You’ve been injured in a car accident in Milwaukee. The bills are piling up. You’re missing time at work. And now the insurance company wants to talk about a settlement.

But how do you know what’s fair? Should you accept their offer? And who’s really looking out for your best interest?

At Natasha Misra Law, we understand how confusing and stressful settlement negotiations can be — especially when you’re recovering from an injury. Our team is here to help you make smart decisions, protect your rights, and secure the compensation you truly deserve.

What Is a Settlement, and How Do Settlement Negotiations Work in Wisconsin Car Accident Claims?

A settlement is an agreement between you and the at-fault driver’s insurance company to resolve your claim without going to court. In most cases, it’s how car accident cases in Wisconsin are resolved.

But just because a settlement avoids trial doesn’t mean it’s simple — or fair. Insurance companies are trained to protect their bottom line, not your recovery. That’s why having a lawyer who knows the process can make all the difference.

Why Legal Representation Matters

You don’t have to take on the insurance company alone.

When you work with Natasha Misra Law, we handle every part of the negotiation process for you — from gathering medical records and building your claim to pushing back on low offers and demanding what you’re truly owed.

We’ve helped clients across Milwaukee and Wisconsin navigate the insurance process and recover the compensation they need to move forward. We’ll do the same for you.

What Factors Affect Your Settlement Amount

Every case is different, but here are some of the biggest factors that influence the value of your car accident settlement in Wisconsin:

Who Was at Fault: Liability plays a key role. If the other driver was clearly negligent, you may be entitled to more.

Your Injuries: The more serious your injuries — and the longer your recovery — the more compensation you may need.

Medical Costs: This includes hospital bills, ongoing treatment, physical therapy, and projected future care.

Lost Income: If you missed work or can no longer do your job the same way, that loss should be reflected in your settlement.

Pain and Suffering: Emotional distress, physical pain, and loss of enjoyment of life can and should be part of your compensation.

How Natasha Misra Law Approaches Settlement Negotiations

We don’t just accept the first offer — and we don’t let the insurance company decide what your recovery is worth. Here’s what we do:

  • Review your medical records and treatment history
  • Collect witness statements, photos, and police reports
  • Work with experts to estimate future medical needs and lost earning capacity
  • Prepare a demand that reflects the full impact of the accident on your life
  • Negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf — with your best interest as our top priority

Our job is to help you get back on your feet — physically, emotionally, and financially — and we take that job seriously.

Car accidents can result in serious injuries and even death. Even without broken bones or internal injuries, less severe injuries like cuts and lacerations can leave accident victims with permanent scars. If you experience scrapes or cuts in a car accident and need stitches, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Here is a brief overview of what to expect if you are injured in a car accident and require stitches.

What happens if you are cut in a car accident?

A laceration is is a deep cut that tears through the skin.  In a car accident, skin can be cut by impact with interior components of the car or debris. As a result, foreign material, such as glass shards from a broken windshield, can enter the body.

If you are cut in a car accident, you should assess whether your injuries require emergency medical intervention or if you can treat the wound at home. Deep cuts, debris-filled wounds that are difficult to clean, and cuts with uncontrollable bleeding require medical attention. Stitches, staples, or steri strips may be used to close the wound. You may also need a Tetanus shot or other medication to protect you from wound-related illness or infection.

After you receive appropriate medical treatment, you should promptly file a claim with the responsible party’s insurance company. It is important to keep a detailed record of all medical treatment, including evaluations, medication, and other accident-related expenses. This record should include photographic documentation of your injuries before and after medical care, as well as throughout the healing process. You should also ask the medical professional providing treatment if your injuries will result in permanent scarring or require scar revision down the road. 

An experienced personal injury attorney can assist you with compiling this information to ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to, sparing you from personal involvement in the back-and-forth dealings with the often difficult insurance companies.

Should I get stitches after a car accident?

Untreated lacerations can result in scarring, disfigurement, and even fatal blood loss. If you have a laceration that is more severe than the routine scrape or cut you treat at home, you should seek a medical evaluation to determine the best course of treatment. Stitches are a common form of treatment that promotes healing and reduces the risk of infection by closing the wound, protecting underlying tissues, and even reduces scarring.

Can I recover compensation for stitches after a car accident?

You can typically receive compensation for any medical bills, lost wages, or other expenses resulting from the car accident injuries. If injuries result in scarring, you are entitled to compensation for this permanent injury.  The amount you are entitled to varies based on the severity of your injuries, impact on your work and home life, and total medical expenses. Emergency room visits are expensive and any treatment rendered there can be costly.  Depending on the nature of your injury, you may be unable to work or your injuries may otherwise impede your day-to-day activities.

If you have been injured in a car accident, an experienced personal injury attorney can assist you with understanding what claims you may have against the responsible party and can help you determine how much compensation you may stand to recover.
