How to file an uninsured driver claim in Wisconsin
Injury & lost wages over $5000

In a car crash and the at-fault driver is uninsured? You don’t have to pick up the costs. Instead of suing the other driver, who likely does not have the money to pay for your damages, our Milwaukee car accident attorneys help you make a claim with your own insurance company. From general collision to hit-and-run incidents and uninsured motorist injury claims — if we find liability, you will recover. Your financial recovery could come from an insurance company you did not know was liable for your damages.

In an uninsured motorist car accident, it's about finding liability. We can do that.

When people choose their Wisconsin personal injury lawyer based on the endorsement of a football player or actor, they risk choosing an attorney who has never won money in a courtroom. Settlement mills only forward your paperwork and take a cut of your damages.

Hundreds of times, we have prepared cases like yours beyond the brink of trial. Facing unlimited liability AND an expensive jury trial, insurance companies fess up what your case is worth. They HATE when you choose Warshafsky. Insurance companies know: it IS about the money.

Milwaukee car accident lawyers make navigating a claim easier

While the prospect of issuing a claim with your own car or health insurance provider may feel intimidating, the experienced and knowledgeable personal injury attorneys at Warshafsky Law Firm take on the challenge with enthusiasm. Many car insurance policies in Wisconsin include special coverage in the event of an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver. If your injury occurred while on workplace property while using workplace vehicles, or while carrying out duties on the job, you should speak with a workers’ compensation lawyer.

Your Wisconsin Car Insurance Should Cover:

  • Any Medical Expenses
  • Personal Injuries
  • Lost Wages for You & Your Passengers

Different policies include different coverage amounts and limits regarding bodily injury and property damage. Your insurance company will try to use these limitations to give you the least amount of money possible. Whatever the requirements and limitations of your uninsured motorist coverage, Milwaukee car accident lawyers ensure you get the maximum settlement or verdict possible, even if there is no police report.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE UNINSURED MOTORIST IN YOUR CAR ACCIDENT MAY BE IN TROUBLE, BUT YOU’RE NOT.

The State of Wisconsin requires drivers to have uninsured motorist coverage because there are many people who choose to ignore the law and drive without insurance. Imagine not having uninsured motorist coverage and being involved in an accident with someone else who doesn't either. This coverage is not only necessary — it can save you thousands.

While the costs of your injuries will be covered up to a set limit with uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage in a hit-and-run case, any type of damage to the body of your vehicle will not be covered. This is why so many Milwaukee drivers turn to Warshafsky Law Firm for uninsured motorist lawsuit assistance!

When involved in a car accident when the at-fault driver is an uninsured motorist, hiring a legal team to bring your claim to the insurance company is the best option for seeking full coverage for your bodily injuries.

Uninsured drivers have no car insurance whatsoever. Underinsured drivers may have some liability insurance, but it is not enough to cover the damages and injuries caused by the accident. Underinsured motorist coverage will usually cover whatever the underinsured driver’s insurance does not.
