How long do I have to bring a personal injury claim forward?
When people want to bring forward a personal injury claim (or some other type of claim or lawsuit), one of the first questions they may ask is how long they have to bring this legal case forward. When it comes to filing a personal injury suit in Wisconsin, a Manitowoc, Wisconsin personal injury lawyer knows that you will need to understand the statute of limitations. For more personal injury claims in this state, you will need to file your claim within three years of the date the accident occurred.
My significant other was injured in this accident but I was not. Can I still bring forward a personal injury claim?
It is still possible to bring a personal injury claim forward for your spouse. This may be because of:
- a loss of love and affection (also referred to as consortium)
- a loss of comfort or advice
- an inability to be intimate with your spouse, or
- a loss of companionship
When you are filing on behalf of your spouse, make sure you speak with your attorney because this can complicate your claim.
Should I expect to go to court?
Bringing a legal claim forward does not necessarily mean that you should expect to go to court. Instead, most people are able to come to an agreement with the at-fault party’s insurance company. While your attorney and the insurance agent may go back and forth a few times during the negotiation process, you may be able to reach a settlement amount that you can both agree on. If this is not the case and the insurance company is not offering you a substantial enough number, then you can speak with your attorney about pursuing further compensation in court.

In my opinion, 5 stars isn’t enough for this firm!!
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! To say he went above and beyond for me is an understatement. Anytime I contacted him, he answered me lightning fast. Even though my claim wasn’t a huge amount, he still went out of his way to get me what I deserved. If anyone you know needs a great lawyer, Josh and his firm is the place to call!!

Josh made my workers' compensation claim move along with apparent ease and kept the atmosphere casual, yet composed.
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 can’t speak highly enough for the work Joshua Turim and his Law firm did for me.
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.
