- Motorcycle Accidents

Contrary to common belief, many of the motorcycle deaths and serious motorcycle injuries in Wisconsin are actually caused be other negligent drivers on the road - car drivers who run red lights, fail to yield the right of way, or are distracted while driving. It's almost never the motorcyclists fault. Despite the motorcyclists' best defensive driving; they become the victim of someone else's bad driving. At the Milwaukee law office of Derzon & Menard, we provide caring and experienced legal help to motorcycle accident victims and their families. For personal and professional legal representation in motorcycle injury cases, contact the Wisconsin personal injury attorneys at the law offices of Derzon & Menard. We provide free consultations and stand ready to help you through this difficult time.

- Scooter, Moped & Vespa Accidents

Motorists operating scooters, mopeds, or Vespas have little protection from external elements, such as other vehicles or the road. Like motorcyclists, their only protection is the helmet or protective gear - if the rider chose to utilize such protective gear. Therefore, when an accident occurs between the rider and other motor vehicles, it is almost inevitable that the rider will suffer severe or life-threatening injuries. At the law offices of Derzon & Menard, our attorneys recognize the sensitive issues that the accident victims and their families endure following such a tragic accident. We are here to assist clients with recovering the compensation they need and deserve in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

- Car / Pedestrian Accidents

Inattentive drivers can dramatically change the lives of walkers, joggers, cyclists, and other pedestrians. Tragically, many victims who are struck by a car or other vehicle suffer serious injuries or perish in the accident. While we understand that drivers did not intend for such an unfortunate event, someone needs to be held accountable. At Derzon & Menard, our attorneys are here to advocate for your interests. We offer compassionate and experienced legal help for accident victims and their families in Wisconsin. When a car or other motor vehicle strikes a pedestrian, we believe that the driver should be held accountable. Whether they were following all rules of the road or were driving recklessly, the facts remain the same - the accident happened and people were hurt. We handle car and pedestrian accidents involving the following:

* Bicycle accidents
* Car accidents involving walkers or joggers
* Pedestrian accidents involving children
* Other pedestrian accidents

- Recreational Vehicle Accidents: Boats, Snowmobiles & ATVs

Wisconsin is an optimal state for adventure seekers - Lake Michigan for the boaters, a lengthy winter season for snowmobile riders, and optimal terrain for dirt bike or ATV riders. However, with every adventure, there also comes risk. When a recreational accident, such as a boating accident, affects your family, trust in the attorneys at Derzon & Menard to provide the caring, knowledgeable, and experienced legal help you need during this difficult time.

Brain, neck, and spinal cord injuries change peoples' lives forever. Often, victims of catastrophic injuries are unable to perform basic activities of daily living, let alone work or take care of family obligations. At Derzon & Menard, we help individuals and their families recover damages after the devastating consequences of a catastrophic injury. Although at first your insurance may cover certain medical costs and lost wages, many injury victims face long term physical therapy, extensive surgery, and permanent disability, not to mention mental anguish, and even death.

- Medical Malpractice

Regardless of how busy an emergency room or doctor's office might be, people's lives hang in the balance when healthcare providers make mistakes. Derzon & Menard, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, represents clients injured in cases of medical malpractice. Depending on the injuries involved, victims of medical malpractice face disability, prolonged pain and suffering, and disfigurement. Entrusting our lives and health to physicians brings added responsibility to those that offer such care. As personal injury lawyers, we stand up to HMOs, insurers, and other healthcare professionals whose failures cause injury and death.

- Product Liability

Turning on an appliance or using a step ladder shouldn't result in a trip to the emergency room or damage to your home. At Derzon & Menard, our attorneys hold manufacturers liable for injuries caused by unsafe and defective products. Regulated by state and federal law, products must comply with certain safety regulations intended to protect the consumer. When improper labeling, malfunctioning parts, or design flaws result in injuries or death, manufacturers can be held legally liable for any injuries that occur as a result. At Derzon & Menard, our personal injury attorneys conduct a thorough, careful investigation of product failure, consult industry experts in design and manufacturing, and present evidence to support your case. We have the resources, skill, and knowledge to hold negligent manufactures accountable in a court of law.

- Landlord / Tenant Disputes

The law office of Derzon & Menard assists landlords in understanding what protections, rights, and obligations they have under the law.

Before taking matters into your own hands and paying the price for it later, get the information you need to protect yourself and assert your rights under the law. We represent landlords in residential and commercial eviction matters. Our attorneys don't let our clients act without first fully informing them of the law. Whether it's evicting a tenant or keeping the security deposit, or changing the locks withholding dispute, involving the court early in the process and following the guidance of our skilled, knowledgeable attorneys is a good way to protect yourself and resolve an issue peacefully and satisfactorily.
