)). Other wrongful death claims fall under the 3-year period (s. 893.54(1m)(b)).

Can I recover if the accident was partly my fault?

Yes, provided your share is not greater than the other party’s. Under Wis. Stat. s. 895.045(1), contributory negligence does not bar recovery if it “was not greater than the negligence of the person against whom recovery is sought,” and damages are reduced in proportion to your share of the fault.

Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?

Be careful about doing so before you have advice. Insurers work to attribute a share of blame to the injured person, because the allocation of fault often affects the outcome more than the headline damages figure.

What does a contingency basis mean?

For many personal injury matters Attorney Vargas works on a contingency basis, meaning you do not pay unless he recovers compensation for you.
