Car Crash on Major Highway — De Pere, WI — One Law Group S.C

An unexpected injury can upend a person’s life. There could be medical treatments, hospitalizations or long-term rehabilitation stays. There could be issues in dealing with insurance companies and medical providers. There could be loss of time from work or school, losing out on important income or professional opportunities. And, on top of all this, there could be the difficulty of managing day-to-day pain as the injured struggles to recover and get back to “normal.”

The physical, emotional, and financial strain from an injury caused by someone else’s recklessness or negligence can overwhelm even the strongest person and their family. They need help - experienced, steady, tough help - to recover just compensation from whoever did the harm.

Burn Injuries and Electrocution - Burn injuries are among the most painful injuries one can experience. Burns cause damage to the nerves, resulting in intense levels of pain. Burns can cause a host of other health problems like permanent damage to muscles, tissues, nerves, respiratory system, and bones.

Thousands of burn injuries are reported each year. Many of these injuries are preventable but happen due to the negligence practices of businesses and individuals. Many burns are caused by contact with fire. Other burns include the following: acid burns, chemical burns, thermal burns, electrical burns, burns caused by explosions, car accidents, etc.

Electrocution can cause death by electric shock. Our attorneys have represented the families of victims who were electrocuted as a result of the following: defective equipment, failure of power company to maintain power line and failure of a company to meet or follow safety guidelines.

Construction Site Accidents - Construction areas are inherently dangerous. Increasingly, federal and state regulations require property owners, contractors, and others involved in development ensure a safe workplace for employees as well as safe place for bystanders near a construction site. When an employee is injured in a construction site accident, the consequences can be severe. A fall, electrocution or tool malfunction can result in serious injuries, impairment, paralysis or death.

If you or a loved one has been injured, it is critical to identify the dog and the owner as soon as possible. You should seek medical attention immediately, including rabies shots if necessary.

Head, Neck, and Spine Injury - Of all the injuries a person can sustain in a car or workplace accident, those involving the brain, neck and spine cause the most frustration and anguish for victims and their families. Broken bones eventually heal, but paralysis or brain damage is rarely temporary.

Products Liability - Consumers expect the products they use to be safe. Unfortunately, thousands of individuals suffer from the effects of defective products each year.

Recreational Vehicle Accidents - You may have been involved in a serious injury while participating in a recreational activity such as ATV riding, snowmobiling, or four-wheeling. Injuries resulting from recreational activities can be severe because they take place on dangerous terrain where passengers may be unprotected, leading to catastrophic injuries or even death. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury resulting from a recreational vehicle accident, One Law Group, S.C. can assist you in recovering the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Many serious injuries result from accidents that occur on or near a body of water. You may have been involved in a boating or jet-ski accident that resulted in a drowning or other catastrophic injury. These accidents may be alcohol related and should lead to significant compensation for the victims and their families. If you or a loved one was involved in a water-related recreational accident, our attorneys can assist you in maximizing your recovery. We have successfully assisted clients who were involved in accidents on many lakes, including Lake Winnebago, Fox River, Wolf River, Bay of Green Bay, Lake Michigan, and on the Chain-O-Lakes.

Serious Injuries - There are many repercussions of a serious injury - accident victims can suffer physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. Even worse, these effects may last a lifetime. Serious injuries can cause permanent damage and change lives forever. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an accident contact One Law Group, S.C.to schedule a free consultation.

No matter what the cause of the accident, we do a thorough investigation immediately upon taking a case. We frequently work with accident reconstructionists and other field experts to make solid and compelling cases. Crafting the best defense possible is our number one priority.

Just as the causes of serious injuries are diverse, so are the types of injuries resulting from these accidents. In the past, we have handled cases resulting in the following injuries, broken bones, loss of limbs, coma, head injuries and brain damage, whiplash, spinal cord, paralysis and back injuries, eye injuries and wrongful death.

Trucking Accidents - Wisconsin roadways are becoming more congested due to an increase in population and commerce. In addition to a rise in the number of passenger vehicles, more semi-trucks and other commercial delivery automobiles are joining the daily commute. Unfortunately, with this increase in 18-wheeler trucks comes an increase in the number of trucking accidents.

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorists - Thousands of vehicle accidents happen each year on Wisconsin's roads, and many of these involve under or uninsured motorists. While an underinsured driver does not have enough insurance to cover damages, an uninsured motorist has no auto insurance whatsoever.

Wisconsin auto insurance policies must contain coverage for uninsured motorists. This coverage is meant to protect insured drivers in the event of being involved in an accident with an uninsured driver.

Underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy can be used to pay for some or all of the remaining cost.

When an accident happens, an individual may be prompted to accept the first settlement offered by an insurance company. Unfortunately, insurance companies often avoid paying out the full benefit of an un- or underinsured motorist insurance plan. Many times, those insured are left without adequate compensation to cover the cost of their damages.

It is critical to work with an experienced attorney who understands Wisconsin's laws concerning drivers with little or no insurance in order to seek the maximum amount offered by an insurance plan.

Workplace Accidents - A workplace accident could leave you or a loved one with serious, life-altering injuries. There are numerous situations in which the injured can have both a worker’s compensation claim and a personal injury claim arising out of the same accident. At One Law Group, S.C. we can help you through the process of a workplace accident and secure just compensation and long-term security.

Wrongful death - If a loved one has died as the result of negligence you may be entitled to compensation. However difficult it may be to discuss this matter it is important you learn your rights and you may be entitled to receive compensation. If you believe the loss of a loved one is due to negligence contact One Law Group, S.C. for a free consultation. We will review your case and explain how we can help you.
