When you or a loved one is seriously injured in a motor vehicle crash or another type of accident, you are likely to be experiencing a fair amount of stress, pain, and confusion. In this situation, it’s difficult to know where to turn first. However, if another individual was negligent in causing the accident that led to your injuries, you may have a valid personal injury claim against that individual under Wisconsin law. A personal injury claim may allow you to get compensation for your losses, including expenses such as medical bills and property damage. While money may not be the first thing you think of following an accident, once the bills start coming in, you will realize that if someone’s negligence caused your injuries, you should get the compensation that you deserve.
Following your accident, a claims adjuster from the responsible individual’s insurance company is likely to contact you fairly quickly. No matter how nice and caring he or she acts, however, keep in mind that the job of a claims adjustor is to settle your claim as quickly as possible, for as little as possible. The claims adjustor will try to get you a check and your signature on a document that waives all further claims. If you sign this document, you will not be able to get any more compensation through a personal injury lawsuit; you will be limited to whatever money the insurance company already has given you.
The bottom line is that the other party’s insurance company will not be looking out for you and your best interests. In the aftermath of an accident, you may not be thinking quite clearly or able to make important financial decisions. By getting the advice of an experienced Wisconsin personal injury attorney, you can get the advice that you need in this type of situation. We will help you navigate the complex process of filing a formal personal injury claim, negotiating compensation, and filing a lawsuit, if necessary.

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.
