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.

Suddenly, a massive work vehicle fails to see you and slams into your car. Or, you're in Green Bay, and a commercial truck driver has been driving for hours without rest, and crashes right into you.
When you're injured in an accident involving a commercial or work vehicle, you might be dealing with multiple parties—like the driver, the company that owns the vehicle, or even the vehicle manufacturer. On top of that, these companies are quick to send their own teams to limit their liability. It can all feel overwhelming, but that’s where Natasha Misra Law steps in. We’re here to help you get the compensation you deserve.
After an accident involving a work or commercial vehicle, it’s important to take certain steps right away to protect your case. First, make sure you’re safe and seek necessary medical attention. If possible, you should document the accident by taking photos and gathering witness information. Afterward, contact a lawyer to start building your case before the company starts their own investigation.
Accidents involving commercial or work vehicles aren’t like regular car crashes. Companies are focused on cutting costs and delivering goods or services quickly, sometimes at the expense of safety. Drivers may speed or ignore the rules—all of which increase the chances of a crash.
When you’re in an accident involving a commercial or work vehicle, more than one party could be responsible. The driver, the company that owns the vehicle, and even the vehicle manufacturer might all share the blame. As your lawyer, we’ll investigate every angle to make sure the right parties are held accountable.
Time is key after an accident involving a work or commercial vehicle. Companies often have their own teams of investigators who show up quickly to minimize their liability. By working with an accident lawyer right away, we can make sure evidence like driver logs, maintenance records, dash cam footage and witness statements are preserved.
At Natasha Misra Law, we understand work and commercial vehicle accidents and how deeply they can affect your life. From gathering evidence to dealing with multiple insurance companies, we handle everything so you can focus on healing. You might be eligible for compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
