The only objective way to determine whether you have a strong personal injury case or place an estimated level of compensation on your claim is to discuss the matter with an experienced Madison personal injury attorney. He or she will investigate, evaluate, and give you an opinion on your situation. While no attorney can guarantee you a positive income or a certain amount of damages in your case, a personal injury lawyer who has handled many similar claims over the years is a fairly good judge of how these types of cases are handled and how they are likely to be resolved.
Generally, your claim must demonstrate certain characteristics in order to constitute a valid personal injury claim. For instance, you must have suffered an actual injury that is documented in your medical records. Likewise, the other party must have acted negligently, or without reasonable care, in causing the accident that led to your injuries. If there are doubts about a person’s negligence, then you may have a weaker personal injury claim. Finally, you must prove that the accident resulting from the person’s negligence actually caused your injuries, in that there was not another intervening cause that resulted in your injuries. Without evidence of these basic elements, you are not likely to have a strong personal injury case.
Every personal injury case is completely different, and whether or not the claim is potentially successful depends on a wide variety of different factors. The existing evidence of the other party’s fault, the degree to which you may have contributed to the cause of the accident, preexisting injuries or medical conditions, the severity of your injuries, and the duration of your injuries all can alter the outcome of a personal injury case.

We live in Friendship, Wisconsin, and Boller & Vaughan came to our doorstep to discuss our mother’s wrongful death claim on a Saturday morning. Not only were we pleased with the large recovery, we were so thankful to have lawyers who were willing to explain to us every twist and turn along the way. It is great to know there is a law firm that will fight for the rights of elderly people all over Wisconsin.
Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan were incredible in working on my case and my daughter’s case. I was out of work and in the hospital with a new baby. Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan protected our rights and it was a pleasure to work with them. I hope never to be in another motor vehicle accident, however, if I am and I am injured, I will contact Boller & Vaughan immediately.
I was referred to Michelle through a friend. I have never had a better experience. It took a little over a year to get my settlement but the staff there stayed in constant contact and kept me in the loop. Oh, and Michelle actually got me MORE money than we discussed. I will refer anyone to this firm. Words cannot do justice the thanks that I have for Michelle and her staff (Mary especially) thank you guys so much!
After my husband died as a result of a motor vehicle accident, Boller & Vaughan spent countless hours talking with me, meeting with me in person, and making sure that I was okay. The drunk driver who hit us did not have any insurance, and we had to make a claim through our own insurance. Boller & Vaughan was fantastic at explaining the law to me and the handling of our claims.
After my son was injured in a daycare setting, Ms. Vaughan took the time to thoroughly investigate our case and my son’s injuries. Michele was approachable and had answers to our questions. Talking with her helped to relieve many of our anxieties.
