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.

After a car accident, it's important that your car gets stored safely while you wait for an insurance appraiser or auto body shop to take a look at it. Your vehicle may be driven away from the scene after a minor accident, but towing could be necessary for a more severe crash.
A car accident attorney can help you navigate the process of towing your car to your preferred destination. They can also help you file an insurance claim, identify who is responsible for the towing costs, and pursue the compensation you deserve.

If your car is taken to a tow lot, it is important to note that it can indeed accrue storage costs, which usually means that the tow lot is charging a daily amount for the vehicle being stored at that location. In most cases, as the vehicle owner, you are responsible for arranging and covering the towing and storage expenses. However, if you were not at fault for the accident, the party responsible for the collision would be liable for the storage fees and towing costs.
At Natasha Misra Law, we understand the challenges you may face when dealing with a tow lot. Our dedicated team will guide you through the necessary steps to recover your car from the tow yard. We will provide the assistance and support you need to navigate this process effectively.
