Dangers for motorists in Wisconsin often change with the seasons. Springtime brings more leisure drivers, especially motorcyclists, and people must raise their attention levels. Winter often means the roads are coated with ice and snow, which can lead to massive accidents involving many vehicles.
But many dangers exist year-round, as drivers can always make mistakes or ignore important details when they are distracted by cellphones or other objects on the road. This is why people in Wisconsin must always take extra care on the road, especially at high speeds or in congested areas.
The Badger State’s system of higher education was thrown into mourning by an unexpected tragedy when the wife and daughter of a basketball team staff member were killed on the M-14 highway in Washtenaw County.

People who were injured in motor vehicle accidents or lost family members as fatalities on the road have the right to claim financial damages to help move past the trauma and loss of the crash. This may include compensation for pain and emotional distress as well as reimbursement for related costs like medical care. An attorney can help elucidate these options and figure out the best way forward after a tragic event.
