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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
Our job is to help you get back on your feet — physically, emotionally, and financially — and we take that job seriously.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Milwaukee, you deserve more than a quick payout. You deserve an advocate who will stand by you and fight for every dollar you’re entitled to.

The aftermath of a serious car accident can feel extremely overwhelming. From seeking the medical treatment you need to tracking down witnesses and attempting to get back on your feet financially, you have so much to do - and filing an insurance claim may be the last thing on your mind.
Fortunately, you don’t have to do this alone. An experienced Milwaukee auto accident lawyer can help you pursue the compensation you need from the insurance companies to move forward. Your attorney can also explain the different types of claims available that you are able to file and can build a strong case to maximize your potential settlement.
Here, we will share a brief overview of the types of auto insurance claims you can file and how a skilled personal injury attorney can help you prepare one.
When you are involved in a car accident with a driver who carries liability insurance, you can file a claim against that driver’s policy. This is often called a “third-party” insurance claim, since you do not have a contract with the other driver’s insurer.
When you file a third-party claim, your auto accident lawyer will contact the other driver’s insurance company to initiate the claims process. When the claim is set up, your lawyer will provide the necessary documentation in effort to get the insurance company to accept insurance coverage and liability. This may include the following types of information and evidence:
When you finish treating for your injuries or when it has been determined that you have a permanent injury or require future medical treatment, then your attorney will also provide additional documentation to the insurance company such as medical records, medical bills, permanency reports, lost wages, etc. as it relates to your injuries. This process often involves a series of negotiations between your attorney and the claims adjuster. A skilled personal injury attorney will work hard to ensure you are not pressured into settling for less than you deserve.
Wisconsin law requires all motorists to purchase liability insurance. Nonetheless, there are many drivers out there who can’t afford - or don’t bother to apply for - auto insurance. If you are hit by an uninsured driver, you will likely have to turn to your own insurance to pay for your damages. This is referred to as a "first party" insurance claim as it is against your own insurance company.
The State requires all drivers to carry minimum uninsured motorist coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for personal injuries. This coverage will pay for damages that you sustained when hit by an uninsured motorist.
However, this type of coverage does not pay for property damage to your vehicle. Property damage would be handled through the collision coverage portion of your policy.
Although Wisconsin law imposes minimum requirements for uninsured motorist coverage, it is not mandatory to purchase underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage in our State.
UIM coverage provides an increased amount of coverage if you are injured in an accident caused by a motorist who was underinsured. UIM coverage increases the bodily injury protection if the limits of the at fault party are less than your UIM limits.
When you are injured in a car accident, you need diligent, high-quality representation - regardless if you file a third party insurance claim or a claim against your own insurance company.
