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.

Every day, millions of people use rideshare services like Lyft and Uber to get where they need to go. Accidents are inevitable with so many rideshare services on the road, so if you've been involved in a rideshare accident, it's advisable to reach out to an Uber or Lyft accident attorney.
Your Uber or Lyft accident case can take a different turn, depending on the situation. There are specific laws for rideshare drivers and passengers. An Uber or Lyft accident lawyer understands your situation and can help you get the compensation you deserve. Your lawyer will also help you determine the liable party.
Most rideshare accident victims think compensation involves summing up their medical bills and seeking reimbursement from the insurance company. However, if you do this, the value of your losses might be underestimated. Your claim can include more than medical bills. Common damages include:
Your lawyer will help you identify the party at fault and accomplish everything else on your behalf as you focus on healing.
While the rideshare company may seem to have your best interests in mind, they may not be on your side. Rideshare companies and insurers generally focus on keeping these accident settlement costs low. Their representatives can even try to trick you into providing information that can limit your settlement, which is why you need to work with a competent rideshare attorney.
Following these steps after an accident can mean the difference between a successful and unsuccessful outcome:
Determining liability in a rideshare accident depends on the nature of the accident. The at-fault party is responsible for covering all damages.
