You’re driving cautiously through a snowstorm on your way home from Green Bay, keeping a safe distance and staying under the speed limit. Suddenly, another car loses control on the icy road, slams into your vehicle, and changes your life in an instant. Wisconsin winters can be dangerous, but accidents like these happen all the time, because someone else wasn’t careful.
The team at Natasha Misra Law wants you to be as prepared as possible for any road conditions, and we’re here to fight for you if someone else wasn’t, and injured you in an accident. Let’s take a look at what winter conditions you could face, and how you can best try to stay safe out there in the snow.
Icy Roads: As temperatures drop, moisture on the roads can freeze into a slick, invisible layer of ice. Icy conditions are common across Wisconsin’s highways and residential streets, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Snowstorms and Reduced Visibility: Heavy snow can make it nearly impossible to see other vehicles, road signs, or obstacles. Rural areas like Oshkosh and Fond du Lac can be especially hazardous, with blowing snow creating whiteout conditions.
Black Ice: Black ice is a thin, transparent layer of ice that blends with the pavement, making it almost impossible to detect. It’s especially dangerous on shaded roads or during early morning hours.
Snow-Covered Roads: Packed snow can be as slippery as ice and often hides road markings, making it hard to judge where your lane ends or begins. This is a common issue in cities like Green Bay and Appleton after a heavy snowfall.
Unplowed or Poorly Maintained Roads: Snow and ice are bad enough, but when roads aren’t properly plowed or salted, the danger increases. Wisconsin’s smaller towns and rural highways often face delayed maintenance, making conditions worse.
Winter driving hazards are more than inconvenient—they’re dangerous. Snow, ice, and low visibility significantly increase the likelihood of crashes, and when another driver isn’t as cautious as you are, the consequences can be devastating. Rear-end collisions, multi-car pileups, and sliding accidents happen more often during winter, leading to serious injuries like whiplash, broken bones, and head trauma. If you’ve been hurt because someone else wasn’t careful on Wisconsin’s winter roads, you deserve justice.

You have just learned that your teenage child was involved in a car accident. A million thoughts may be running through your mind. How did the accident happen? Are they injured? Were they at fault?
While these concerns may be quickly addressed once the scene of the accident has been cleared and your child has received medical attention, you may also be wondering what comes next. If your child was injured in an accident through no fault of their own, he or she may be entitled to compensation for their injuries.
The first step is a free consultation with a Milwaukee car accident attorney. During this call, the attorney can review the facts of your teenager’s accident and help you determine whether or not a personal injury case is appropriate.
However, there are several other things you should do as well. In this blog post, we will go over just a few things you can do to help your teenage driver after an accident.
After an accident, your child’s adrenaline may be pumping. They may not have any visible injuries. Still, it is important to seek a medical diagnosis to make sure there are no underlying injuries. Head trauma, deep bruising, whiplash, and even broken bones may not manifest until hours, or even days, after an accident.
A proper medical diagnosis will help document your child’s injuries, but will also provide the basis for their physical recovery. The physician may recommend ongoing treatment, prescribe medication, and schedule follow up appointments. All of this is to ensure your child’s injuries are treated and do not worsen as time goes on.
If your teen calls to tell you they were in an accident, don’t panic. The best way to help them is to call the right people.
After your teen driver has received medical care and the responsibility of speaking with the insurance companies has been given to your attorney, it is time to deal with the aftermath of the accident at home. Make sure that your teen follows the physician’s prescribed treatment plan and goes to all follow up appointments. This will help them in their recovery.
You want the absolute best care for your teenage driver. At Natasha Misra Law, we provide the care, attention, and personalized approach that your child deserves. From the first consultation through the end of representation, we will work with you and your family to help you make a full financial recovery.
