Milwaukee Whiplash Attorneys

Milwaukee whiplash injury lawyers - no win, no fee. Wisconsin lawsuit nets $835K settlement amount

What is the average insurance settlement for back and neck injuries in Wisconsin?

There is no reliable average settlement amount database in Wisconsin from which to draw an average. The reality is you could be entitled to $0 if no liability is found. Sometimes unemployed, uninsured culprits are referred to as “judgment proof”. Some cases are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars if damages are severe. Depending on the facts, a back, neck, or whiplash case could easily be worth $15,000 in medical expenses including chiropractor bills and pain and suffering. Warshafsky won an $835,000 settlement for a Wisconsin back injury case.

Maximum payout for a debilitating back injury in Milwaukee

One Warshafsky client, a 75-year-old Wisconsin woman, received compensation in her personal injury claim that changed the outcome of her life. The woman had severely injured her back. She was quickly taken to the hospital, where her doctor diagnosed her with a mild compression fracture. He ordered physical therapy for rehabilitation and told her the pain should lessen in a few days. The woman’s pain increased dramatically, and she began showing neurological symptoms as well. In spite of her changing and deteriorating condition, the doctor did not reevaluate his diagnosis. Subsequent examinations by another physician revealed she had suffered a burst fracture, not a mild compression fracture. A fragment of bone had impacted our client’s spinal cord, leaving her partially paralyzed in her legs.

The woman knew she deserved compensation for her extensive back injury resulting from the doctor’s negligence. She called Warshafsky Law for a free consultation, and personal injury attorney Ted Warshafsky prepared her case for trial. Our experienced personal injury attorney successfully obtained a verdict against the doctor for $835,000. The substantial jury award allowed the paralyzed woman to pay her medical bills and provide for herself. Her impaired ability to walk was frustrating and made life difficult, but she no longer had to worry about her medical expenses (note: Warshafsky helps clients nationwide).

Personal injury lawsuits in Milwaukee can raise healthcare standards and safety nationwide

Neck, back and spine injuries can be devastating. Elderly people can slip getting out of bed, getting in or out of the shower, or even just walking and find themselves with broken bones. Even healthy people can be killed or injured in a Milwaukee car accident. It is difficult to recover from injuries, and it becomes even worse if a doctor misdiagnoses the problem and prescribes the wrong treatment. A neck or lower back injury can cost you your health, your life, or, like this client, the use of your legs. Warshafsky Law takes on cases like these both to get the victim the highest settlement or award possible and to achieve a Society Changing Judgement to make hospitals and healthcare safer for everyone. Our personal injury attorneys represent victims of back, neck and spine injuries so the guilty parties are held accountable.

Other forms of neck injuries & pain in Milwaukee

Neck trauma from a car crash includes injuries other than whiplash. The bones, nerves, muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues are all connected to support and move the head, so injuring one part of the neck can cause multiple areas of damage. Here are 7 neck injuries other than whiplash that a victim of a car accident may suffer:

• Herniated disc
• Muscle strain
• Neck sprain
• Nerve root injury
• Neck fracture
