If you’ve been in a car accident in Milwaukee, Appleton, Waukesha, or Oshkosh, you might be wondering: Should I contact an attorney now or wait until the accident report is ready? It’s tempting to hold off, especially when reports often take 7-14 days—or even longer—to finalize.

When it comes to personal injury, no two cases are the same. Every client is different, and the cause and severity of their injuries varies. However, the process of filing a personal injury claim is fairly similar regardless of how an accident occurred. In this blog post, we provide a general overview of the process of filing a personal injury case.
After an accident, the first thing you must do is seek a medical diagnosis for your injuries. The second thing you should do is contact a personal injury attorney. Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations and provide representation on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will not pay any attorney fees unless your case is successful.
During this conversation, the attorney will assess your case by looking at how the accident was caused, the extent of your injuries, and whether or not there is access to financial recovery through insurance. If the attorney believes that you have a case, and you feel as though the attorney would be a good fit for you, then you will have the opportunity to hire that attorney to represent you.
Once you have hired a personal injury attorney, your attorney will begin investigating your accident. Your attorney may, for example, obtain an accident report, collect medical bills, seek witness statements, take photographs of property damage, evaluate your earning capacity, and more.
At Natasha Misra Law, our Milwaukee personal injury attorney work with medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and other professionals to help establish liability for your accident. More importantly, we will keep you informed at each stage of the investigation to ensure all potential sources of recovery are identified and pursued.
Once your personal injury attorney has investigated your accident and assessed the value of your claim, they will send a demand package to your insurer or the insurer of the person responsible for your injuries. This package of materials will include the necessary documentation for the insurance company to evaluate your claim. It includes documents such as medical records, medical bills, permanency reports, photographs, loss of earnings calculations, mileage reimbursement, etc.
The insurance adjuster will review the demand and respond accordingly by extending an offer or at times rejecting the demand. Once an offer is extended, both sides commonly begin negotiations in effort to reach a settlement.
Some attorneys will look for quick, easy settlements. At Natasha Misra Law, we provide a personalized approach to personal injury and will negotiate to get you the compensation you deserve.
If a settlement is not able to be reached after the demand is reviewed by the insurance company, then your personal injury attorney should be ready to file a personal injury lawsuit. At Natasha Misra Law, we will work closely with you to file a lawsuit and fight for your rights to ensure you obtain full compensation for your losses and injuries.
The first step to getting compensation for your injuries is an initial consultation with a Milwaukee personal injury attorney. At Natasha Misra Law, we offer free consultations. Call our office today to speak with an attorney about your case and determine the best next steps.
