Milwaukee Personal Injury Lawsuit Settlements
40+ Warshafsky Law Victories

In Wisconsin, the average car accident case is settled out of court.
Less than 5% of Wisconsin personal injury cases end with a jury trial. Keep this in mind when you read about people injured in an accident. In deciding settlement amount offers, insurance companies value your claim based on the quality of your lawyer. If your case isn’t prepared to go to trial, you get less compensation.

3 Sad Truths About Personal Injury Settlements in Wisconsin

At Warshafsky Law our attorneys have literally written The Trial Handbook for Wisconsin Lawyers. As a result of our Milwaukee personal injury lawyers aggressively preparing every case, from the very first customer contact, to win at trial the firm has achieved life-restoring judgments at an unprecedented level.

1. Insurance Companies Use Data to Minimize Your Settlement Amount

The life’s work of hundreds of career mathematicians is built into your policy limits and terms. When the insurance company calls you, they will sound sympathetic. They will follow their script, telling you over and over again, “We’re sorry this happened” and “We just want to get this taken care of for you right away.”

But the reality of insurance companies is that they are looking out always for their bottom line—not your well-being. Insurance companies have their own software that saves claims history and analyzes claims. They often use data to provide an amount to settle a claim. Data that is not relevant to you, as a person—your experiences and your pain and suffering. You need an advocate for you. Someone who looks out for your best interest, and that is not the insurance company.

2. Sign-and-Settle Lawyers Take a Cut of Your Payout Without Increasing Your Settlement Amount

Sign-and-settle lawyers are simply gathering paperwork to send to the insurance company. Over-the-phone sign-and-settle marketing has been happening for decades. No insurance claim takes only one call. If it does, then you are paying a legal fee unnecessarily. They want you to think getting your case handled fast is in your best interest, which is rarely the case.

3. Insurance Companies Value Your Injury Claim Based on the Quality of Your Lawyer.

Insurance companies know whether your lawyer has a reputation for treating every case as though it will go to trial. Insurance companies are aware of law firms’ reputations for filing suits on claims. Only when an insurer is aware that your attorney will file suit on a claim will an adjuster place a high value on your claim. You need a lawyer who will make decisions on how to handle your case based on how to ensure you are reimbursed for all of your damages, not based on how fast they can get it over with.  Warshafsky attorneys treat every single client’s case as if it will go to trial. This ensures that we are prepared to file suit if the case requires it, and we do not need to start from scratch in order to prepare.

FAQ

Milwaukee Personal Injury Lawsuits Frequently Asked Questions

There is no public or private database of settlement information that could be reliable drawn on to make this conclusion. Insurance companies surely have their own internal resources they use to correlate conclusions like (hypothetically) “a lost pinkie finger on the non-dominant hand of a plumber is worth $100,000 with a sign-and-settle lawyer.” If the opposing law firm prepares cases to go to court, that changes the math.

There’s no average length of time for a settlement to be paid out. Every person or business involved in the accident could have an insurance company that drags out the timeline. There is a statute of limitations for an accident claim IN COURT. In Wisconsin this is 3 years from discovery of the injury. An insurance company might try to delay your settlement to deny themselves of liability. If you or a loved one was injured or killed, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Sometimes settlement amounts are confidential. This could be from a request of the injured person or from the negotiated terms of the entity making the settlement offer.

Your settlement offer could depend on either insurance company. A personal injury lawyer can sometimes uncover hidden sources of liability to get you get the fair settlement you deserve. We fight for your best interests against big insurance companies including State Farm, GEICO, Allstate, American Family, Progressive, Acuity and West Bend.

No. In many cases, these results benefited from the work of our certified accident investigator or our lawyer who is also a medical doctor. We take cases to win, not for the fast minimum settlement. If you have a case, and your immediate finances are an issue, let us know. We can help.
