When you’re injured in a car accident, everything changes in an instant - your health, your finances, and your peace of mind. Whether the crash happened in Appleton, Green Bay, or anywhere else in Northern WI, we want to help. At Natasha Misra Law, we understand what you’re going through and are committed to helping you get back on your feet—physically, emotionally, and financially.
Let’s take a look at something that can become a major roadblock to your recovery, the insurance companies, and how a car accident attorney can help you.
When you’ve been in a car accident, insurance companies may seem helpful at first, but their primary goal is to minimize what they pay out. Here are some common tactics they use to deny or reduce your claim:
Offering a Quick, Lowball Settlement: Insurance companies often push for a quick settlement, offering a sum far lower than what you may actually need. They hope you’ll accept before realizing the full extent of your injuries and financial losses. It may seem tempting, especially if you have medical bills piling up, but accepting this early offer can leave you short on funds later when more expenses arise.
Disputing Liability: Even if it’s clear that the other driver was at fault, insurance companies might still try to argue that you were partially or fully responsible for the accident. In Wisconsin, your compensation can be reduced if you're found partially at fault due to the comparative negligence rule. Their goal is to reduce their liability and, ultimately, your payout.
Downplaying Your Injuries: Insurance adjusters often question the severity of your injuries, suggesting that they aren’t as serious as you claim or that they were pre-existing. They may request access to your medical records, hoping to find something that weakens your claim.
Delaying the Process: By dragging out the claims process, insurers hope you’ll become frustrated and settle for less just to resolve the situation. The longer they wait, the more desperate accident victims can become, leading them to accept a lower offer than they deserve.
Pressuring You to Make Recorded Statements: Insurance companies may ask for a recorded statement soon after the accident, hoping you’ll say something they can use against you later. These statements can be taken out of context and used to downplay the severity of the accident or your injuries.
Understanding these tactics is key to protecting your rights and making sure you receive the compensation you deserve. At Natasha Misra Law, we know how to deal with these insurance company strategies, and we’re here to fight for your best interests every step of the way. Don’t let them push you into a settlement that doesn’t reflect your true losses, let us handle the negotiations for you.

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:
