Suddenly, a massive work vehicle fails to see you and slams into your car. Or, you're in Green Bay, and a commercial truck driver has been driving for hours without rest, and crashes right into you. 

When you're injured in an accident involving a commercial or work vehicle, you might be dealing with multiple parties—like the driver, the company that owns the vehicle, or even the vehicle manufacturer. On top of that, these companies are quick to send their own teams to limit their liability. It can all feel overwhelming, but that’s where Natasha Misra Law steps in. We’re here to help you get the compensation you deserve.

What to Do if You’re in a Commercial or Work Vehicle Accident in Wisconsin

After an accident involving a work or commercial vehicle, it’s important to take certain steps right away to protect your case. First, make sure you’re safe and seek necessary medical attention. If possible, you should document the accident by taking photos and gathering witness information. Afterward, contact a lawyer to start building your case before the company starts their own investigation.

Why Commercial and Work Vehicle Accidents Are Different from Other Accidents

Accidents involving commercial or work vehicles aren’t like regular car crashes. Companies are focused on cutting costs and delivering goods or services quickly, sometimes at the expense of safety. Drivers may speed or ignore the rules—all of which increase the chances of a crash. 

Who’s Responsible for a Commercial or Work Vehicle Accident in Wisconsin?

When you’re in an accident involving a commercial or work vehicle, more than one party could be responsible. The driver, the company that owns the vehicle, and even the vehicle manufacturer might all share the blame. As your lawyer, we’ll investigate every angle to make sure the right parties are held accountable.

The Importance of Acting Fast After a Commercial or Work Vehicle Accident

Time is key after an accident involving a work or commercial vehicle. Companies often have their own teams of investigators who show up quickly to minimize their liability. By working with an accident lawyer right away, we can make sure evidence like driver logs, maintenance records, dash cam footage and witness statements are preserved.

You were driving to Appleton and they came out of nowhere. Now your car is ruined, the bills are piling up because you can’t get back to work, and you can barely get out of your chair. 

Someone else’s reckless behavior has deeply affected your life. But how can this person be held responsible for what they’ve caused? 

If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver in Wisconsin, Natasha Misra Law is here to let you know more about how the driver could be held responsible in different court systems. 

The Civil System for Wisconsin Drunk Driving Injuries

The civil system focuses on holding the drunk driver accountable by seeking financial compensation for the damages and injuries you've suffered, while the criminal system deals with punishing the drunk driver for breaking the law.

In the civil system, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the drunk driver to seek compensation for: 

Medical Expenses: You can recover costs related to medical care, including emergency room visits, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and any future medical treatments needed due to the injuries caused by the accident.

Lost Wages: If your injuries have caused you to miss work, you can seek compensation for the income you’ve lost during your recovery. This may also include compensation for any reduction in your earning capacity if your ability to work is permanently affected.

Pain and Suffering: This compensation covers the physical pain and emotional distress you have endured because of the accident and its aftermath, including ongoing discomfort, anxiety, and other forms of mental anguish.

Other Damages: Depending on the details of your case, you may also be able to claim additional damages, such as property damage, loss of enjoyment of life, or punitive damages aimed at punishing the drunk driver for their reckless actions.

A skilled Milwaukee car accident lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

The Criminal System

On the other hand, the criminal system is responsible for holding the drunk driver accountable for their actions. If the driver is charged with operating under the influence (OWI) which is commonly referred to as driving under the influence (DUI), they may face criminal penalties such as fines, license suspension, or even jail time. While the criminal system aims to punish the wrongdoer, the civil system focuses on providing you with the financial relief you need to move forward.
