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.

After a bike crash, you can face significant damages that are hard to overcome. If you were hit by a car on your bike, the car driver could be held accountable for their negligence. To receive compensation for your injuries and damages, you will need to pursue legal action against the at-fault driver's insurer. The insurance company's adjuster will then examine your claim.
Since insurance adjusters aim to protect their insurance companies' interests, they will always strive to reduce your compensation amount. Because of this, you're going to want the help of a Milwaukee bike accident lawyer to represent you and calculate the actual amount of your claim.
Under Wisconsin law, you are entitled to recover a monetary settlement for your injuries and damages after a bike accident. These could include:
If you suffered severe injuries that required medical treatment or emergency services, you might recover those medical expenses from the negligent party that caused the accident. These costs will cover past and future medical bills for:
Pain and suffering damages refer to the physical and emotional trauma you suffered following a bike accident. You may develop anxiety which makes you fearful of riding your bike or even makes it hard for you to participate in social situations, leading to missing work or other social activities. Be sure to document these types of damages because they are recoverable.
Serious bike injuries can leave you injured to the point where you cannot earn income because you couldn't perform your job or you were at the doctor's office. In this case, you can seek compensation that covers what you would have been paid if you had been able to go to work.
You can recover compensation for personal property that was damaged following your crash. For instance, if your bike, cell phone, helmet, or smartwatch was destroyed in the accident, you can recover those damages.
If you have been injured in a Milwaukee bike accident, hiring a Milwaukee bike accident attorney could be a good place to start.
