🌊🚤 Summer is officially here, and the St. Croix Valley is hitting the water!

As we continue National Safety Month, we want to talk about one of our favorite summer pastimes: boating and jet skiing. While our local lakes and rivers are perfect for a hot afternoon, watercraft accidents can result in severe, life-altering injuries.

Operating a boat comes with the exact same legal responsibilities as operating a car. Distracted driving, speeding, and operating under the influence are not just dangerous, they carry heavy legal liabilities if someone gets hurt.

Keep your life jackets handy, watch your wake, and let's keep our waterways safe for everyone this season! 🛟🌤️

🛑 "It seemed fair, so I just signed it..."

In the days following a car accident, insurance adjusters often push hard to settle things quickly. They know that if they can get you to accept a fast initial offer, give a recorded statement, or sign a blanket release before you know your rights, they can dramatically lower your settlement.

Watch our latest video to see the most common mistakes that derail personal injury claims right as summer travel kicks off.

Once you sign or give a statement, it is incredibly difficult to undo the damage. Protect your health and your financial recovery. Call us first. ⚖️🦾

🌲🏍️ Hitting the trails on your ATV or UTV this week? Read this first.

Wisconsin has some of the finest trail systems in the country, making riding a top summer tradition. However, trail accidents can cause life-altering injuries, and navigating insurance coverage for recreational vehicles is different from a standard car accident.

Our very own Michael Brose published a comprehensive guide on the blog breaking down your ex act legal rights, responsibilities, and key insurance details to watch out for if an accident occurs on the trails.

🚗☀️ Welcome to June! Did you know this is National Safety Month?

As summer vacations, road trips, and weekend cabin runs officially kick off in the St. Croix Valley, our highways are about to get a lot busier. Unfortunately, higher traffic volumes lead to a sharp spike in highway and interstate accidents.

This month, Doar, Drill & Skow is sharing vital legal safety tips to protect you and your family on the road. Remember: if you are involved in a collision, protect your rights from day one, collect witness info, photograph the scene, and consult an attorney before signing insurance releases.

Stay safe out there! 🛡️🛣️
