Some injuries can permanently change a person’s ability to work, live independently, or enjoy everyday activities. These are often referred to as catastrophic injuries.

Examples may include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, amputations, and other injuries that cause long-term or permanent impairment. Beyond immediate medical treatment, these injuries can lead to ongoing rehabilitation, lost income, and significant changes to a person’s future.

If a catastrophic injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, understanding your legal options can be an important part of planning for what comes next.

Recognizing possible symptoms and seeking prompt medical attention can be important for both your health and documentation of your injuries. If a traumatic brain injury was caused by someone else's negligence, understanding your legal options may also be an important step.

A dog attack can cause serious physical injuries, emotional distress, and unexpected medical expenses. In Wisconsin, a dog’s owner may be liable for the full amount of damages caused by the dog’s injury, even if the dog has never bitten or injured anyone before.

Wisconsin law may allow double civil damages in limited circumstances when an owner knew or was notified that the dog had previously, without provocation, bitten a person with enough force to break the skin and cause permanent physical scarring or disfigurement. Other statutory penalties may also apply depending on the circumstances.

If you have been injured by a dog, we can help you understand your legal options and potential next steps.
