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.

When you are stopped at an intersection that permits U-turns, you will likely witness some close calls when two drivers attempt to proceed in the same direction. However, if the two were to crash, who would be liable? As always, the answer depends upon the specifics of the situation, but here are some general pointers about U-turn crashes in our state.

What is a U-Turn?

A U-turn is a sharp left-hand turn at an intersection into the opposite lane. Generally, drivers are required to yield to oncoming traffic before crossing the intersection. Because many don’t, accidents can easily occur at intersections like these. In some cases, though, the other driver may be at fault, for instance, if he was speeding, running the red light, driving while distracted or impaired, or otherwise acting negligently or recklessly behind the wheel.

Are U-Turns Legal in Wisconsin?

Yes. Wisconsin law permits U-turns at controlled intersections, unless there are signs or signals to the contrary. Even still, all drivers are responsible for proceeding with caution, keeping a lookout, and using their judgment in determining whether it is safe to execute a left-turn into traffic.

Who has the right of way in a U-Turn?

U-turn accidents often occur when a driver fails to follow Wisconsin right of way laws. The law requires drivers turning left to yield to oncoming traffic and only turn left once the traffic has broken. This applies at both a green-light intersection and an uncontrolled intersection.

If you are at an intersection that allows U-turns and see the green arrow, you have the right of way. However, if you have a red light, you need to yield to oncoming traffic. Both drivers must stay in the closest lane and avoid cutting across traffic. If you are making your turn on a green light (not a green arrow), the other drivers have the right of way.

Drivers turning left onto oncoming traffic are also required to yield. Although oncoming traffic need not stop for a driver making a U-turn, it’s incumbent upon all drivers to proceed cautiously and to keep a lookout.

What Should I Do If I Am Injured In A U-Turn Accident?

After you seek the medical treatment you need for your injuries, reach out to a personal injury attorney right away. Our firm has extensive experience representing injured motorists in right-of-way accidents and U-turn collisions and can gather evidence to support your claim.
