Can Prove Negligence
Wisconsin law states a person has been negligent if the proper standard of care is not exercised. Some car accidents may not necessarily be caused by negligence, but a fatal accident due to drunk driving or excessive speeding is very strong evidence that the driver did not exercise proper care.
If your loved one’s death was caused by a negligent party, we will gather necessary evidence through medical documents, police reports, and video or photographic evidence to prove they are responsible for the losses your family incurred.
Our Milwaukee, WI, wrongful death lawyers can help you promptly file your lawsuit to seek justice for your deceased loved one, ensuring you file within the statute of limitations. Wisconsin statute 893.54 states you have a three-year statute to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
