PKSD Accident and Injury Lawyers represents people injured in accidents throughout Green Bay and across Wisconsin. Our firm focuses exclusively on personal injury law, with nine trial attorneys, over 150 years of combined legal experience, and more than $500 million recovered for our clients. When an injury costs you work, health, and stability, who represents you directly affects what you recover.
A skilled Green Bay personal injury lawyer from our firm handles automobile accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle collisions, nursing home neglect, dog bites, slip-and-fall incidents, and more. We serve clients throughout Brown County and northeastern Wisconsin, travel to meet you wherever is most convenient, and never charge a fee unless we win your case.
Going up against an insurance company without a lawyer means facing a system built to pay you as little as possible. Insurance companies assign adjusters and defense attorneys to your claim from day one, and their only goal is to close your file cheaply. Without an experienced advocate, accepting a lowball offer becomes far too easy, even when your injuries demand far greater compensation. Many Green Bay accident victims receive far less than they deserve simply because they faced the claims process alone, unaware of the full compensation available to them under Wisconsin law.
PKSD Accident and Injury Lawyers changes that dynamic. Our attorneys investigate every detail of your accident, document all losses, and push insurance companies toward a fair number. When they refuse to offer fair value, we bring cases to trial. Nine trial attorneys, a network of former law enforcement investigators, and access to medical and accident reconstruction professionals give us the tools to take on even the most contested claims.
What you do in the hours and days after an accident can make or break your personal injury claim. Getting medical attention right away protects your health and creates the documentation needed to connect your injuries to the accident. Even seemingly minor symptoms, such as headaches or stiffness, can signal serious underlying trauma.
Wisconsin law sets strict deadlines for filing a personal injury claim. Under Wis. Stat. § 893.54, most personal injury claims carry a three-year deadline from the date of the injury for filing a lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations. Wrongful death cases involving motor vehicle accidents follow a separate, two year statute of limitations. Missing this deadline forfeits the right to compensation entirely, making early legal consultation essential.
Evidence disappears quickly after an accident. These steps help protect what you have. Our attorneys recommend the following immediately after any accident in Green Bay:
Each step keeps critical evidence from disappearing and gives our attorneys more to work with when building your case.
Wisconsin follows a fault-sharing rule called modified comparative negligence when courts and insurance companies assess responsibility in personal injury cases. Under Wis. Stat. § 895.045, an injured party may recover damages as long as their share of fault does not exceed the defendant’s share. Fault is measured separately against each defendant, not combined into one number across all parties. Any percentage of fault assigned to the injured party reduces their final damages award by the same proportion.
For example, a jury awards $200,000 in damages and determines the injured party bore 20% responsibility for the accident. The recoverable amount drops to $160,000. The statute also distinguishes between defendants: a defendant found less than 51% at fault pays only their proportional share, while a defendant found 51% or more at fault becomes jointly and severally liable, meaning they can be held responsible for the entire damages award. Insurance companies routinely exploit the comparative negligence rule, pushing to inflate a victim’s perceived fault and reduce their own settlement obligations.
PKSD Accident and Injury Lawyers counters this strategy through a thorough liability investigation. Our team reconstructs accident scenes, reviews traffic and surveillance footage, consults medical professionals, and pushes back hard when insurance companies try to pin fault on our clients. Your right to be treated fairly often depends on a Green Bay personal injury lawyer who knows how insurers operate.
I started my career defending insurance companies, but quickly realized my heart was in helping real people – not corporations. Now, I’m proud to fight for the little guy every day.
No two personal injury claims land at the same number, and anyone who quotes a value before knowing your case is guessing. Factors a Green Bay personal injury lawyer will evaluate include the severity of the injuries, the cost of medical treatment, the impact on your ability to earn a living, and how much pain and suffering you experienced.
Wisconsin law allows injured victims to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. Economic damages cover measurable financial harm, including medical bills, future treatment costs, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages address intangible harm such as physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
PKSD Accident and Injury Lawyers has secured notable results, including an $11,000,000 wrongful death verdict, a $2,150,000 pedestrian accident settlement, and a $970,000 dog bite recovery. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes, but those numbers reflect what happens when a firm refuses to settle for less.
Some injuries heal in weeks. Others change a person’s life permanently. Our firm regularly represents Green Bay clients who have sustained:
Catastrophic injuries require compensation addressing lifelong medical care, adaptive equipment, and a reduced ability to earn income. PKSD Accident and Injury Lawyers works with medical professionals and life care planners to build a full picture of what a client has lost and what their recovery will cost long term.
While Wisconsin law does not require legal representation, retaining an experienced personal injury attorney significantly increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome. Insurance companies employ experienced legal professionals to protect their financial interests. Claimants without representation often receive settlements far below the actual value of their injuries. PKSD Accident and Injury Lawyers works on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless our team wins their case, removing the financial barrier to hiring a Green Bay personal injury lawyer.
Most cases settle before trial, but the timeline depends on how contested the fault question is, how severe the injuries are, and whether the insurance company negotiates in good faith. Straightforward claims often resolve within 12 months. Cases involving disputed liability, multiple parties, or catastrophic injuries may extend beyond two years. Our attorneys keep clients informed at every stage and move cases forward without cutting corners.
Getting the proper legal counsel might be the difference between a successful claim and a disappointing settlement.
