As winter is definitely upon us, we all should take the time to review safe winter driving tips from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). As the WisDOT “Zero in Wisconsin” initiative reminds us, driving safely in ice and snow is another way that we can reach the goal of zero deaths on Wisconsin roadways. Here are some basic safety tips that you should remember as you hit the roads this winter:
While these tips might seem obvious, they bear repeating, especially through the first few winter storms of the season. Although those of you born in the Wisconsin and other parts of Midwest might be well-accustomed to driving in winter conditions, you should avoid being overconfident in your driving skills, or in driving a 4×4 vehicle. You can’t always see icy patches on roadways, and it only takes small amount of ice to cause a vehicle to swerve or spin out of control. Plus, 4×4 vehicles may actually take longer to stop than regular vehicles, and lose traction just as quickly.
No matter the season, when a vehicle accident occurs as a result of a driver’s negligence, and causes injury to a passenger, driver of another vehicle, or even a pedestrian, the injured individual may have a claim for damages under Wisconsin law. However, there are strict time limits on personal injury claims in the state of Wisconsin, and you can lose your right to compensation if you do not consult an experienced lawyer in time. Don’t delay in contacting the Madison personal injury attorneys of Boller & Vaughan, and set up your free consultation today.

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.
