Step-by-Step Guide
What Should You Do After an Accident in Sheboygan?
- 1
Call 911 and Report the Accident
In Wisconsin, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in Sheboygan and request both police and medical assistance.
- 2
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Nearby hospitals include HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital and Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center.
- 3
Document Everything at the Scene
Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.
- 4
Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without an Attorney
Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.
- 5
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately
Wisconsin's statute of limitations is 3 years (Wis. Stat. § 893.54). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.
- 6
Keep All Medical Records and Bills
Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.
Wisconsin Law
How Does Wisconsin Personal Injury Law Work?
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
Source: Wis. Stat. § 895.045
Wisconsin bars recovery if your fault is 51% or greater. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Statute of Limitations: 3 years
Source: Wis. Stat. § 893.54
In Wisconsin, you generally have 3 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. There are limited exceptions for minors, discovery of latent injuries, and government claims — consult an attorney immediately.
Damage Caps
Non-economic damages in medical malpractice capped at $750,000 (Wis. Stat. § 893.55(4)(d)). No general PI cap.
Key Wisconsin Laws Affecting Your Case
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
Wis. Stat. § 895.045
Wisconsin follows modified comparative negligence. If you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
3-Year Statute of Limitations
Wis. Stat. § 893.54
Wisconsin has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims.
Mandatory Auto Insurance
Wis. Stat. § 344.62
Wisconsin requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/10 ($25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident BI, $10,000 PD). UM/UIM coverage must be offered but can be rejected in writing.
OWI Law
Wis. Stat. § 346.63
Wisconsin uses OWI (Operating While Intoxicated). BAC limit is .08 for adults, .00 for those under 21. Wisconsin is the only state where a first OWI offense is a civil forfeiture (non-criminal), though subsequent offenses are criminal.
Dram Shop Liability (Limited)
Wis. Stat. § 125.035
Wisconsin limits dram shop liability to sales to underage persons only. There is no dram shop liability for serving visibly intoxicated adults — one of the most restrictive dram shop frameworks in the nation.
Safe Place Statute
Wis. Stat. § 101.11
Wisconsin's Safe Place statute requires employers and property owners to maintain safe conditions for employees and visitors. This creates additional liability in premises liability and workplace injury cases.
