Milwaukee Car Accidents: Sue the Insurance Company and Get Paid

When you get injured in an auto accident on any of Milwaukee’s major thoroughfares such as Interstate 94, the Marquette Interchange, or even Capitol Drive, your life may change in a flash. Picture this: a distracted driver talking animatedly on their phone or friends blows through a red light, drifting across lanes and violently T-bones your vehicle.
The collision leads to an explosion of shattered, ruptured airbags, broken bones, internal organ injuries, and even severe spinal injuries. You’re rushed to the ER, and after being stabilized by the resident ER physician, a surgeon comes in to see you, hopped up on pain meds, and tells you that you may require immediate orthopedic surgery. In the back of your mind, you make the assumption that the at-fault’s driver will step in and do the right thing.
However, nothing works out as we believe it to when it comes to the insurance companies and corporate America as a whole. The company launches a calculated war of attrition that is designed to not only emotionally frustrate you, but also bleed your finances so you have no choice to either back down or accept a paltry offer. They stall communication, ask that you provide medical authorization paperwork as well as obscure the fact that the at-fault driver has policy limits that would be sufficient for a respectable payout.
In most jurisdictions, this shameless war can last months of back-and-forth, until the injured party’s resolve drops all the way down to zero, while you look at a mountain of medical debt which they will then use to provide you with a lowball settlement in order to save money on your expenses as well as future care. The optics do not look good, but it is important to understand that the buck doesn’t always at the insurance company if you have elite legal representation – read on to find out more about how we can help you if you’re facing such an injustice after your Milwaukee auto accident case.

Wisconsin Law is on Your Side – Take the Insurer to Court
What insurance carriers will never tell you during pre-suit settlement talks is that our state is one of the few states where you can pierce the entity’s corporate shield. Under the Direct Action statute, Wis. Stat. § 632.24, as well as joinder provisions Wis. Stat. § 803.04(2), you are able to sue not only the negligent motorist, but also the multi-billion-dollar insurance company as a party defendant on your complaint and summons.
Let’s take a look at the direct action doctrine that allows you to do this:
- Bypassing the “Broke Driver” Settlement Excuse: When you sue the individual who caused the accident alone, the jury is usually mistakenly told to believe that a verdict against them will bankrupt them, which can impact the verdict value. However, under § 632.24, the insurer is thrown into the defense ring, which shatters the broke driver defense, meaning that the insurance company’s deep pockets can absolutely cater for your full compensation
- Forcing Early Disclosure of Umbrella and Excess Coverage – Adjusters will often misrepresent coverage limits in order to induce quick releases. However, by naming the carrier directly, mandatory discovery soon follows, which then reveals things like certified policy dec sheets, commercial umbrellas, and so much more.
