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.

Torn rotator cuffs are very common and painful injuries that can occur after an impact accident such as a car accident, traffic collision, or slip-and-fall. If you have suffered a rotator cuff injury in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries.
The rotator cuff is the group of tendons, ligaments, and cartilage that surrounds the shoulder joint. Its job is to keep the shoulder steady within the shoulder socket. When one of the tendons is torn from either overuse or injury, a rotator cuff tear occurs.
Torn rotator cuff accidents can happen after any abrupt movement, impact, or fall. They are particularly common in car accidents because the shoulder is very susceptible to impact injuries, based on how a driver typically positions their hands on the steering wheel.
The blunt force of being hit from behind, for example, when your hands are placed on the steering wheel and arms are outstretched, can cause serious shoulder injuries. The impact of a deployed airbag or any other blunt force can also cause a shoulder injury.
Treatment for a torn rotator cuff ranges from the conservative (rest and ice) to invasive (surgery), depending on the severity of the injury. Some common treatments for torn rotator cuffs include:
