The Lawyers To Call After a Milwaukee or North Central Wisconsin Car Accident
If you've been injured in a car accident, there are many legal, financial, and medical issues involved that require the assistance of an attorney. At Mingo & Yankala, our lead car accident attorneys work closely with clients to assist in having their medical bills paid and wage loss covered, whenever possible, while a claim is pending. Our office also handles all interactions with insurance companies regarding compensation for your injuries. If you were hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, our attorneys can review your policy to determine if you can recover under the uninsured-underinsured terms of your coverage. As personal injury lawyers, we have more than 50 years of combined legal experience. We offer sound legal advice and dedicated representation to car accident victims and their families throughout south eastern and north central Wisconsin. From our two offices in Milwaukee and Oneida County we can easily represent our clients in Racine, the Fox River Valley, Wautoma, Stevens Point, Wausau and Rhinelander and throughout the entire state.
We focus our efforts on providing efficient, personalized and ethical legal assistance to those who have suffered serious personal injury, or the wrongful death of a loved one in a car accident caused by another's negligence. When head trauma, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and broken bones are involved, we work with medical experts, and other experts to document the extent of your injuries and their long-term financial impact on you and your family.
There are no up-front legal fees to pay for the services you will receive at Mingo & Yankala. We do not charge our clients a fee until we obtain compensation for their injuries or loss.

Our Wisconsin Personal Injury Practice -- Focused on Your Recovery
Once you retain Mingo & Yankala as your attorneys, we immediately go to work handling all aspects of your injury claim so that you can focus on your recovery. We will take the time to discuss the many questions you may have, such as:
- How to take care of your medical bills
- How you may collect even if the person who caused your injury does not have insurance
- What to do about wage loss
- What your case is worth
- How you may be compensated for future medical bills and future wage loss
Settlements, Awards, and Determining the At-fault Driver in Car Accidents
The state of Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence doctrine in personal injury cases. Essentially, if the court finds you 51% or more at fault, you are not eligible to recover any damages for your losses. If you are deemed 50% or less at fault, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. For example, if you suffered $100,000 in losses but are found 30% at fault, you are only eligible to recover $70,000. For this reason, it is important to investigate and reconstruct serious car accidents to determine who was at fault. As your attorneys, we work with accident investigators and interview eyewitnesses in order to reconstruct what happened and protect you from drivers who attempt to blame you for an accident they caused.
Recovering Damages for Our Clients in Car Accident Cases
In addition to our years of experience, our law firm stands apart because we do not take a confrontational approach when presenting your case to an insurance company, corporation, or other party who is responsible.
In our experience, a confrontational approach toward settlement is rarely effective and is not in the best interests of our client. It is an unfortunate fact that insurance companies are presented with many fraudulent cases, and therefore they have the right to insist on legal substantiation of your injuries and damages before making payment.
Through many years of practicing personal injury law, we have earned the respect of the judges, lawyers and insurance companies that we deal with every day. Our firm has developed a relationship of mutual respect with many local and national insurance companies, which means that we are taken seriously when we present your claim for settlement. We do not accept or pursue frivolous or non-meritorious cases, and we believe this works to the great advantage of each of our personal injury clients.
