If you’ve been in a car accident in Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton, Green Bay, or anywhere in Wisconsin, the moments afterward can shape your recovery — physically, emotionally, and financially. When no officer arrives to take an official accident report, you might feel like you’ve lost a key piece of your case. But you still have every right to protect yourself and pursue the compensation you deserve.
At Natasha Misra Law, we’ve built our practice on helping accident victims across Wisconsin through challenges just like this. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options, and handle the details so you can focus on getting back on your feet. Here’s what to do next.
If law enforcement isn’t coming, you need to build the record yourself:
Take photos – Capture vehicle damage, license plates, injuries, debris, and the full accident scene from different angles.
Exchange information – Get names, phone numbers, driver’s license numbers, license plates, and insurance details from everyone involved.
Talk to witnesses – Politely ask for their contact information and a brief statement about what they saw.
Think of this as creating your own “mini report”; it can become vital evidence later.
Wisconsin law says you must file a Driver Report of Crash within 10 days if:
You file this report with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) — not the DMV. You can do it online or request a paper form. It’s the state’s official record of your crash, and it can make or break an insurance claim.
Report the accident to your insurer as soon as you can. Stick to the facts you documented. Don’t admit fault or guess at details — just provide the evidence you’ve gathered.
Not all injuries show up right away. A stiff neck today could be a serious soft tissue injury tomorrow. Seeing a doctor immediately protects your health and ties your injuries directly to the crash in the medical record.
When there’s no police report, insurance companies often push back harder. Having the right lawyer means you’re not fighting alone. At Natasha Misra Law, we:

You have just learned that your teenage child was involved in a car accident. A million thoughts may be running through your mind. How did the accident happen? Are they injured? Were they at fault?
While these concerns may be quickly addressed once the scene of the accident has been cleared and your child has received medical attention, you may also be wondering what comes next. If your child was injured in an accident through no fault of their own, he or she may be entitled to compensation for their injuries.
The first step is a free consultation with a Milwaukee car accident attorney. During this call, the attorney can review the facts of your teenager’s accident and help you determine whether or not a personal injury case is appropriate.
However, there are several other things you should do as well. In this blog post, we will go over just a few things you can do to help your teenage driver after an accident.
After an accident, your child’s adrenaline may be pumping. They may not have any visible injuries. Still, it is important to seek a medical diagnosis to make sure there are no underlying injuries. Head trauma, deep bruising, whiplash, and even broken bones may not manifest until hours, or even days, after an accident.
A proper medical diagnosis will help document your child’s injuries, but will also provide the basis for their physical recovery. The physician may recommend ongoing treatment, prescribe medication, and schedule follow up appointments. All of this is to ensure your child’s injuries are treated and do not worsen as time goes on.
If your teen calls to tell you they were in an accident, don’t panic. The best way to help them is to call the right people.
After your teen driver has received medical care and the responsibility of speaking with the insurance companies has been given to your attorney, it is time to deal with the aftermath of the accident at home. Make sure that your teen follows the physician’s prescribed treatment plan and goes to all follow up appointments. This will help them in their recovery.
You want the absolute best care for your teenage driver. At Natasha Misra Law, we provide the care, attention, and personalized approach that your child deserves. From the first consultation through the end of representation, we will work with you and your family to help you make a full financial recovery.
