Sometimes insurance companies are unwilling to settle prior to suit actually being filed. Even then, most judges will insist that the parties engage in mediation prior to trial, a new form of resolving disputes which has been quite successful in recent years. So only in a very small minority of cases does trial ever become necessary. Many times we have discovered previously overlooked aspects of a claim that have added great value. Since our first personal injury consultations are free of charge to you, why not let us investigate your claim and advise whether we feel our participation would be worthwhile for both of us.
Most insurance companies are subject to suit in Wisconsin courts.
In those rare situations where we would not be able to bring suit locally, there are procedures that enable us to appear in the courts of other states through teaming up with local counsel there.
