McLario, Helm & Bertling - Milwaukee Auto Accident Attorneys

If you or anyone in your family has been involved in a car accident, especially one involving serious personal injuries, contact the experienced car accident lawyers at McLario, Helm & Bertling in Menomonee Falls. Our ability to take your case to court, together with our reputation as tough trial attorneys, can not only improve your prospects for full compensation from a jury, but can also increase the likelihood of a favorable settlement with the insurer.

Our Waukesha County accident injury lawyers represent clients in all kinds of motor vehicle collisions in Greater Milwaukee and eastern Wisconsin. Among the cases we handle are:

• Injury accidents involving pedestrians or bicycles
• Motorcycle accidents
• Semi truck collisions
• Problems involving uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance coverage
• Collisions involving speeding, reckless driving, or drunk driving
• Accidents involving pickup trucks, SUVs, delivery vehicles, or rental cars
• Recreational vehicle accidents involving ATV's, snowmobiles, or personal watercraft
• Fatal vehicle accidents

One leading insurer has found that persons represented by an attorney receive two to three times as much in compensation as those who deal by themselves with the insurance claims adjuster. Even if your vehicle damage is light, or no serious injuries are immediately apparent, you owe it to yourself to consult an attorney any time you're involved in a crash.

Some injuries, such as soft-tissue injuries to the neck, back, or shoulder, or closed head wounds without obvious symptoms, can degenerate into chronic, severe, or even permanent health problems. When you consult with one of our auto accident compensation attorneys, we'll make sure that your medical condition is accurately assessed so that a complete presentation of your damages can be presented for payment. Once you settle with an insurer, there's little or no chance that you can collect for damages that should have been considered from the beginning.

Trucking Accidents

Our semi truck accident lawyers have the experience necessary to identify all of the potential defendants and their insurers in a complex tractor-trailer accident case. We're familiar with the federal safety regulations that limit a truck driver's hours behind the wheel, require regular vehicle inspections and maintenance, and protect the public from negligent hiring, screening, and training of professional truckers. We can represent you in cases involving:

• Big rig trucks, 18 wheelers, or semi tractor-trailer combinations
• Tanker trucks or hazardous materials haulers
• Flatbeds hauling pipes, lumber, or other building materials
• Construction vehicles, such as dual-axle dump trucks, equipment haulers, or cement mixers
• Moving vans, rental trucks, or commercial delivery trucks
• Stone trucks or quarry trucks

The injuries caused by serious truck accidents can be extensive, disabling, or fatal. Our Wisconsin truck accident attorneys will work closely with your treating physicians and our medical experts to make sure that all of your physical injuries are properly identified and assessed for presentation as part of your damages demand. We'll also make a careful examination of your intangible losses - pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment, loss of companionship - to make sure that every component of your loss is included in your recovery.
