Call (920) 684-6694 to Discuss Your Claim With a Seasoned Lawyer

We have two main objectives for our car accident clients. First, we help you get through the full range of problems that an accident can cause for you and your family. We can help straighten out problems by securing an accurate diagnosis for your injuries. We can help you avoid difficulties with unpaid bills if your injuries keep you away from work. Our lawyers will even handle the property loss part of your case for free if we’re handling your personal injury claims.


Our other main objective is to help you get the most out of your damages claim. We not only know how to investigate and present proof of the other driver’s negligence, our lawyers also focus on the medical, vocational, rehabilitative and personal details of your condition and recovery. This attention to detail helps to ensure that your settlement demand or trial presentation will be supported by clear and reliable evidence.

Decades of Experience Solving Problems on Car Insurance Claims

Because we have been dealing with insurance companies on car accident claims for many years, we also know how to work through insurance coverage problems, both with the other driver’s insurer and under your own uninsured or underinsured motorist policies. In serious injury cases where nobody’s insurance is sufficient to meet the full range of your losses, we can often find sources of additional coverage that apply to the claim, but that are less than obvious, such as underinsured coverage for another driver in the same household.


Kaminski & Pozorski advises Wisconsin accident victims whose injuries occurred in any kind of motor vehicle accident, including truck accidents, SUV crashes or rollovers, commercial vehicle accidents, auto defects cases, off-road vehicle crashes and motorcycle accidents. In fact, Joe Pozorski is a motorcyclist himself, and our law firm for many years was one of the few in the state that would represent bikers hurt on Wisconsin highways.


The attorneys and staff at Kaminski & Pozorski represent people with claims for minor, moderate, severe or fatal injuries suffered in auto accidents and other vehicle crashes. Our experience with the evaluation, settlement and trial of accident claims can help you protect your interests and get beyond the legal and practical problems. Contact us for a free consultation about your needs.

Meeting the Challenges of Truck Accident Litigation

Recovering damages for truck accident injuries is quite a bit different from auto accident litigation. Three factors account for most of the differences, and you should expect your lawyer to be capable of dealing with all of them: (1) federal safety regulations that affect how you prove negligence, (2) greater severity and complexity of injuries, and (3) million-dollar liability insurance.


At Kaminski & Pozorski in Manitowoc, our trial attorneys are familiar with the special demands of truck accident claims. From our clients’ standpoint, the most important factor is the challenge of recovering from extensive injuries or learning to adapt to a disability. We support our clients and their families throughout the ordeal of a long convalescence. From a legal standpoint, the availability of commercial liability coverage is a very significant factor that affects the way we present and pursue damages demands.


We Know How to Protect Your Interests in Wisconsin Truck Accidents

In a bad car accident, the available insurance usually falls far short of what the victim needs to cover the full range of losses. Once we establish our ability to prove negligence, the case will usually settle for the policy limits, if it’s clear that our client’s damages are substantially greater than that amount.


Where commercial vehicle insurance is available, however, the defense has a much stronger interest in resisting payment. It will therefore insist on detailed proof of all of the injuries and losses, and it can be hard to close the gap between a $1.4 million demand and a $415,000 offer. This problem doesn’t come up in the typical car accident case, because the insurance coverage simply isn’t there.


Our attorneys know how to develop and present the evidence of past losses and future treatment expenses in a form that lets the insurance company know that we can prove your claims at trial if we have to. We work with medical, vocational and rehabilitative experts to back a demand up with highly credible evidence that covers not only your past and current condition, but also your future needs.


In Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Appleton, or Green Bay, Call (920) 684-6694

Your accident doesn’t need to involve a semi truck to reach commercial liability insurance. Just about any vehicle driven for occupational purposes — farm vehicles, delivery vans, charter buses or maintenance trucks — is likely to be covered by liability insurance that starts at $1 million per covered claim. With 40 years of experience in the investigation and presentation of complex accident claims, our law firm can help you understand your legal options while helping you with the practical consequences of a serious accident.

Sound Advice About Motorcycle Accident Claims in Wisconsin

Every year, thousands of people are killed in motorcycle accidents across the country. Thousands more suffer serious injuries as the result of such accidents. If you or a member of your family has been seriously injured in a Wisconsin motorcycle accident, an experienced lawyer may be able to help you recover compensation.


Whether your accident was caused by the negligence of another driver, dangerous roadways or a defective motorcycle part, you have the right to sound legal advice and representation. That is what we at Kaminski & Pozorski provide. Personal injury law is a major focus at our firm and has been for more than 40 years. We are aggressive in pursuing full compensation for injured motorcycle riders in our region.


Overcoming Obstacles in Motorcycle Accident Cases

Our Manitowoc motorcycle accident attorneys understand the challenges presented by bike accident claims, especially if the case goes to a jury. Many drivers of cars and trucks simply do not understand the dynamics of motorcycles. As a result, they tend to blame the rider, believing that he or she must have contributed to the accident in some way.


Attorney Joseph Pozorski, Jr. is an avid motorcyclist himself. Our law firm for many years was one of the few in the state that would represent bikers hurt on Wisconsin highways. We understand how riders are sometimes treated on the road. This gives our firm unique insight into motorcycle accidents and their effects on entire families.


In Wisconsin, where an injured person cannot recover any compensation if found more than 50 percent at fault, these feelings can have major consequences. Insurance company lawyers are well aware of this legal rule, and they do everything they can to persuade jurors that the rider was mostly at fault.


That is why the legal team here at Kaminski & Pozorski thoroughly prepares each case, working with accident investigators, reconstructionists and others to help prove that the rider was truly a victim. Once the right to compensation is established, we then work with doctors, life care planners and other health professionals to assess the damage resulting from motorcycle accident injuries. We seek full compensation for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical bills
  • Rehabilitation and ongoing care
  • Past and future lost wages
  • Emotional distress

In addition to personal injury claims, we are available to help families pursue wrongful death claims if they have lost a loved one in a Wisconsin motorcycle crash.

Premises Liability: Claims for Injuries Suffered on Another’s Property

Every day injuries occur on another’s property which are not the fault of the person injured. Accidents can happen at stores, homes, swimming pools, farms and in factories.


In cases other than workplace injuries, the person who is injured through the fault of another may be entitled to compensation. In workplace accidents, injured employees may be entitled to compensation irrespective of whether the accident was caused by the negligence of another.


Slip and falls are notoriously complicated, and many petitions fail. At Kaminski & Pozorski, our Wisconsin trial lawyers understand the nuances and methods needed to prove a premises liability case. A thorough understanding of the law and how it is applied to a particular case is required.


If you or a family member have been injured in a premises liability case or a slip and fall case you may be entitled to compensation in the form of medical expenses, future medical costs, lost wages, future loss of earnings and past and future physical and emotional pain, suffering and disability.


The Wisconsin trial lawyers at Kaminski & Pozorski strive to provide effective and quality representation to those individuals and their families who have suffered a loss as a result of an accident.

Products Liability: When Dangerous Products Cause Serious Injuries

Many people are seriously injured, or even killed, every year as the result of a dangerous or defective product. When a company produces or sells a defective product that falls in the hands of a trusting consumer, that company may be held liable for the consumer’s injuries and damages. Other companies or institutions along the way, whether they are those involved in the testing, or distribution of the product, may also be held accountable for the injury.


At Kaminski & Pozorski, our Wisconsin products liability attorneys have successfully represented our clients who have been injured by dangerous and defective products. We aggressively pursue damages from the makers and distributors of defective products to cover medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earnings, physical and emotional pain and suffering, as well as funeral expenses in those unfortunate cases that involve the death of an innocent consumer.


The lawyers at Kaminski & Pozorski also help in the enlistment of other professional disciplines, including engineers, in order to prepare the cases for settlement or trial. These experts are necessary because the law regarding products liability is complicated and requires expert testimony to inform jurors, and insurers about the products defect.


If you have been injured as the result of a defective product, it is important to contact Kaminski & Pozorski's Wisconsin product liability attorneys as soon as possible so that representation can be made as effective as possible.

Sound Advice for Wisconsin Work Injury Claims

The personal injury lawyers of Kaminski & Pozorski represent people who have been hurt on the job. We handle workers’ compensation claims as well as civil lawsuits for negligence against defendants who are unrelated to our client’s employer. In some situations, you’ll have the right to pursue both legal remedies. Contact our office for advice about the legal options that apply in your situation.


Call (920) 684-6694 for Advice About Injuries at Work

The workers’ compensation system protects workers by providing lost income and medical treatment for work-related injuries without the need to prove anyone’s negligence. You can’t sue your own employer or a fellow worker, however, and the range of losses covered by workers’ comp falls fall short of the damages you can recover in a personal injury lawsuit.


At Kaminski & Pozorski, our attorneys can review the circumstances of your injury and advise you about your rights. If you can file for workers’ compensation and at the same time develop a case for personal injury damages, we are well equipped to handle both cases.


We advise workers with injuries ranging from fractures or herniated discs to disabling brain or spinal cord trauma. The kinds of cases we handle include:

  • Construction site accidents
  • Freight yard or warehouse accidents
  • Truck or commercial vehicle accidents
  • Shipyard accidents
  • Electrocution
  • Manufacturing injuries
  • Health care or home assistance injuries
  • Strains and sprains caused by lifting accidents
  • Falls from heights
  • Industrial equipment or machinery accidents

In a Wisconsin workers’ compensation case, the focus will be on the nature and extent of your injuries, connecting the injury to your job, the amount of time you’ll be away from work, and making sure that your injuries are properly diagnosed and treated. There won’t be any need to prove negligence on the part of anyone.


In a personal injury case, it will be necessary to prove fault on the part of someone other than your employer. Defendants might include a property owner, an equipment manufacturer, or the driver of the vehicle that struck a commercial driver.


Our main client service area extends from Manitowoc County to Green Bay, to Fond du Lac and Sheboygan. For a free consultation about your legal options in a work injury case, contact Kaminski & Pozorski.
