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.

A car accident can have a significant impact on your life. Depending on the severity of the crash, you may be left with lasting physical injuries and financial hardships. After being involved in a car accident, you should seek the representation of an experienced attorney to get the compensation you deserve.
Seeking medical attention for your injuries should be the first step after being involved in a car accident. You should check for problems with mobility, symptoms of head injuries and excessive bleeding for both yourself and your passengers. You should report any symptoms to dispatch and officers in the event that an ambulance is needed to be called.
Because not all injuries are apparent at the scene of the accident, you should continue to monitor for symptoms. Sometimes the onset of pain occurs 24 or 48 hours after an accident. You should seek the appropriate medical treatment for these injuries as well.
Always call the police after a car accident so they can document the scene, gather evidence, and take statements from the parties involved and also independent witnesses. Also, having law enforcement officers arrive at the scene can help keep things under control and ensure that all parties remain calm, which can help prevent any further incidents from occurring. In addition, they will provide a police report, which is crucial if you need to pursue legal action.
After confirming that no one is critically injured, calling the police, and ensuring that you’re not in immediate danger, you should proceed to gather evidence. Take pictures of any injuries, the surrounding area, and any damage to your vehicle.
You should also collect information from any witnesses who may be willing to testify in your case. Ask them for their contact information, address, and a statement of what they saw. It is also helpful to collect information from the other driver, such as their name, phone number, address, and insurance company name.
When visiting a physician, following treatment instructions and documenting all your medical appointments is important. This is important for a number of reasons, including providing proof of the severity of any injuries suffered in the accident and establishing a timeline for medical treatment.
Documentation can provide an accurate record of treatment for future reference. It can also serve as evidence if you decide to pursue a legal case.
