Serious & Permanent Injury
Compensation for the Long Term
A serious personal injury can be life-changing. Many victims can no longer work or enjoy favorite activities, and everyday life is one challenge after another. The Janesville law firm of Meier, Wickhem, Lyons & Schulz strives for settlements that cover future care, lost earnings and the profound personal loss.
Trial lawyers Jim Wickhem and Terry Lyons fight for comprehensive compensation, representing victims of severe and permanent injury in Rock County, Walworth County, Green County and across southern Wisconsin. Call 877-692-2098 for a free, one-on-one consultation.
Devastating Injuries
Meier, Wickhem, Lyons & Schulz has secured millions of dollars in compensation for all types of serious personal injury, including:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Paralysis (spinal cord damage)
- Severe burns and explosion injuries
- Back injury/neck injury
- Broken bones
- Disabling knee, hip and shoulder injuries
- Eye injury
These cases have run the gamut — auto or truck accidents, collisions with trains, motorcycle crashes, pedestrians or bicyclists hit by cars, farm machinery accidents, occupational accidents, and slip and falls.
Covering Future Needs
The medical bills alone can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the insurance companies may offer what seems like a lot of money. But that money has to cover many needs for many years to come. We consult life care planners, physical therapists, doctors and nursing specialists to determine the costs of future medical care: round-the-clock aides, surgery, physical rehab, medications, prosthetics and medical devices. We also work with economists and vocational specialists to determine what work our client could do and how much their earning capacity is reduced over a lifetime. Lastly, we seek damages for pain and suffering.
Experts are necessary and expensive. Meier, Wickhem, Lyons & Schulz pays those costs up front. In the process of securing a settlement or jury award, we maximize our client's net proceeds by negotiating with health care companies to continue insurance benefits and reduce their liens against the settlement. In substantial cases, we also assist our clients in establishing a trust or structured settlement to ensure that the money is there for the years ahead.
