Were you injured in an accident in Brookfield, WI?
At Hickey & Turim, S.C., we invite you to schedule a free consultation with a Brookfield personal injury lawyer trusted by clients since 1989.
If you were injured in Brookfield because a driver, a property owner, or a business acted carelessly, an attorney can help you pursue compensation from the party responsible. Many of these claims involve store chains, property managers, or commercial fleets, and their insurers act quickly once a claim is reported.
Hickey & Turim, S.C. has represented injured Wisconsin residents since 1989. A Brookfield, WI personal injury lawyer from our firm can identify every source of coverage, gather the evidence, and handle negotiations while you focus on treatment. You can arrange a no-cost case review whenever you decide to move forward.
A personal injury lawyer represents people harmed by another party’s negligence and seeks payment for the losses that harm caused. The work includes investigating fault, documenting injuries, placing a value on the claim, and filing suit if the insurer refuses to settle fairly.
WisDOT’s final fatality figures list 20 traffic deaths in Waukesha County for 2024 and 27 for 2023. When the responsible party is a business or a commercial driver, the claim is usually handled by a corporate insurer with its own adjusters and defense counsel. A Brookfield personal injury attorney negotiates with those carriers directly and recognizes common insurance company tactics, such as delayed responses, early low offers, and requests for recorded statements.
Brookfield’s shopping districts, office parks, and commuter routes produce a wide range of injury claims. The responsible party is often a company rather than an individual, which affects how a personal injury lawyer in Brookfield gathers evidence and identifies coverage.
Car accidents. Collisions along Bluemound Road, Moorland Road, and I-94 range from rear-end impacts to serious crashes involving delivery trucks and company vehicles. When the at-fault driver was working at the time, the employer’s commercial policy may also apply. We identify each available policy and present the medical evidence to every insurer.
Slip and falls. Stores, restaurants, and apartment complexes must keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. A fall caused by an unmarked spill, a broken step, or an icy walkway can support a claim against the owner or the company managing the property. We request incident reports and surveillance footage before a business overwrites or discards them.
Workers’ compensation. An employee hurt on the job generally receives benefits through the employer’s workers’ compensation coverage. When a subcontractor, a property owner, or a negligent driver caused the injury, a separate personal injury claim against that outside party may also be available. We evaluate both claims so an injured worker can pursue every available source of compensation.
Construction accidents. Commercial development and road projects place workers and passersby near heavy equipment, open trenches, and elevated work areas. Fault may rest with a general contractor, a subcontractor, or an equipment manufacturer. Determining who is liable is one of our first steps.
Bicycle accidents. Cyclists can suffer fractures and head injuries when a driver turns across their path or fails to yield. Insurers often argue the rider contributed to the crash. We reconstruct the collision and collect witness accounts in response.
Scooter accidents. Electric scooters share road space with cars and sidewalk space with pedestrians. A crash may involve a negligent driver, a road hazard, or a defective device, and we examine each possibility before pursuing the party at fault.
Dog bites. An owner who fails to control a dog may be responsible for the injuries it causes. Bite wounds can require surgery and leave permanent scarring. We pursue the owner’s homeowner’s or renter’s policy.
Wrongful death. When negligence takes a family member’s life, certain surviving relatives may bring a claim for their losses. We manage the investigation, the filings, and all communication with the insurers on the family’s behalf.
David Turim was admitted to the Wisconsin bar in 1985 and co-founded Hickey & Turim, S.C. four years later. His practice centers on personal injury and workers’ compensation claims for injured people across the state. He earned his J.D. at Marquette University Law School after completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He belongs to the State Bar of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Association for Justice, an organization of attorneys who represent injured people. Our attorneys bring more than 70 years of combined experience, and the firm has represented thousands of injury victims since it opened.
The firm’s work has produced millions of dollars recovered for injured clients throughout Wisconsin. We handle Brookfield personal injury cases on a no-win, no-fee basis. No attorney fee is owed unless we recover compensation, and the first consultation is free. A claim against a corporate insurer can be pursued without paying legal fees in advance.
Compensation in an injury claim is meant to cover the financial and personal losses the injury caused. Wisconsin law permits recovery in several categories.
Medical expenses include emergency care, surgery, therapy, and treatment your doctors expect you to need later.
Lost income covers wages missed during recovery, and future damages may include reduced earning capacity and ongoing care.
Pain and suffering compensates for physical pain, emotional distress, and the limits an injury places on daily life.
Property damage includes the repair or replacement of a vehicle or other personal property.
Surviving relatives may recover certain losses under the wrongful death statute when an injury proves fatal.
Fault affects the final figure as well. Under Wisconsin’s comparative negligence law, your award is reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. You cannot recover from a party whose share of fault is smaller than yours, so a finding above 50 percent bars recovery entirely. In claims against businesses, defense counsel often argues the injured person was distracted or ignored a warning sign. Photographs, video, and witness statements collected early are often the most effective response.
Proving negligence requires showing the other party owed you a duty of care, breached it, and caused your injury. A Brookfield, WI personal injury attorney establishes each of these elements with evidence from the following sources.
Prompt treatment creates medical records linking your injuries to the incident.
Photographs, surveillance video, and witness names should be preserved as soon as possible.
Statements to an adjuster should be accurate and limited to the facts.
Insurers review social media posts and may use them to dispute the severity of an injury.
A written record of missed work and daily limitations supports the damages portion of the claim.
The length of a claim depends on the severity of the injuries and on the insurer’s willingness to pay what the claim is worth. A case involving modest injuries may resolve within several months. Cases involving surgery, permanent limitations, or disputed fault often continue for a year or longer.
You complete treatment or reach a point where your doctors can describe your long-term condition.
We collect medical records, bills, wage information, and evidence of fault.
We send the insurer a written demand with documentation supporting the claim’s value.
Negotiations follow, and many claims settle before a lawsuit is filed.
If the insurer will not pay a fair amount, we file suit in the Waukesha County Civil Court and prepare the case for mediation or trial.
Wisconsin generally allows three years to file an injury lawsuit under its statute of limitations. Starting the process early protects your right to proceed.
A few documents allow us to evaluate your claim accurately at the first meeting. Records you do not have yet can be obtained later.
The police report or store incident report shows how the accident was first documented, and WisDOT sells Wisconsin crash reports online.
Photographs of the scene, the hazard, the vehicles, or your injuries help establish what happened.
Medical bills and discharge paperwork show the treatment you have received so far.
Letters from an insurance company reveal the position the insurer has taken.
During the free consultation, we review these materials, answer your questions, and explain how an insurer or a jury is likely to view the facts. You are under no obligation to hire us afterward.
Crash risk in Brookfield is concentrated on the commercial corridors and freeway connections used by commuters and shoppers. Among local streets, these roads combine heavy turning traffic with frequent business driveways.
Moorland Road (County O) carries traffic between I-94, Brookfield Square, and nearby office parks, and its freeway interchange feeds merging traffic directly onto a busy commercial street.
Barker Road serves The Corners of Brookfield and other retail destinations near Bluemound Road, which brings steady turning movements at its signalized intersections.
Calhoun Road links residential neighborhoods, City Hall, and commercial areas, and its intersections mix commuter traffic with local trips.
Brookfield’s highways carry higher speeds and larger volumes of traffic, which WisDOT measures through its statewide traffic counts.
Interstate 94 crosses southern Brookfield and carries commuter and freight traffic between Milwaukee and western Waukesha County.
US 18 (Bluemound Road) is a busy commercial highway, and WisDOT completed a safety improvement project between Barker Road and Moorland Road that restricted left turns across the median.
WIS 190 (Capitol Drive) carries east-west traffic across northern Brookfield through a series of signalized intersections.

I was very apprehensive about contacting a lawyer for my workmen’s comp. claim. I’ve never had any good experience in the lawyer department. But thanks to Joshua Turim, I have new found gratitude!

He settled my case after many months of preparation and ultimate negotiation, keeping me informed along the way. He knew what I expected for an outcome, and explained every detail in laymen’s terms. Josh took all the time necessary to explain the process. I never felt like I didn’t understand. I recommend Josh to anyone looking to resolve a workers’ compensation claim without additional strain.

I found him from the Yellow Pages and after consulting with several other of his peers I hired Josh. The fit was right. He’s been my counsel for nearly 5 years now. My case was not an easy one. Workers’ Comp moves slow and methodical. Believe me, I’m thankful I had a professional who is very experienced and knowledgeable about the system on my side. We’ve reached a very good settlement and I know I can continue to count on Joshua Turim should any need arise.
Thanks Josh.
