If you drive on Wisconsin highways and roadways, you will often find yourself driving near or next to a semi-truck. The sheer size and weight of a semi truck places a great responsibility on truck drivers to operate their trucks safely and responsibly in order to protect more vulnerable motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians with whom they share the roads. Because any negligence on their part has the potential to cause such serious injuries, or even death, trucking companies and truck drivers are required to undergo extensive training and follow specifically delineated rules and procedures when operating on Wisconsin roadways.
Unfortunately, some truck drivers choose to disregard the rules of the road, drive carelessly in dangerous road conditions, or choose to disregard the rules that govern them, such as getting an adequate amount of sleep. Given the size of their vehicles, such conduct can have long-lasting and devastating effects the people they injure or kill as a result of their negligence.

While most people love dogs, a dog bite can happen to anyone, often without warning. Dog bites are shocking and traumatic, not only for the victims but often times for the owner as well. In a split second, a dog attack can lead to serious injuries such as lacerations, deep scars, nerve damages, rabies, fractured or broken bones, disfigurement, and even death. Dog bites can also result in serious emotional trauma and mental anguish. In some cases, the injured victim may find it difficult to be near dogs again.
Many Wisconsin dog bite injuries can happen in a person’s own house or neighborhood. If you or someone you love was bit by a dog owned by a friend or neighbor, you may find it to be difficult to bring a lawsuit against someone you know on such a personal basis. However, it is important to emphasize that many of these injuries are covered by the dog owners and homeowner’s insurance policy and not by the finances of the dog owner personally. The injured victim has a legal right to be compensated for the injuries and damages that resulted from the dog attack.
If a minor child is injured by a dog, the statutory deadline for the filing of a claim and the legal procedures used in resolution are different than for a claim for an adult. No child should have to suffer due to a dog attack. However, if it happens, it is important to make sure your child receives the financial compensation he or she deserves. Damages that the victim of a dog-bite may be entitled to include: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages (past and future), disfigurement and pain and suffering. It may also include benefits for parents, who are also indirect victims of dog-bites.
