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:

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence can be devastating. Additionally, after the death of a loved one, you might be facing long-term and immediate financial concerns.

At Natasha Misra Law, we’re ready to help you navigate the unexpected challenges that come with losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence. We understand the dynamics of wrongful death claims, so you can be sure to receive the best legal support possible.
Wrongful death laws vary with every state and are designed to settle the monetary damages caused by the death of a loved one due to someone else’s wrongdoing. Hiring an experienced attorney to help you file a lawsuit is crucial, especially if you want to receive the correct compensation.
At Natasha Misra Law, we’re ready to handle your wrongful death claim and recover the compensation you deserve for:
Of course, there are other ways that you can receive compensation. That’s why it’s so important to have the proper support while filing a claim–you don’t want to do this alone.
In Wisconsin, you have three years from the time of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. However, the law has an exception for motor vehicle accident wrongful death claims. In this situation, you have only two years from the time of the death to make a claim.
At Natasha Misra Law, we understand that dealing with the wrongful death of a loved one can be very difficult. We’re committed to offering the assistance you need through every step of the legal process. Contact us today so that we can help build a legal strategy tailored to your unique situation.
