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.

Commercial trucks are large and weigh much more than passenger vehicles. This makes them less stable, increasing their risk of rollover accidents. Truck rollovers can be some of the worst truck accidents on Wisconsin roadways, and those involved can suffer serious to fatal injuries. Even though trucks aren't as easy to maneuver as passenger vehicles, it's important to note that rollover accidents are also caused by the negligence of passenger vehicles. Quick maneuvers and failing to stay out of a truck's blind spots are ways that everyday drivers lend a hand in a rollover accident.
There are many potential causes of truck rollovers, including:
While truck drivers have sufficient protection in their trucks, truck crashes can cause serious injuries to bystanders, motorists, passenger vehicles, and other truckers. This is because of their large size and weight, which creates a massive impact during the rollover. The most common truck rollover injuries include:
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a Wisconsin truck rollover crash, you can file a claim against the truck driver or other responsible party to recover compensation for your damages and injuries.
