About Us

Wausau Personal Injury Lawyer

Accidents happen all the time, and they are often outside of our control. If an accident does cause a serious injury, state laws hold the guilty person responsible for their careless behavior.

If you were involved in an unexpected accident and were seriously injured, you deserve compensation to recover from your suffering. You have a limited time to submit a claim, but a Wausau personal injury lawyer can outline your options and help you seek justice.

When Can You Make a Personal Injury Claim?

Most accidents that injure people can be resolved through a personal injury claim. Deciding whether filing a claim is worth your time depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and the details of the accident.

Personal injury claims are an option after many kinds of accidents, including but not limited to:

Car, truck, or tractor crashes
Slips, trips, and falls in public places
Abuse in nursing homes
Injuries caused by defective products
Dog causing an injury or biting
Accidents in the workplace

A well-practiced lawyer in Wausau could help you determine whether a personal injury claim is the best option for your unique situation.

Auto accidents can cause a number of serious injuries and property damage making an attorney important.

The sudden death of a loved one caused by the negligence of another can be devastating and leave you feeling vulnerable. Now is when you need our Wisconsin law firm most.

Slip-and-fall accidents can be debilitating and impede your ability to work and provide for your family. Insurance companies often take the position that a slip or trip was mostly the fault of the injured person and either deny the claim or offer to pay only a small portion of the medical bills.

Motorcycle accidents can be devastating to the driver and passengers, requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation that can affect your livelihood.

Car and truck drivers don’t always see you, but if you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, we’re the personal injury attorneys you want to see.

At Bremer & Trollop, our nursing home negligence attorneys help family members recognize signs of nursing home abuse and neglect, and discuss appropriate actions.

If you had a hip implant after July 2003 and received an ASR™ XL Acetabular System or DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System, your hip implant may be subject to recall.

Injuries involving animal attacks can be substantial — a dog bite can lead to extensive medical care and plastic surgery. Disfiguring scars, fear and pain are common side effects of dog bites.

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, contact our Wisconsin mesothelioma law firm to determine what legal options you have to receive help with medical bills and other asbestos-related expenses.

Product liability laws help protect consumers injured due to dangerous or defective products such as toys, automobiles, lawn equipment or food.

Farm accidents can be grave or fatal, seriously affecting your livelihood. Insurance companies devote considerable resources to fighting claims that can result from farming accidents.

By law your employer must cover your medical expenses and lost wages resulting from injuries received while on the job. But workers' compensation claims are often fought by insurers.

Proving that Someone Else’s Carelessness Caused an Accident

Establishing that a defendant acted negligently is key to the success of your personal injury case. From a legal standpoint, negligence refers to a failure to exercise due care.

There are many situations where you might owe someone else a duty of care. For example, if you are driving a car on a public road, you must watch out for other motorists, pedestrians, or bicyclists.

To prove that someone else acted carelessly and caused your injury, you need to demonstrate that:

The defendant had a duty to the plaintiff
The defendant breached the duty
The breach directly caused the accident that wounded the plaintiff
The plaintiff suffered an actual, documentable injury

A hardworking attorney in Wausau could strengthen your personal injury claim by helping show that a defendant hurt you by failing to exercise due care.

What Damages do People Collect in Personal Injury Cases?

Compensation in personal injury cases aims to award people money for the harm they experienced due to a defendant’s carelessness. Common issues covered by monetary damages include medical expenses, lost time at work, and appointments with a doctor. Financial compensation could also provide payments for more subjective factors like emotional distress, physical pain, scarring, disability, or reduced enjoyment of daily life.

In some instances, you might also become entitled to collect punitive damages, which are additional payments that intend to punish a defendant for extremely reckless behavior. For instance, if a motorist drove their car while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and hit you, punitive damages might apply.

Meanwhile, you might collect less compensation if you are partially responsible for your own injuries. For instance, Wisconsin Statute §895.045 states that you need to pay damages equal to the level of blame you face for an accident.

A diligent attorney in Wausau could help you determine the extent of financial compensation you deserve in your personal injury case or fight against someone who claims you are partially to blame.
