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.

A car accident can seriously impact your life - especially when someone else’s negligence is to blame. From the pain of serious injuries to mounting medical bills, it may feel as though you will never fully recover.
There are several important steps you need to take to ensure you are protecting your right to compensation in the wake of a serious car accident. Fortunately, you can hire a personal injury attorney who works with car accident victims who can help you every step of the way.
In this blog post, we will walk through some of the key steps that car accident victims should take in order to recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
The very first step you should take in a car accident in Milwaukee is to call the police - no matter how serious (or seemingly minor) your injuries are.
The responding officer will record the details of the incident and capture them in an official accident report. You will be able to request a copy of this report from the Milwaukee Open Records Office. Once you make the request, the copy will be mailed or emailed to you.
If you are unsure of how to request a car accident report in Milwaukee, your attorney will obtain a copy of the report. The report will contain important information such as the name of the at fault party, insurance information, and the names of any witnesses.
As soon as possible after the accident, be sure to also take photos of the accident scene - including your injuries and the damages to both vehicles. Additionally, speak to any eyewitnesses. Take down their contact information and names in the event you need to speak to them later about their recollection of the accident.
If you are unable to take photos of the damage at the scene of the accident, you should take photos of any damage to the vehicles or injuries shortly after the accident.
Never delay seeking necessary medical treatment after a car accident. Regardless of whether you think you can receive compensation for your car accident injuries, seek any and all treatment that you need. This will allow you to heal physically while creating a record of the injuries you sustained.
If you have questions about medical treatment after a car accident, your attorney should be able to help. At Natasha Misra Law, we make sure that our clients receive the medical care they need to fully recover.
As soon as possible after the accident - and once you’ve received the medical treatment you need - assess the damage to your vehicle. At Natasha Misra Law, we also help our clients with the process of repairing or replacing their vehicle at no additional fee.
No matter how serious your accident, it is recommended that you speak with an experienced Milwaukee car accident attorney. Your attorney will file the necessary insurance claims to seek compensation for your physical, emotional, and financial damages.
Numerous complications can arise when it comes to filing a claim. If the other driver was uninsured, you may choose to file a claim for your own uninsured motorist coverage, but often, insurers will limit the amount owed to you. And when you file a claim against the other driver’s insurance if he was insured, adjusters often limit your damages award as much as possible in order to protect their bottom lines.
A skilled personal injury attorney can investigate the facts of your case, request an accident report, collect your medical records and bills, and present your file in a way that maximizes your settlement amount.
