You’re driving home in Green Bay after work or running errands, and suddenly you’re in an accident. You get the report from the police, but it doesn’t point out who’s responsible. What do you do next?
It can be confusing and frustrating, especially if you know the other driver caused the crash.
Even if the report doesn’t assign blame, you can still have a strong case. Our team of experienced Wisconsin car wreck lawyers is here to help you and let you know more about your legal options.
After a car accident, the responding police officer generally prepares an accident report that describes what happened. Sometimes, though, the report doesn’t clearly say who caused the accident. This is known as a “neutral accident report.” It’s common, but it can make it harder for you to get the compensation you need for your injuries or car damage.
For example, say you’re driving through Appleton or Fond du Lac and are hit by another car. The accident report might list the facts but doesn’t mention that the other driver was distracted by their phone. In cases like these, it’s easy to feel stuck, but don’t worry—you still have options.
Even if the accident report doesn’t assign fault or issue citations to the adverse driver, you can still build a strong case with the right evidence. That’s where our team at Natasha Misra Law comes in. We’ll gather other proof—like witness statements, photos, and even body cam footage—to show what really happened.
In Wisconsin, liability in car accidents is determined under the state's modified comparative negligence rule. This means each party involved in the accident is assigned a percentage of fault based on their role in the collision. Generally to recover damages, the injured party must be less than 51% at fault. This rule ensures that only those who are less than half at fault can get compensation for their injuries or losses.
It’s important to act quickly after a car accident, especially when the report is neutral. The longer you wait, the harder it can be to investigate the accident, collect evidence and find witnesses who remember what happened. If you were in a wreck anywhere in Milwaukee, Sheboygan, or Oshkosh, don’t wait to get help.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident and are dealing with a neutral accident report, don’t wait to get legal help from a lawyer who’s not just another suit.
