Understanding Green Bay’s Roadway Risks And Your Legal Rights

The Green Bay community faces unique traffic challenges that contribute to a high incidence of motor vehicle accidents. According to Wisconsin Department of Transportation data, Brown County recorded over 4,200 crashes in recent years, with approximately 30% occurring within Green Bay city limits. These statistics underscore the importance of understanding local risk factors and being aware of your legal options in the event of an accident.

Local Factors Contributing To Green Bay Accidents

Several factors specific to our area contribute to the frequency of motor vehicle accidents:

  • Seasonal weather variations create hazardous driving conditions, with winter months seeing a 40% increase in collision rates due to snow and ice
  • Game day traffic around Lambeau Field increases accident risk by approximately 25% within a three-mile radius of the stadium
  • Construction zones along major thoroughfares like Highway 41 and Interstate 43 account for nearly 15% of all local accidents
  • High tourism periods during summer months and football season bring unfamiliar drivers to our roadways

Understanding these local risk factors is essential when determining liability and pursuing compensation for accidents that occur in our community.

Wisconsin Law And Your Accident Claim

Understanding Wisconsin law is essential when pursuing compensation after a motor vehicle accident in Green Bay. Wisconsin operates under a modified comparative negligence system, which allows injured parties to seek compensation when they are found to be less than 51% at fault for the accident. Be aware that any monetary recovery will be diminished according to the percentage of responsibility assigned to you.

Wisconsin also has a three-year statute of limitations for filing personal injury claims, making it important to consult with an attorney promptly after an accident.

Protecting Your Rights After A Green Bay Accident

You might want to consider taking these important steps following any motor vehicle accident:

  • Document the accident scene with photographs if it is safe to do so
  • Obtain contact information from witnesses
  • Report the accident to local authorities and your insurance company
  • Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor
  • Preserve all medical records and accident-related documentation
  • Consult with a qualified attorney before accepting any settlement offers
