PERSONAL INJURY

Premise Liability Law Offices Serving West Allis, WI

Premises Liability


If you or anyone in your family has been injured in a store, apartment complex, or other public areas by unsafe property conditions, including construction sites, contact the Milwaukee premises liability attorneys at the Kmiec Law Offices for a free consultation at Milwaukee & Mukwonago Call. Serious injuries can occur from falls on uneven or raised walkways, defects on stairs or staircases, wet floors, or icy conditions where snow or ice is not properly cleared.

Property owners are responsible for keeping their premises reasonably safe for commercial patrons, workers, or guests. Our slip and fall lawyers know how to investigate premises liability cases, identify the relevant insurance coverage, and present your compensation claim completely and persuasively.

Our early investigation in personal injury claims can make a substantial difference in slip and fall cases. Our on-site examination and documentation of dangerous property conditions and building defects will avoid the situation where repairs after the fact can obliterate critical evidence that can be essential to prove your claim.

Premises liability claims cover many accidents besides the classic slip and fall claims. Examples of the unsafe property cases we handle include:

  • Injuries caused by structurally unsound building elements, such as stairways, handrails, balconies, or malfunctioning doors
  • Construction site injuries, where Wisconsin's Safe-Place Law makes the general contractor or property owner liable for injuries suffered by workers due to dangerous working conditions
  • Safe place violations
  • Swimming pool accidents, including drowning or diving injuries resulting in quadriplegia

An essential feature of our representation in all personal injury cases is our careful development and proof of the damages component of your claim. It does little good to prove a defendant's liability if you can't document your injuries and losses. Our experience with presenting evidence that overlooks no component of your loss is another advantage to our premises liability clients.

As we work on a contingency fee, there is no attorney fee without a recovery. Contact the Wisconsin premises liability attorneys at the Kmiec Law Offices for a free consultation about your alternatives and our approach to proving your unsafe property claim.

Pedestrian Accidents


When the weather permits, many residents throughout the Greater Milwaukee community spend their days outdoors running, jogging, or simply taking a walk with their dog. Unfortunately, every time a pedestrian walks by the side of a road or crosses a parking lot or crosswalk, they are put at risk of being hit by a car or other motor vehicle. When this happens, it is important to retain an experienced personal injury attorney's services to pursue a claim against the negligent motorist.

At the Kmiec Law Offices, SC, we take on negligent drivers on behalf of our clients. With extensive personal injury experience, we work extremely hard to obtain maximum settlements for injured pedestrians and their families. If you or someone you love has been injured due to negligent actions, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case at Milwaukee & Mukwonago Call.

Construction Site Accidents


There are many ways in which serious injuries can occur on a construction site. Unfortunately, these types of accidents happen all too often due to the negligent actions or inactions of employers, contractors, or other third parties. Our lawyers represent victims who have been injured as the result of:

  • Falling objects
  • Scaffolding
  • Dangerous equipment
  • Improperly Coved Holes

If the negligent actions of your employer caused your injury, you are eligible for workers' compensation benefits. If a negligent third party was involved (general contractors, other contractors or materials suppliers), you may be able to file a third-party claim.

When you come into our office, you will sit down to speak with one of our skilled attorneys about your situation. We will determine the best course of action to obtain the compensation and benefits you deserve. If you have already filed a claim and it has been denied, we will assist you through an appeal. As our attorneys handle both personal injury and workers' compensation claims, we can assist you with maximizing your recovery from both claims.

If you were injured on the job, you should call one of our construction accident attorneys right away. We offer our clients free initial consultations, and we do not receive attorney fees until we recover the compensation you need. Call our Milwaukee & Mukwonago Office.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks


The attorneys at the Kmiec Law Offices in Milwaukee and Mukwonago apply their understanding of the Wisconsin statutes relating to animal attacks and the negligent supervision of pets and livestock for the benefit of clients who have been seriously injured by dog bites and accidents caused by loose animals. If a dangerous dog has injured you or someone in your family, contact the dog bite lawsuit attorneys at our personal injury law firm.

Unlike some other states, Wisconsin does not provide the owner of a pet one free bite. Not only can the owner be held liable for the injuries resulting from an animal's first attack, but double damages can be awarded for second or subsequent attacks.

Dog bite accidents can cause severe injuries, especially when small children are involved. Long-lasting or permanent injury to soft tissue, scarring, or disfigurement can frequently result. Our intensive work with treating physicians and medical experts will ensure that the physical injuries are properly documented. In some cases, psychological damage will need to be taken into account as well.

As we work on a contingency fee, there is no attorney fee unless you make a recovery. For further information about our ability to represent your interests effectively in a lawsuit involving negligent supervision of animals, contact the dog bite injury lawyers at the Kmiec Law Offices for a free consultation Call about your rights to compensation.

Bicycle Accidents


At the Kmiec Law Offices, SC, we understand the dangers and risks that bicyclists face daily. To that end, we work hard to advocate on their behalf. If you or someone you love has been injured in a bicycle accident, please contact our Milwaukee or Mukwonago law offices to schedule your free consultation with one of our experienced lawyers Call.

Most bicycle accidents occur as the result of distracted or reckless drivers. Eating, texting, or even talking on a cell phone while driving can distract a driver to the point where they are completely unaware of their surroundings. When negligence occurs, serious injuries or fatalities can result.

Some of the more common causes of bike-related accidents include:

  • Speeding
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Failure to recognize a cyclist's right of way
  • Opening car doors into the path of oncoming bikers

Bicyclists are entitled to most of the same rights that automobile drivers possess, although most drivers do not recognize these rights. Most drivers expect bicyclists to accommodate them on the roads. This lack of awareness is the reason why most bike accidents occur. It may be too late by the time a distracted driver sees a bicyclist in front of them.

Back & Neck Injury


Kmiec Law Offices has the experience and the dedication to serve your substantial needs in such cases. Injuries can include bulging or herniated discs requiring fusion surgery, discectomy procedures, radio frequency, or epidural injections. These typically result from falls from heights, crushing injuries, or motorcycle, automobile, or truck accidents. However, we also represent clients whose back or neck injuries are caused by lower speed impacts.

Our Wisconsin neck and back injury lawyers have helped thousands of clients recover the compensation they deserve for injuries ranging from chronic back pain due to bulging discs to the life-changing circumstances of quadriplegia. As we work on a contingency fee, there is no attorney fee unless you make a recovery. For more information about our ability to present your back or neck injury claims effectively, Call the Kmiec Law Office.

Head & Brain Injury


If you or anyone in your family has suffered a serious head injury in a car or motorcycle accident, a snowmobile collision, or an accident at work, please contact the personal injury lawyers at the Kmiec Law Office in Milwaukee and in Mukwonago. Our ability to document all aspects of your injury and losses can provide a major advantage to you both in presenting your claims for compensation to an insurance company and, when necessary, making your strongest possible case before a jury.

Our more than 70 years of combined experience with the investigation and proof of damages in severe personal injury cases can significantly benefit our clients in the litigation of traumatic brain injury and closed head injury cases. No one can imagine the devastation of a traumatic brain injury in an infant, a child, a teenager, or an adult. Such injuries include concussions, brain failure, loss of consciousness, cognitive disabilities, memory loss, blurred vision, and problem-solving issues. Traumatic brain injury is defined as damage to the brain resulting from external mechanical forces, such as rapid acceleration or deceleration, impact, blast, waves, or penetration by external forces. Frequently the Glasgow Coma Scale is used to determine severity. Especially in head injury cases that do not present obvious symptoms of gross damage to the brain, we are careful to evaluate any settlement offer in light of your present condition and how it might change over time.

We also represent the surviving families of accident victims whose head or brain injuries prove fatal. Our Wisconsin wrongful death attorneys have extensive experience with the proof of claims involving the victim's conscious suffering as well as the devastation experienced with the loss of a child, spouse, or parent.

As we work on a contingency fee, there is no attorney fee unless you make a recovery. Call a Milwaukee head injury lawyer at the Kmiec Law Office for further information about our ability to provide attentive and thorough client service in the most serious accident cases.
