Wisconsin's personal injury statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of injury (Wis. Stat. § 893.54). and the 120-day government notice rule is even shorter. Delay can end a claim before it starts.
Waiting Too Long
Posting on Social Media
Insurers monitor claimants' social media. A single photo can be twisted to suggest you aren't really hurt.
Giving Recorded Statements
Early recorded statements often contain admissions that reduce recovery. Get advice first.
Settling Too Fast
Quick settlements ignore future costs. Once you sign, the claim is closed.
Going It Alone Against Insurers
Represented claimants typically recover more. A free review costs nothing and clarifies your options.
