After a drunk driving accident, the clock starts running in several ways.
- Video evidence can be overwritten: dash cams, doorbell cameras, and business security systems often loop footage.
- Witness availability changes: people who saw the crash may be coworkers, commuters, or nearby residents who move on quickly.
- Medical documentation needs to be consistent: injuries don’t always announce themselves immediately, and Wisconsin insurers look for gaps.
- Wisconsin procedural timelines matter: while every case is different, delays can affect evidence availability and settlement strategy.
A lawyer helps you act while the facts are still obtainable—without rushing your medical care or forcing early decisions that undervalue real losses.
