Suddenly, a massive work vehicle fails to see you and slams into your car. Or, you're in Green Bay, and a commercial truck driver has been driving for hours without rest, and crashes right into you.
When you're injured in an accident involving a commercial or work vehicle, you might be dealing with multiple parties—like the driver, the company that owns the vehicle, or even the vehicle manufacturer. On top of that, these companies are quick to send their own teams to limit their liability. It can all feel overwhelming, but that’s where Natasha Misra Law steps in. We’re here to help you get the compensation you deserve.
After an accident involving a work or commercial vehicle, it’s important to take certain steps right away to protect your case. First, make sure you’re safe and seek necessary medical attention. If possible, you should document the accident by taking photos and gathering witness information. Afterward, contact a lawyer to start building your case before the company starts their own investigation.
Accidents involving commercial or work vehicles aren’t like regular car crashes. Companies are focused on cutting costs and delivering goods or services quickly, sometimes at the expense of safety. Drivers may speed or ignore the rules—all of which increase the chances of a crash.
When you’re in an accident involving a commercial or work vehicle, more than one party could be responsible. The driver, the company that owns the vehicle, and even the vehicle manufacturer might all share the blame. As your lawyer, we’ll investigate every angle to make sure the right parties are held accountable.
Time is key after an accident involving a work or commercial vehicle. Companies often have their own teams of investigators who show up quickly to minimize their liability. By working with an accident lawyer right away, we can make sure evidence like driver logs, maintenance records, dash cam footage and witness statements are preserved.

Automobile insurance is a contractual agreement between you and your insurance company. Your insurance company promises to provide compensation for injuries or property damage that you suffer as the result of an automobile accident in exchange for a premium.
Wisconsin drivers are required by Wisconsin’s Financial Responsibility Law to carry automobile insurance. At minimum, your auto insurance policy must provide liability coverage for the following amounts:
Additionally, Wisconsin drivers are required to carry uninsured motorist coverage with a minimum bodily injury coverage of at least $25,000 for injury or death of one person and $50,000 for injury or death of two or more people.
Personal automobile insurance covers you (the named insured), your spouse, other relatives living in the same household and anyone you give permission to driver your automobile unless excluded from the policy.
If you are responsible for an auto accident that injures other people, bodily injury liability coverage protects your personal assets up to the stated amount of coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, as well as other losses sustained by the injured individuals. Bodily injury coverage does not cover your injuries that you experience as a result of an accident that is your fault.
Property damage liability coverage, on the other hand, pays for property damage that you cause as a result of a car accident. This coverage pays for any damage up to your insurance policy’s limit. This coverage includes damages to someone else’s vehicle, someone else’s personal property and structural damage to property you do not own such as a street sign or light pole.
This coverage is for you, your family and other passengers in your vehicle who sustain injuries when struck by a vehicle who has no insurance or by a hit and run driver. This coverage also covers you and your family members if injured as a pedestrian when struck by a driver with no insurance or a driver who hits you and leaves the scene of an accident. The amount covered is based on the policy limits purchased.
Although underinsured (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, many Wisconsin driver choose to carry this type of coverage for further protection. You should choose to have UIM coverage in case the at fault party does not have sufficient policy limits to cover your losses. UIM coverage increases the bodily injury protection to you and the passengers in your vehicle if the limits of the at fault party are less than your UIM coverage limits.
Medical payments coverage is a benefit that pays for medical expenses or funeral expenses for you or any others injured or killed in an auto accident in your vehicle regardless of fault. This type of coverage also covers you or your family members as pedestrians if hit by a car or riding as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle.
This type of coverage is useful to pay for co-payments or deductibles that your health insurance does not cover, as well as applicable out-of-pocket expenses.
While Wisconsin’s Financial Responsibility Law requires drivers to carry bodily injury liability coverage, property damage liability coverage, and uninsured motorist coverage, many drivers choose to purchase more coverage than is required by law to protect their personal assets after an accident.
This coverage will repair damages to your vehicle or pay in the event your vehicle has been declared totaled from a collision with another vehicle or object, even if you are at fault for the accident.
Even though collision coverage is not mandatory in the State of Wisconsin, financial institutions (lienholders) may require you to take out collision coverage to protect their interest at the time of a collision.
Comprehensive coverage is an elective coverage that pays for damage to your vehicle caused by covered events such as theft, vandalism, flooding, hail, broken glass, falling objects and even hitting an animal such as a deer.
