Personal Injury Lawyer Handling Claims Statewide
If you or a loved one suffered injuries because of an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you will have to turn to your own insurance policy for compensation. In a sense, your insurer steps into the shoes of the negligent driver and negotiates against you as you seek compensation.
I am Stephen B. Strnad, and I have practiced in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, since 1982. Since 1993, I have focused exclusively on personal injury law. I can help you identify coverage under your uninsured/underinsured motorist policy and aggressively pursue the compensation you will need.
You can discuss an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim with me during a free initial consultation. Just call 866-242-4202 or contact my office online. If you can't travel to my Milwaukee office, meetings at the hospital, your place of business, your home or elsewhere can be arranged.
An Increased Number of Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists on the Road
Because of the recession, more and more individuals are cutting back on expenses that they deem "expendable." Unfortunately, this means that fewer drivers on the road have adequate insurance to pay for damages if they cause a serious accident.
I can help you negotiate with your insurance company and satisfy all the necessary legal requirements for an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim. I typically handle moderate to severe injuries, including:
- Neck and back injuries
- Brain and head injuries
- Wrongful death
- Injuries to children
- Burns and serious scars
- Broken bones
- Herniated discs
Complex Requirements for Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Claims
In Wisconsin, an individual who wishes to bring an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim against his or her own insurance company must fulfill certain requirements. Most importantly, you have a duty to cooperate with the insurance company and accurately report the circumstances of the accident as best you remember them.
However, this does not mean that you should admit fault, and it does not mean that you should say anything that might jeopardize your ability to recover compensation for your injuries. You should work with an attorney to help you navigate these complex requirements successfully.
