Injured on someone else's property because it wasn't cared for properly? You have a right to compensation.
When you are injured on another person’s property due to negligent or improper care and maintenance, you have a right to compensation for your injuries. These cases can be complicated, and you need a trial lawyer to help you figure out what to do next.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and in property accident cases it can be worth far more. Photographs of the unsafe condition are an absolute necessity in slip and falls, trip and falls, ceiling collapses, porch and deck accidents, construction accidents, and more. If you are able, take photos immediately, because property owners often fix the problem quickly once a claim is presented. If you can’t, have someone take photos as soon as possible afterward.
It is very important to get the names and contact information of anyone who saw the injury happen, or who witnessed the unsafe condition. We thoroughly investigate the accident and obtain the written or recorded statements needed to support your claim.
It is important to know exactly which legal entity owns the property. If a governmental body owns it (a city, county, state, or public employee), a Notice of Claim must be filed within 120 days of your injury. If your injury occurred at a public facility that employs staff, such as a store, restaurant, or hotel, you may have an additional claim under Wisconsin’s Safe Place Statute.
The claims process is a matter of properly documenting injury and financial loss. Medical records help, but are usually not enough. We know what proof your claim will require. Every insurance company knows its rights and how to challenge your claim, and the aggressive, experienced representation you receive from Attorney Zarzynski puts you at an advantage. Coordinating your health insurance with liability insurance can be confusing, and your health insurer may have a right to reimbursement. Our staff handles that communication for you. All injury claims are handled on a contingency fee basis, without any advance costs to you.
