Mingo & Yankala, S.C. attorneys walking in Milwaukee office — boutique personal injury law firm representing accident victims throughout Wisconsin

Mingo & Yankala, S.C. is a Milwaukee-based personal injury law firm representing accident victims throughout Wisconsin. We are a boutique practice — not a high-volume billboard firm. We take a limited number of cases and handle each one personally.

Our founding attorney, Mark Mingo, brings credentials that are genuinely rare — not just in Wisconsin, but in American personal injury law. He has been selected to Wisconsin Super Lawyers for 19 consecutive years, holds an AV Preeminent rating, an Avvo 10/10, Board Certified in Civil Trial Law, National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA), and has tried more than 100 personal injury cases to jury verdict. He also argued and won DeShaney v. Winnebago County, 489 U.S. 189 (1989) before the United States Supreme Court — one of the most significant Fourteenth Amendment decisions ever handed down, cited thousands of times by courts nationwide and taught in virtually every law school in the United States. Earlier in his career he represented major insurance companies, Yamaha, and Bombardier. He chose to leave that work behind. Every skill he developed on the defense side now serves one purpose: getting injured people the full compensation they deserve.

Injury Guarantee

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with the way your case is being handled within the first 30 days, you are free to take your case to another lawyer.  – No fee, No costs, No questions asked.

The Law Firm You Choose Matters

In personal injury cases, credentials are not marketing language — they are the factors that determine how an insurance company values your claim and whether a defense attorney takes your case seriously.

When an insurance company sees that your attorney has tried more than 100 personal injury cases to verdict, that changes the settlement calculation. When they know your attorney is AV Preeminent Rated, Super Lawyers-selected for 19 consecutive years, and Board Certified in Civil Trial Law, National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) — they evaluate the case differently.

And when they know your attorney argued and won DeShaney v. Winnebago County before the United States Supreme Court — a Fourteenth Amendment decision so consequential it has been cited thousands of times and is taught in law schools across the country — they understand they are not dealing with an ordinary opponent.

At Mingo & Yankala, S.C., we handle truck accidents, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability, wrongful death, and serious personal injury cases throughout Wisconsin. We know how the defense approaches each type of case because we spent years on that side representing major insurers, Yamaha Motor Corporation, and Bombardier Recreational Products. We left that work behind. Every case we take now is on behalf of an injured person.

If he is representing you, and not the other party -- you are lucky, or you chose well. --- Mark, Thank You for all that you did for us ! Daniel G
Very knowledgeable lawyer Working with Attorney Mingo it is immediately obvious that he is extremely competent and knowledgeable in his profession. Not once did he give me reason to question his expertise or his ability to successfully represent me in my personal injury case. He is quick to reply to questions, is very straightforward in his answers, and will guide you through each part of the process, advising you along the way. At the same time, he is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable discussing your case. Unlike what you see on commercials, he won't promise you the moon or give you unreasonable expectations that no one can deliver. Neither will he rush to settle. He is determined to work towards achieving the best possible result. This was my first legal experience and I had no idea what to expect. Mr. Mingo answered all of my questions and made me feel confident about the process. Legal matters are often a lengthy and complicated process, and it is because of this that you need an experienced, qualified, and determined attorney representing you. This why I fully recommend Attorney Mark Mingo. Kurt L
Excellent law firm Hired Mark months after a car accident and my health insurance refused to pay my medical bills. Mark took my case, contacted the health insurer and got them to cover the bills, taking the huge expense off my family’s shoulders. Mark is a very knowledgeable lawyer with lots of experience. He handled every aspect of my case and gave proper legal advice on how to proceed as the case developed. Everything he advised me to do really helped the outcome of the case. I would recommend him to anyone I know who is in need of an attorney. Thank you for your help. David L.
Highest standards of ethical behavior Excellent law firm! I had a great experience with Attorney Mingo. He was very thorough, easy to work with, caring and made me feel like I was a priority. I would highly recommend Mark Mingo to anyone seeking a personal injury attorney. Kimberly K
Extremely knowledgeable As a practicing attorney for 30 years, I have had the opportunity to work with and refer numerous clients to Mark. As a former President of the State Bar of Wisconsin, I believe Mark is the best litigation attorney that I have encountered. As a former Supreme Court Referee appointed to resolve ethics issues, I can say without reservation that Mark exhibits the highest standards of ethical behavior in representing his clients. Kimberly K
Thorough, responsive, thoughtful Mark handled my defense case in a personal injury lawsuit. He is extremely knowledgeable in this area. Throughout the process he clearly explained step by step what his approach would be and how he was going to handle my case. He was very patient with me and I felt very much at ease knowing that with his incredible amount of experience he would be able to handle my case that would produce a positive outcome. I was extremely pleased with Mark. I truly believe that without his help the end result of this case would have been much different. Frankly, I was able to sleep better at night knowing Mark was defending my case. Benedetta B
Patience with my situation I've had a great experience with Mark Mingo and his team. Thorough, responsive, thoughtful, with an immense understanding of the complications of my case against an insurance giant. I highly and confidently recommend! Laura M
Responsive and very friendly Soon after a serious bodily harm caused to me by a neighbor, I seek the legal advice of Attorney Mark Mingo. Mark not only had patience with my situation he followed through until I made the decision to file a civil law suit. I provided all the information his office needed to go forward. During the deposition the Mark assured me that everything was "ok" due to my emotional distress on having to restate the incident. The paralegal will contact me as soon as she received any notification of my case. In less than 10 months the case was settled. Aldira A
Resolved our case in record time I was recommended to Mark Mingo by a colleague and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Mark and his team were easy to work with, responsive, and very friendly. I would give him 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Kristen S
Always prepared, never intimidated Mingo & Yankala S.C, with representation of attorney Mark, who successfully resolved our case in record time.

Mingo. Claudia G
Easy to work with Mark represented my husband and I for several years. Our cases were not typical, and required vast amounts of research and discovery. Mark was always prepared, never intimidated and represented us well. We got great results. I am forever grateful that he handled our case(s). Deb G
Settlement larger than I ever hoped for For never being in a situation like this before, I was scared going into it. Mr. Mingo made every step easy for me to understand and breaks everything down for you. He would contact me anytime there was any progress or changes in the case, which was nice not to be left wondering what was going on. Anytime I had a question about something, he would respond in a timely manner. Very friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him! Cody A
Really helped me out I tried to represent myself following my car accident. That was a mistake. Attorney Mark Mingo was able to turn my case around and Mark got me a settlement larger than I had even hoped for. When anyone needs an injury attorney I tell them to call Mark and his team at Mingo & Yankala! Bob K
They were very patient Mark was very thoughtful about my case and I could tell right away that he was concerned about what was happening. He knew that I was in a bad place financially and instead of turning his back he really helped me out. Anybody that I ever know that needs an attorney will be directed to Mark. He really came through for me. Thanks Mark. Scott P

Great communication and knowledge My husband and I hired Attorney Mark Mingo after our original attorney we hired pressured us, in writing, to settle our case for an amount we were not happy with. We decided to take a chance and look for another attorney. Thankfully, we did, and hired Attorney Mark Mingo. Mark got us a seven figure settlement without having to go to court. This was 41 times more than what our first attorney told us to settle for. If you've been hurt in an accident we highly recommend you contact Mark to represent you. There is a reason why Mark and his law firm have all five-star reviews from their clients. Julie J
Empathy and compassion Mark and his team did an excellent job for my company and myself. His rates were fair and communication throughout the whole process was amazing. Would definitely recommend him to anybody in need of a outstanding attorney. It was definitely a very stressful process for myself, but Mark really helped relieve stress by his great communication and knowledge on what was going on and explained everything to me very well. William H
Best decision ever My case was small compared to what Mark Mingo typically handles, however he handled it with the same amount of care and compassion. I can't thank Mark and Kim enough for what they did for me. I would recommend Mark Mingo and his law firm to anybody. Thank you again Mark for you empathy and compassion! Patty B

Always responds to my emails even on weekends I sustained an disabling injury while staying at a Wisconsin hotel. I wasn't considering a legal remedy. Instead, I was trying to represent myself with the insurance company. Mistake! It became clear that I was in over my head, because all I was getting from the insurance adjusters was delay, diversion of blame onto others and frustration. In searching for a personal injury attorney on the Internet, I found Mark Mingo whose firm is in Milwaukee. I got very lucky! I highly recommend Mark to you. He is very professional with years of experience in both negotiation and litigation. Mark has worked both sides of personal injury law. He has defended insurance companies and sued them. He knows the legal landscape and has a working knowledge of many opposing lawyers and trial judges in Wisconsin. I was able to understand the legal process because Mark explained it well as i went through it. You can find his firm on the Internet listed as Mingo & Yankala S.C. If your case has merit and Mark is your attorney, I believe that you too will give Mark your strong endorsement. Robert N
Anonymous Mark and his team did a great job in handling my case. Great customer service, very quick response and when I needed some extra help them came through and really stepped it up. They did a great job explaining some difficult legal concepts. Mark would always respond to my e-mails even on weekends and after hours. I am very grateful for Mark and his team for all their support and hard work. Michael
Excellent in maintaining communication I hired Attorney Mark Mingo to represent me in a motor vehicle case. Throughout the entirety of my case, Attorney Mingo was excellent in maintaining communication in regards to updates and steps to expect. His professionalism and his wealth of knowledge brought me comfort since I knew that he had the experience and skill to represent me every step of the way.
Very informative and compassionate I was involved in a motor vehicle accident a few years back and have been suffering from neck and back pain for some time. I was constantly going from doctor to doctor. This process seemes to last forever but Mark would keep on checking in on me to ask how things were going to prepare the case for the next step. He worked diligently and was extemely paitent and understanding. Overall I am extremely pleased with the service he provided and would highly recommend him to anybody in need of a phenomenal attorney. Daniel
Settlement that was more than I expected Mark Mingo was the right man for the job in my case. He and his team were on top of every situation, very informative and compassionate. I always felt that my life was in great hands with Mark. He was always there for me and I'm extremely greatfull to him and everything he's done for me...if I were to ever need an attorney again in the future I would go right back to Mark .. Christine
Excellent attorney Attorney Mark Mingo was very professional and thorough in handling my case. Mark or his assistant kept me updated with the proceedings, and clearly explained my options. Someone was always available and helpful when I called. We settled without going to court. I received a settlement that was more than I expected. Floyd
Very satisfied with the outcome i think mark mingo is a excellent attorney and person, he listens very well and does the best with the tools he has to work with. I think he was pined with things the insurance company also knew was told by my so called chiropractor FRIEND ? American family is a bign company to fight. I think he did his best Marshall
Exceeded our expectations ten fold I had a great experience working with ,mark mingo.law firm,he made sure all the information,that was needed in my case.he was also honest and upfront..I was very satisfied with the outcome.I would recommend this law firm to anyone. Melvin V
So easy to work with Attorney Mark Mingo was the third lawyer that I contacted regarding my daughters car accident. After talking and explaining the situation about my daughters accident with Mark, I knew that he was the attorney for my daughters case. He put himself in my position with what the insurance company was trying to do to my daughter and exceeded our expectations ten fold. He represented my daughter as if she was his own daughter. He was very personable and fought hard for my daughter. I will always use Mark in any case that might arise in the future. Thank you for a job well done. James
Explained every step of the process In January of 2014, my husband and I were in a serious accident. We had no idea where to turn or who to turn to. A friend recommended Mark. From day one Mark was so easy to work with. He explained to us step by step the process we were about to go through. Throughout our entire case he was always honest about what was going on. Any time I had a question or concern, he was only an email or phone call away. He always responded in a very timely manner and had all the information needed. Mark also has an incredible staff within his office. Any time I called, the people I spoke with were very polite. They take the time to get to know you and go out of their way to help in any way possible. Mark went above and beyond to get us the best possible settlement as well as helped lower our out of pocket medical bills. We were very, very pleased with the service we received and would definitely recommend Mark to family and friends in the future Irene
Was expecting absolutely nothing In January of 2014, my wife and I were in a serious accident. This has changed our lives. A friend of ours recommended Mark. Mark was so easy to work with. He explained every step of the process we were about to go through. Throughout our entire case he was always honest and straight about what was going on. Any time I had a question or concern, all I had to do is email or phone call. He always responded in a very timely manner and had all the information needed. Mark also has an incredible staff within his office. Any time my wife or I called, the people that we spoked with were very polite. They take the time to get to know you and go out of their way to help in any way possible. Mark went above and beyond to get us the best possible settlement as well as helped lower our out of pocket medical bills. We were very pleased with the service we received and would definitely recommend Mark to our family and friends in the future. Thank you Robert
Nothing less than top notch Mark is a great and professional lawyer. The original call to him started off as a free consultation, in which I ended up retaining him. I was passenger (backseat) in a car accident where the driver went off road and caused the car to rollover. I ended up having to go to hospital and diagnosed with a fractured spine. At the time I was living with my mother, and neither I nor the driver had car insurance at the time. Mark was still willing to look into it and take it on. Some how some way he found a stipulation in my mothers car insurance contract. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know exact wording, but because she had car insurance and I lived with her, I was able to be covered!! Here I was expecting absolutely nothing because the driver had no insurance, but Mark pulled it off. I had one phone interview with insurance company at Mark's office, and about one week later I got my settlement money. I paid him with that money, nothing up front!! I would recommend Mark Mingo to anyone who is looking for a personal injury lawyer. Professional, friendly, but still tough enough to get the job done. Joe
Such a comfort Although my case was was not a large lawsuit,I never felt that it was'nt so with Attorney Mark Mingo. The entire staff was nothing less than top notch,attentive,professional,responsive,and just nice and friendly. Initially I was unsure whether or not to seek legal help.I didn't know what to expect,or how to proceed the correct way. My decision to have Mark work out a settlement on my behalf (not a lawsuit) was more than I could certainly do on my own. This firm had my best interests from the start,along with a straight forward,assertive,winning approach. Just what you should expect! With my very positive experience with Attorney Mark Mingo, I certainly recommend him to anyone who may be in need of legal representation,or just considering such. Jim K
Settlement of over $1M Automobile accidents can be scary and confusing! Having someone who could answer my questions knowledgeably and address my concerns was such a comfort. Though my injuries were not severe, navigating the insurance companies and medical bills was difficult and being able to place it in the hands of someone far more capable than I was a huge blessing! Heidi
Respectful and honest As a client of Mark Mingo I can not say enough of how Professional and thorough he is as an attorney. Mark and his team go into representing a client 110%. I received a settlement of over $1,000,000 dollars because I followed their advice and trusted them to the end. As far as my wife and I are concerned there is no other firm in Wisconsin that I would recommend! So if you need representation for any problems you can’t handle all I can say is to contact Mark Mingo !!! :-)" David G.
Became a friend Mark Mingo represented me as a result of a personal injury that I sustained during an automobile accident. Throughout the case I found him to be thorough, knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy. It became obvious very early that he was committed to a successful outcome for me. Mark would advise me of potential actions to be taken or make recommendations, ensure my understanding and gain agreement and then deliver on what was agreed upon - EVERY TIME! In the end, I know that I was treated fairly throughout the settlement process and well compensated for my injury and suffering. I am confident that this would not have happened without his involvement and hard work on my behalf. Mark is respectful & honest and I appreciated his efforts in ensuring that I was treated fairly. If I ever have another need for legal services he is the attorney that I will call. Thank you Mark! Tom
Settlement over 18 times that the insurance company offered Mark became a friend by the end of his work with my family. He worked in our best interests throughout the entire process. We would use him again for legal work of this kind or other matters. Stephen
Looked out for my best interest Mark Mingo was able to procure a settlement over 18 times what the insurance company offered to settle our injury claim, and we were able to resolve our claim through mediation rather than having to endure a trial. After my experience with dealing the insurance company for almost 3 years my advice is to at least consult with Mark about your case and as soon as possible after the incident occurs. Stephen and JoAnn
Great stroke of luck for me Last year I was injured in a car accident and did not know who to turn to. I called Attorney Mark Mingo from the law firm of Mingo & Yankala, S.C. He took care of everything and kept me informed throughout the entire process. In addition to being extremely experienced and skilled, he looked out for my best interests. Anonymous
Forever grateful I did not pick Mark Mingo, he was decided to be my lawyer through my insurance company, American Family. At first I was a little hesitant because I had never met the guy and figured he probably wouldn't care much about my case, not being my lawyer. As the trial came I realized how luck I was to be placed with Mr. Mingo. He is a controlled pit bull. He knows when to be tough but not in a disrespectful way. He seemed to be a lawyer that actually valued the integrity of law but knew how to handle those who resorted to manipulation. I was sincerely happy with him overall as a lawyer and, god forbid I ever need one again, would hope to have him represent me in court again. My lawsuit ended up with the verdict that the plaintiff was 100% liable and rewarded 0$ (meaning I couldn't have won more convincingly). That being said the entire firm of Mingo & Yankala seemed thoroughly professional. I only met Mr. Yankala one or two times but he seemed equally professional along with their very nice and helpful paralegal (I'm assuming, hope I'm not wrong) Mrs. Kempfer. Overall, Mingo & Yankala was a great stroke of luck for me in my lawsuit and cannot recommend them enough if you get in trouble in the Milwaukee area. He knows the law, knows the system, can be tough when he thinks its necessary but can restrain himself when it seems to be a better course of action. Benjamin
Mr Mingo listened to me and really cared about what I was saying. I was so worried about my accident, but he made all my worries melt away. I felt like God sent me a personal caregiver. He sent me letters and kept me informed. As soon as my accident was settled, a letter was in the mail. He is a very caring person, not just a lawyer. I will be forever grateful to him. I cannot ever repay him for his kindness. I would go to him again if I was ever in trouble again. Thank you Mr Mingo. Mary

No Fees Unless We Win

At Mingo & Yankala, S.C., you’ll never have to wonder how you will pay for an attorney.  We handle all cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning that we don’t charge a fee unless we successfully resolve your case.  There are no out-of-pocket fees, so you and your family can focus on recovery and getting your lives back on track, while we handle the insurance and legal process.

After a serious injury, an insurance company is typically standing between you and the compensation that you are entitled to.  Unfortunately, these large corporate entities are built to make money, not pay it out.  Every single one, whether it is the at-fault driver’s insurance company or your own, has a whole host of attorneys and claims adjusters working to minimize their liability and financial responsibility.  We believe that the contingency fee arrangement allows injured people to level the playing field in a way they would not otherwise be able to. Our attorneys, experienced in navigating the Milwaukee personal injury landscape, can counter their underhanded tactics, protect your best interests, and recover the compensation that you need and deserve.

Contact us today for a free and confidential case evaluation.  We are so confident in our services that we offer a personal injury guarantee.  If you hire us and, at any point in the first 30 days, you are unsatisfied with our representation, you are free to take your case to another firm – no costs and no questions asked.

  • Duty of care
  • Breach
  • Causation
  • Damages

For example, another driver has a duty to follow traffic laws and drive safely. If a driver violated this duty by speeding and caused your injuries and damages, they were negligent and should be liable.

Proving each element of negligence requires different evidence, and it is advised to have an experienced Milwaukee personal injury lawyer help with this process. Proving these elements can impact your financial recovery after someone negligently causes you an injury.

Wisconsin also has comparative negligence laws that can complicate your case. Essentially, an insurance company might claim that you share negligence and fault with the other party. While this can scare many injury victims, it does not bar you from pursuing compensation.

Shared negligence can impact how much compensation you can receive, but it does not always mean you should receive nothing. Under Wisconsin law, you can still recover financially if you are less than 51 percent at fault. Then, your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Our attorneys can challenge wrongful assertions of fault to ensure you receive maximum compensation. If you do share blame, we can ensure the proper percentages of fault are assigned to maximize your compensation. Discuss your options with Mingo & Yankala, S.C. Accident & Injury Lawyers.

The best way to determine your case’s value is to speak to a Milwaukee personal injury lawyer. Your compensation will depend on various factors, so always schedule an initial consultation with Mingo & Yankala, S.C. Accident & Injury Lawyers for an accurate assessment of what your claim might be worth. We will review the damages you suffered, their value, and insurance policy limits, among other factors.

First, our Milwaukee personal injury attorney will calculate damages that cover past, current, and future medical expenses. These may include:

  • Prescription medication
  • Hospital stays
  • Doctor appointments
  • Surgery
  • Medical equipment
  • Mileage to medical appointments
  • Diagnostic tests and exams like X-rays
  • Ambulance and emergency transportation

Your injuries might also prevent you from working for a period of time, or you may have to miss work for follow-up appointments and procedures. We can pursue compensation for your lost wages. Some injuries can lead to a lower future earning capacity, and if this applies to your case, we can pursue compensation for the money you would have earned without the injury.

Non-economic damages are also a consideration in injury cases, and these damages cover intangible losses like mental pain and suffering. This could include physical pain, trouble sleeping, depression, or anxiety. We know how to properly value non-economic losses.

One final category of damages you could potentially receive under Wisconsin law is punitive damages. These happen in exceptional circumstances – in cases involving extreme reckless or malicious disregard for human life by the liable party. These damages do not aim to compensate the victim but to punish the liable party for their actions. It is also meant to be a deterrent for others to not engage in the same behavior.

Damages can be confusing, but our injury team knows how to ensure you seek compensation for all of your losses. Seek a no-cost consultation today.

This question is very common among injury victims. Many times, victims are overwhelmed and want to resolve their claims quickly. They assume the insurance company works in good faith when they offer them a settlement, and they might be tempted to accept it without legal advice.

However, accepting the first offer from the insurance company is not in your best interests. It may seem like a substantial amount at first glance, as the insurance company often offers an amount that appears to cover your current losses. They do this early on before you know your injury’s severity or impact on your life, so the settlement is often much lower than you need. Once you accept an inadequate insurance offer, you cannot reopen the claim and seek more.

Always know you have the ability to negotiate for a higher offer. The insurer will not protect your interests, but our personal injury attorney will. We advise whether an offer is fair or not, and we know how to persuade insurance adjusters to offer what you deserve whenever possible.

The critical thing to remember is never to accept an offer without the right legal review and counsel. Mingo & Yankala, S.C. Accident & Injury Lawyers will look at all of your losses and fight for maximum compensation for you. Speak to our team before you accept any offers.

Suffering an injury is stressful in many ways. Many clients wonder how long a personal injury claim will take to settle because they want to put the matter behind them. This answer will vary based on individual circumstances and the details of your case.

All personal injury cases are unique, and many factors can impact the length of your case. These include:

  • The type of claim: There are different complexities with each personal injury claim.
  • Parties involved: Some claims have multiple defendants, which can complicate and lengthen the process.
  • Injury severity: This factor can affect your claim in multiple ways. First, the more severe your injuries are, the longer it can take to understand the full extent of your future losses. In many cases, the person must wait until they reach maximum medical improvement before assessing their case value. This can extend the length of your case.
  • Claim value: Claim seeking higher amounts of compensation can lead to additional pushback from insurance companies. This may extend negotiations, require litigation, and extend the timeline of your case.
  • How you resolve the case: Settlements directly with insurance companies usually take much less time than cases requiring litigation. Even if your case settles out of court during a lawsuit, we might need to go through many stages of the Wisconsin litigation process before this is possible.

The best way to potentially speed up the process is to immediately begin working with a Milwaukee personal injury lawyer. We will negotiate with the insurance company and try to resolve your claim as quickly as possible. However, if your claim does not reach a favorable settlement quickly, we are ready to do what it takes in the long run to seek compensation through the civil courts.

The key is to be patient and prepared to wait for your compensation. Mingo & Yankala, S.C. Accident & Injury Lawyers will guide you through every step and advise you on the best options available.

When you work with our personal injury lawyers in Milwaukee, you will be paying for legal services using a contingency fee structure. This means you do not pay anything upfront or out of pocket. You will not have to use your savings account to afford our services.

A contingency fee means we will only receive payment if we can get you a settlement. If we do, we will take a predetermined percentage of your award as our legal fees. The percentage will vary depending on how far your case goes, but you will always know what to expect ahead of time.

Mingo & Yankala, S.C. Accident & Injury Lawyers are always open and honest about our fees. During an initial consultation, we will discuss the fee arrangement and how it works. You can take some time to decide whether you want to move forward, and you will get a copy of the potential fees if you sign up with our firm. If you have questions about them, you can always ask one of our Milwaukee personal injury lawyers for clarification.

The time after an injury can move quickly. In many cases, victims are so focused on healing that they often overlook the legal process. While your focus should be on recovery, you have limited time to file a lawsuit. Wisconsin law allows three years from the date of injury to file a case for personal injury in civil court. In cases involving government entities as defendants, you must provide notice of legal action within 120 days, which is a very short time.

Much needs to occur before your attorney files a case in court, so you should never wait until the deadline is near to seek legal assistance. Further, evidence can fade with time, so the sooner you start the process, the stronger your case might be.

Speaking to a Milwaukee personal injury attorney as soon as possible is wise so you do not miss any deadlines or weaken your case. While your case might not require litigation, there is always a chance a lawsuit is necessary to obtain proper injury compensation.
