To recover financially from a car accident, you must be able to prove that you were injured, that the other drive was at fault and is responsible for those injuries and there is access to financial recovery through automobile insurance or the other driver's personal assets.

Most damages in car accidents come in the form of compensatory damages, which are meant to compensate you for your injuries and losses. This could include payment for medical expenses, lost wages, and more general damages such as pain and suffering.

If you have been injured in a car accident as the result of another driver's negligence, you can seek compensation from the driver's insurance carrier or the driver's personal assets. Should those sources of recovery be insufficient to cover your car accident damages, you may be able to seek compensation from your own uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance coverage.

There is a statute of limitations in Wisconsin for car accident personal injury claims. You should contact a Wisconsin personal injury attorney as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights.
