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.

When a truck jackknifes, it is a dangerous situation where the truck's cab and trailer lose alignment, resulting in a severe angular deviation between the two sections. This misalignment resembles the folding motion of a closing jackknife, hence the term.

The primary cause of a truck jackknife is the loss of traction between the trailer's wheels and the road surface. When this occurs, the trailer can swing outward from the truck's cab, often reaching a 90-degree angle or more. This results in the trailer being out of control, potentially swinging across multiple lanes or even completely turning around.
Several factors can contribute to a truck jackknifing:
A jackknife incident is highly dangerous, often resulting in severe accidents, injuries, fatalities, and significant damage to property. The truck becomes nearly impossible to control, posing a serious threat to other vehicles, pedestrians, and nearby structures.
Understanding the causes and implications of a truck jackknife is essential for both prevention and legal recourse. By promoting safe driving practices, emphasizing proper maintenance, and advocating for improved regulations within the trucking industry, we can work towards reducing the occurrence of these hazardous accidents and ensuring accountability when they do occur.
