Milwaukee personal injury attorneys of Warshafsky Law
Based in Milwaukee, Warshafsky law firm fights to get you the highest possible compensation. Our attorneys have a wide range of experience in fighting personal injury cases including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, slip and fall lawsuits, and more. In cases involving fatalities caused by negligence, our wrongful death attorneys and mesothelioma lawyers will fight for the best possible outcome regarding your case.
Contingency fee injury attorneys: Don’t settle for “sign & settle”
Many Milwaukee personal injury attorneys are “settlement mills.” They settle your case as fast as possible, accepting low offers from insurance companies. They make their money by handling a large volume of cases in a short amount of time. Not Warshafsky.
At Warshafsky Law Firm, our goal is to get you the money you deserve. Fast, easy settlements are not our priority. As no win, no fee lawyers, we fight for every penny you are owed. You don’t pay anything until you’ve received compensation.
Receive a free case evaluation by an experienced personal injury attorney
When you’ve been injured, figuring out how you’re going to pay for medical expenses and damages can be difficult. Warshafsky gives free case assessments, so you don’t have to stress about expenses after an injury.
No win no fee attorneys who fight for YOU
Warshafsky’s aggressive attorneys represent YOUR interest. Our legal team feels empathy for every client we serve and none for the insurance companies responsible for compensating them. Warshafsky is passionate about making sure every aspect of your case is meticulously examined.
You have limited time to file - Milwaukee's Statute of Limitations
You have a limited amount of time to file a personal injury claim after an accident. Settling too fast or waiting too long can result in a lowball settlement offer from your insurance company. If time runs out, you're left with the initial amount the claims adjuster offers. Don’t let your insurance company decide what you are owed. Hire a personal injury lawyer to fight for fair settlement. We’ll help you file a claim and educate you on filing timelines.
Legal support is more than just lawyers.
Warshafsky has an attorney who is also a medical doctor on staff who reviews medical charts, medical professional notes and records, diagnoses, disability projections, and even coroner’s reports when necessary. We also employ a nationally certified legal investigator who collects, documents, and preserves evidence. Many times, Warshafsky’s investigator finds unnoticed or neglected evidence. While there is overlap with criminal liability, our investigator understands evidence from a civil perspective.
Milwaukee personal injury firm's legal services
Warshafsky attorneys fight for justice when you’ve been injured. In Wisconsin, less than 5% of personal injury cases end with a jury trial. Insurance companies know this and will value your claim based on the quality of your lawyer. If necessary, Warshafsky Law is prepared to take your case to court. We help you navigate insurance companies, police reports, and the complex legal system. Whatever your situation, Warshafsky can help.
Types of personal injury cases
Warshafsky provides help to anyone affected by a variety of accidents and injuries, including:
Warshafsky's long history of winning lawsuits with record-breaking settlements
Warshafsky has six decades of extensive knowledge and understanding of the legal system, making us one of the most successful law firms in Wisconsin. If you are looking for lawyers who really understand how to navigate the complexities of a lawsuit, you want a legal firm with experience. Our attorneys have won millions of dollars for our clients because we consistently win cases. You could be awarded record settlements and become a part of our long history of success.
Next steps after your personal injury
A lot happens after an injury. We recommend that you report the accident, take pictures, obtain contact information from the other party (if applicable) and record the name and badge number of the police officer (if present). Before contacting your insurance company, consider consulting a lawyer to discuss your case and rights. Most importantly, never admit fault. Insurance companies can, and will, use your word against you.
Benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer
A personal injury attorney is versed in local law and navigating insurance claims. Without a lawyer, you will likely have to settle for less. Here are the advantages to hiring Warshafsky to represent you:
-
Free consultation to discuss legal options
We provide a free evaluation of your case to assess your legal options. During the evaluation, we look into the circumstances of your injury and the other party’s insurance company. We’ll get a thorough idea of the unique complexities of your case. -
No win, no fee contingency representation
Contingency representation means that you agree to pay your lawyer a percentage of your settlement offer or trial verdict. If we don’t win your case, you don’t pay the contingency fee. -
Experienced personal injury lawyers will manage the entire legal process
The legal process of lawsuits, insurance claims, and prepping a case for trial is long and complicated. When you have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side, the legal work is taken care of for you. -
Receive the compensation & damages YOU deserve
You deserve to be compensated when you are unjustly injured. Warshafsky can help you get fair compensation for the expenses you incur.
Warshafsky has beaten damage caps for personal injury cases
Damage caps are legal limits placed on how much money can be paid out after a lawsuit. We will do everything we can to ensure fair compensation after a personal injury. In some cases, there are statutes that render a cap inapplicable. Our attorneys have intimate knowledge of the law and will fight to provide you with fair compensation.
The insurance lawyers work against you. We work against them.
Under Wisconsin law, any personal injury claim above $5,000 must go to civil court. We prepare your case for trial as soon as you call to get the highest settlement possible. We investigate the unique circumstances of your injury and seek out witnesses, medical doctors, and testimonies that will improve your case. We follow your recovery progress and occupational status because missed time at work usually leads to larger settlements.
Insurance companies make a low offer first to try to save money and time. By preparing for full litigation, our Milwaukee and Madison personal injury and workman's comp attorneys show insurers we won’t accept anything less than the maximum legal worth of your injury. Once Warshafsky car insurance lawyers get involved, insurers usually increase their offer in an attempt to avoid the expense of a trial.

Milwaukee Personal Injury Lawsuits Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations in Milwaukee?
The Statute of Limitations in Milwaukee dictates that a settlement must be reached within three years of the initial injury, and some insurance companies may attempt to push as close to that limit as possible in the hopes of paying you less money. In this case, your patience pays off. Literally.
How does payment work?
By offering no win no fee lawyer services, we affirm our total commitment to our clients’ bottom line. Many clients choose Warshafsky Law Firm because we have the financial backbone allowing us to fully fund every case all the way through the verdict. Our clients have no risk ever, we advance all costs. Legal fees are ONLY when we win judgment or maximum settlement for your injury. (Cases involving minors pay a reduced fee.)
What is a retainer fee for a personal injury attorney?
If an attorney does NOT work on contingency they will ask you to agree upon a retainer fee. This is rare in personal injury law. You should choose a lawyer who only gets paid if you win. You should also choose them based on whether or not they actually go to court. Insurance companies know who will settle quickly – for less.
How do personal injury lawyers get paid if they lose a case?
They don’t. Our personal injury lawyers charge cases on contingency, meaning they only receive compensation if you do. If your case is won, your lawyer will receive a percentage of the settlement for their services; there is no charge to you if the case is lost.
How much is a personal injury consultation fee?
It doesn’t cost a penny. Your call to a personal injury lawyer is completely free and will clarify the legitimacy of your claim. While the majority of cases benefit from hiring a personal injury lawyer, not every case requires one. Your free call will help you determine whether a lawyer would be profitable to you.
