Motorists turning left and failing to yield the right of way to a straight-through bicyclist. Madison personal injury attorney John Raihala of Clifford & Raihala recently recovered 2 million dollars in a wrongful death settlement for the family of a bicyclist killed when a tow truck driver did just that.
Traffic Violations
Auto collisions are caused by a number of factors, but when you sustain car wreck injuries or a loved one has been killed because of distracted or otherwise negligent drivers, you may be entitled to a personal injury settlement. In Wisconsin, inattentive driving and speeding caused the most car crashes that resulted in fatalities. In 2015, one person died every 49 minutes in an inattentive driving related crash; one person died every 65 minutes in a speeding related crash. If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one due to another’s negligent driving, contact Clifford & Raihala, S.C., Wisconsin car accident attorneys, to determine your legal recourse.

Most of us spend most of our waking hours at work. It is unsurprising, then, that workplace injury and illness happens frequently. In Wisconsin, there were 82,700 injuries and/or illnesses reported in 2016, the last year for which there is information. That is an increase from 2015. And there were 105 fatalities. The majority of those fatally injured worked for wages or salaries. When you or a loved one suffers a work related injury or illness, it is important to contact a workers compensation lawyer.

When a slip and fall accident occurs, determining liability is often complicated. In general, it falls under the category of premises liability, but there are often various parties who hold responsibility. First, there needs to be a “dangerous condition†that the owner knew or ought to have known about that posed an unreasonable risk to someone else. If the incident takes place at a business, the owner may not be present; the actions or inactions of the manager, and/or other employees may be significant. Likewise, outside maintenance companies or the snow removal company could hold some responsibility. It also matters where the incident takes place. If it is on government property, written notice must be given within 120 days. Expert slip and fall attorneys know all the intricacies.
Property Damage
In fact, there are numerous factors that influence what a motorcycle accident claim is worth, and many of them depend on the quality and experience of the motorcycle accident attorney representing the injured rider. Clifford & Raihala’s motorcycle accident attorneys understand that motorcycle accident injuries include both economic and noneconomic losses, and must be evaluated carefully. A biker who has been severely injured in a collision almost always suffers significant economic losses. These include medical expenses for the immediate care and for the rest of the biker’s life; lost wages and loss of earning capacity; and, not unimportantly, the property damage to the motorcycle.

Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
A dog attack can be traumatizing, and it doesn’t take long for an attacking dog to inflict serious injury. Every year, about 4.5 million dog bites occur in the United States. One in five of those bites becomes infected. So even if the dog bite itself doesn’t cause significant damage, the subsequent infection can do so. Severe dog attacks can result in maiming and even death. In 2015, over 28,000 people underwent reconstructive surgery as a result of being bitten by a dog; and 433 Americans were killed from dog attacks between 2005 and 2017. A dog bite that breaks the skin requires attention. It may require a dog bite injury attorney as well.
