Does Your Auto Accident Lawyer Have Over 60 Years of Experience?

When you've been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you need a lawyer with the expertise and knowledge to best handle your case – an attorney who can fairly, yet aggressively, fight for your rights.

At McLario, Helm & Bertling, S.C. in Menomonee Falls, we have represented injured people for over 60 years. Our metropolitan Milwaukee-area attorneys have the experience to negotiate your automobile accident case to get you the settlement you deserve.

Trust your motor vehicle accident litigation to lawyers who will work hard to win your case. Our accident attorneys work on a contingent fee basis, which means you don't pay us unless we win a settlement or judgment for you.

Take a look at the various types of motor vehicle accidents our skilled lawyers have handled and how we can use that experience to help you.

Car Accidents

Unfortunately, car crashes happen every day. However, it's surprising how uninformed some motorists are. A fact that could cost you more than just repair bills if you don't learn the facts.

You may believe that your auto insurance or the insurance of the other driver involved in a car accident will make sure you get the money and care you need. With a very few exceptions, this isn't the case. It is in an insurance company's best interest to give you the lowest settlement possible. In fact, one insurer 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.

Although you probably don't consider yourself the "litigious type," not seeking the assistance of an experienced auto accident lawyer can have large financial repercussions.

At our Milwaukee-area firm, our car accident attorneys will make sure your health and medical condition are properly diagnosed as some injuries – including soft-tissue injuries and head injuries – may not show immediately symptoms. These could leave you with chronic pain or other permanent serious conditions long after your insurance company sends you a check.

Don't trust the insurance company. Put your trust in our attorneys, who have won auto accident cases for clients throughout Southeast Wisconsin. Call our Menomonee Falls firm at (262) 251-4210 today to schedule your free initial consultation.

Truck Accidents

Tractor trailers. 18-wheelers. Big rigs. Semi-trucks. Whatever you call them; large trucks seem to have an increased presence on Wisconsin freeways and highways. With more big trucks on the road, the chances of trucking accidents increase.

Accidents involving big-rig trucks can cause serious personal injury, especially to drivers and passengers in cars, pick-up trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. In addition to the element of serious injuries, tractor-trailer accident lawsuits can be more complicated due to numerous potential defendants, including not only the driver, but also the trucking company, and their adherence to rigorous federal safety regulations including:

• Limits on number of hours a driver can be behind the wheel
• Maintenance and vehicle inspection requirements, including accurate record keeping
• Suitable screening and hiring processes
• Proper training of professional drivers 

If you have been involved in a trucking accident, you need an attorney who understands not only Wisconsin personal injury law, but also the complexities of federal trucking regulations. At McLario, Helm & Bertling, S.C., our lawyers are well-versed in the intricacies of truck accident lawsuits.

Trucking companies hire "big-gun" attorneys to try to bully you into taking a smaller settlement. Our trucking accident lawyers are not intimidated by these tactics. In fact, we welcome these cases. Our goal is to protect your rights and take down the bullies.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles and the call of the open road have often appealed to the sense of freedom for riders. However, as the price of gas has increased over the years, more commuters and travelers are turning to motorcycles to save money.

However, freedom and cost savings cannot prevent hazards in the road, carelessness of other drivers, poor road conditions, or any other cause of an accident. Even with protective gear, as a motorcyclist, you are likely to suffer severe personal injuries – or even be killed – if you are involved in a motorcycle accident.

Motorcycle accidents are likely to have long-term medical consequences and you need a lawyer familiar with all of the costs that you may incur. When preparing your case and setting a number for damages, our motorcycle accident attorneys will take into account:

• Your loss of income
• Accrued and expected hospital charges
• Occupational therapy or rehabilitative therapy costs, if needed
• Adaptive living technology, if needed
• Long-term nursing assistance fees, if needed
• Your pain and suffering

Based in Menomonee Falls, our lawyers have successfully represented motorcycle accident victims from Milwaukee and throughout Southeast Wisconsin. We want you to place your trust in us and allow us to get you the full amount of damages you deserve.

We know that you are probably not able to be up and around after your accident. Have your representative call us at (262) 251-4210, so we can schedule a free consultation today. Let us take one burden off your mind.

Recreational and Boating Accidents

You work hard and look forward to the time that you spend having fun. Unfortunately, sometimes fun turns to tragedy when there is an accident.

Recreational vehicle accidents are often caused by either a negligent driver, possibly under the influence of alcohol or drugs or a vehicle malfunction. You shouldn't suffer at the fault of another. At McLario, Helm & Bertling, S.C., our lawyers can protect your rights and ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.

The accident attorneys at our Milwaukee-area firm have experience with litigation involving various recreational vehicles, including:

• All terrain vehicles (ATVs), including dune buggies, quads, and three-wheelers
• Private-use boats, including fishing boats, power boats, and water-ski boats
• Personal watercraft, including Sea-Doos, WaveRunners, and jet-skis
• Snow vehicles, including snowmobiles and Ski-Doos

Your life has already been thrown into a tailspin, so we take accident cases on a contingent fee basis. That means you don't pay us until we recover damages for your injuries. Contact our office to schedule a free initial consultation to determine how we can help you with your recreational vehicle accident.
