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.
But here’s the truth: waiting can hurt your case. The car accident attorneys at Natasha Misra Law are here to let you know more about what you should do while the report is being created, and how legal support can make all the difference.

At Natasha Misra Law, we know that when you’re hurt, you deserve to know your rights and get every dollar you’re owed. Our team of skilled personal injury attorneys in Milwaukee is ready to help you, and let you know more about your legal options. So let's break down the types of compensation you might be entitled to.
If you’ve been in a car accident in Wisconsin, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
Medical Expenses: Covers current and future medical costs, including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation related to the accident.
Lost Wages: If your injuries keep you from working, you may be eligible for compensation for lost income, including future earning potential if you’re unable to return to work.
Pain and Suffering: You may receive compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the accident.
Property Damage: Compensation to cover the repair or replacement of your vehicle and any other damaged property.
Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence or intentional harm, the court may award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party and deter future misconduct.
Several factors impact the amount of compensation you may receive:
Severity of Injuries: The extent of your injuries and their impact on your life play a big role in determining your compensation.
Liability: Wisconsin follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced if you’re found partially at fault for the accident.
Insurance Coverage: The at-fault driver’s insurance policy limits will affect the amount of compensation available.
Legal Representation: Having an experienced Wisconsin car accident lawyer by your side ensures that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.
Being in an accident with an unlicensed or uninsured driver can be incredibly stressful. You might wonder if you can still recover compensation. Fortunately, Wisconsin law provides options for victims in these situations.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage: Wisconsin drivers carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage as part of their insurance policies. This can help you recover damages if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance.
Underinsured Motorist Coverage: If the other driver’s insurance isn’t enough to cover your damages, your underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage can step in.
Filing a Lawsuit: You can also file a personal injury lawsuit against the unlicensed or uninsured driver, though collecting from an individual may be difficult without insurance.
Facing the insurance companies, or the other driver in court can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. At Natasha Misra Law, we are committed to helping car accident victims in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Fond du Lac, or anywhere else in WI, fight for the compensation they deserve.
