Milwaukee County recorded 94 traffic fatalities in 2024 according to the Wisconsin Traffic Operations and Safety Laboratory — 77 percent higher than in 2002, while the rest of Wisconsin's 71 counties saw fatalities decline 36 percent over the same period according to data analyzed by the Wisconsin Policy Forum. Of those 94 county fatalities, approximately 63 were in the city of Milwaukee in the most recent comparable year, with the highest concentration of fatal and serious crashes along West Fond du Lac Avenue and at the intersection of 27th Street and Center Street per Milwaukee County Department of Transportation data. Speeding-involved crash fatalities in Milwaukee County increased 213 percent from 2002 to 2022 while they declined 55 percent in the rest of the state according to Wisconsin Policy Forum analysis. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Our office is on North Water Street in downtown Milwaukee — close to the communities we serve across the North Side, Metcalfe Park, Lindsay Heights, Washington Park, and Clarke Square. West Fond du Lac Avenue and the intersection of 27th Street and Center Street are among the highest-crash corridors in Milwaukee per Milwaukee County DOT data. Froedtert Hospital and Medical College of Wisconsin — Milwaukee's Level I trauma center — and Aurora Sinai Medical Center serve the communities where our clients live and where serious injuries bring people for care. Those accidents cause real damage to Milwaukee families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across Milwaukee County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics against Milwaukee families who are already stretched thin. Wisconsin's modified comparative fault rule means they will also try to assign you fault to reduce or bar your recovery. We know how to leverage the justice system in Milwaukee County Circuit Court to fight back for what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT WISCONSIN LEGAL INFORMATION
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from date of injury for most personal injury cases (Wis. Stat. § 893.54). Medical malpractice: 3 years from act, or 1 year from discovery, whichever is later — 5-year absolute repose. Wrongful death: 3 years, except 2 years if caused by a motor vehicle accident (Wis. Stat. § 893.54(2m)).
Government Entity Deadline (Critical): Claims against the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS), or any government body require written notice within 120 days of the injury. Miss this deadline and your claim may be permanently barred (Wis. Stat. § 893.80).
At-Fault State: Wisconsin is an at-fault state. No mandatory no-fault or PIP. You file your claim directly against the negligent party and their insurer.
Comparative Fault: Modified comparative fault — 51% bar (Wis. Stat. § 895.045). Recover if your fault is 50% or less. At 51% or more fault, you recover nothing.
Insurance Minimums: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident / $10,000 property damage minimum liability (Wis. Stat. § 344.33).
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what their case is worth under Wisconsin law. They may delay, deny, and lowball — counting on financial pressure. Wisconsin has no cap on pain and suffering in most personal injury cases. TopDog fights for the full recovery.
