A day on Lake Michigan. A quiet afternoon on the Milwaukee River. For many Wisconsin families boating is a favorite way to enjoy the sunshine. But in an instant a careless boater or unsafe equipment can turn your day on the water into a serious accident.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a boat accident near Milwaukee you probably have questions

  • Who will pay my medical bills?

  • What if the other boater was drinking or speeding?

You should not face these questions alone. At Natasha Misra Law we are Not Just Another Suit. We are your guide, your advocate and your partner in getting the fair compensation you deserve.

Why Legal Help Matters in a Boat Accident Claim

Boat accidents are not the same as car accidents. There may be multiple people or companies at fault including the boat operator, the boat owner, or a rental company. Federal and state boating laws add another layer of complexity. Insurance companies often push back or blame everyone but their own client.

This is where our team makes a difference. Natasha Misra Law knows how to investigate boating accidents, gather the right evidence, and build a strong case that stands up to big insurance companies.

Steps to Take After a Boat Accident in Milwaukee

If you have been hurt in a boating accident protect yourself by following these steps

Seek Medical Care Immediately: Your health comes first. Even if you feel fine, get checked by a doctor. Some injuries take time to show up and medical records help prove your claim.

Report the Accident: Call the US Coast Guard or local law enforcement to file an official report. This report can be vital when filing your injury claim.

Gather Evidence: If you are able, take photos of the scene of the boat damage, your injuries, and any safety issues you notice. Get the names and phone numbers of any witnesses.

Talk to a Milwaukee Boat Accident Lawyer: Before you speak to an insurance adjuster or sign any paperwork, talk to an attorney. We will explain your rights and handle the legal details so you can focus on getting better.

If you are injured in a rear-end accident, you may wonder who is responsible for paying the medical bills, vehicle repair costs, and other expenses associated with the accident. In Wisconsin, the negligent driver is liable for damages. However, sometimes it is unclear who is at fault for an accident. How is fault determined in a rear-end accident, and what happens if you are the one at fault?

Which driver is responsible in a rear-end collision?

The rear driver is generally always at fault. However, issues often arise as to which rear vehicle is responsible in a multi-vehicle accident. If there were two separate impacts, for example, then there may a dispute as to which rear driver caused the accident. When the rear-most vehicle hits the vehicle in front of it and pushes the middle vehicle into the foremost vehicle, then only the rear-most vehicle is responsible for the accident. In other situations in which three or more cars are involved in a rear end accident, the front vehicle may need to file a claim against all rear vehicles.

What are some common causes of a rear-end collision?

Rear-end collisions occur when drivers are distracted, speeding, or following too closely. Weather or other hazardous road conditions or obstructions such as construction or wildlife can also contribute to accidents, including rear-end collisions. Faulty brake lights or not using a vehicle’s hazard lights when there is a problem can also cause accidents. Other common causes of rear-end collisions include erratic driving or sudden maneuvers like slamming on the breaks, switching the car from drive into reverse, or making an incomplete turn.

Who is responsible for a multi-car, rear-end accident?

Often, multi-car accidents mean multiple drivers are at fault. Any drivers who contributed to the collision by following too closely, speeding, driving distracted or any other negligent behaviors may share responsibility when involved in a multi-car accident.  Multi-vehicle accidents can become complicated as to determining which rear vehicle caused damages.  For example, in a three vehicle rear-end accident, the front-most vehicle may need to file a claim against one or both rear vehicles.

What should you do after a rear-end collision?

After an accident, you should seek immediate medical attention even if you do not have any obvious injuries. Some serious injuries, such as concussions or soft tissue damage, may not have any immediate symptoms but carry long-term consequences. Seek a medical evaluation, contact the police for an accident report, and contact your insurance company.

After you tend to your injuries - which is always most important - there are a few other steps you should take. Make sure to document everything you can about the accident, from the weather and road conditions to witness contact information. While it may seem excessive, taking these steps will ensure you have the evidence you need in the event of a lawsuit.  Fault is typically determined through witness and officer statements, so be sure to speak with everyone who was at or near the scene and may have witnessed how the accident unfolded.

Second, make sure you capture photographic evidence of the accident scene, focusing on items like the position of the vehicles, tire skid marks, your injuries, and any property damage. While you may think that you’ll remember, memories fade. Be sure to capture the evidence while it exists. 

What damages can you recover after a rear-end collision?

Rear-end collisions can result in serious injuries including whiplash, neck injuries, back injuries, and even traumatic head injuries. These injuries often require costly, long-term medical treatment which can also lead to lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress on top of property damage to the involved vehicle. Fortunately, if you are injured in a rear-end collision, you can recover damages for all these things from the negligent driver.
