Personal Injury

There is always a statute of limitations. This would limit the time you have to file a claim after the date the incident took place. In Wisconsin, there is a 3 year statute. 

1. The most important things to do is to make sure you visit your primary care doctor or a health clinic to make sure your injury is treated properly. An important thing to remember is that, if you postpone a doctors visit it can negatively impact your case. 
2. The next step would be for you to contact an attorney to represent your case. If you are to talk about the incident with anyone make sure you get the "ok" from your attorney or to have them be with you. 
3. In order to prove that you were injured and someone is to blame, you must have proper evidence and documentation of the event.

- Take pictures of any injuries. 

- Write down exactly what happened from your narrative. 

- Create a list of potential witnesses along with their contact information. 

- Make sure to be in close contact with your attorney in case they want any other forms of evidence for your case. 

If the defendant is found to be more liable for the incident than you, you are able to receive compensation for those damages.
