Law Firm Overview
Free Consultation
I am Stephen B. Strnad, a personal injury attorney in Milwaukee representing clients throughout Wisconsin. I have over 25 years of legal experience, and I have handled personal injury cases almost exclusively since 1993.
I am a third generation attorney. I practiced side-by-side with my father for the first 11 years of my career. His father was an attorney as well. My commitment to quality in the practice of law is a natural result of the pride I feel being a part of this family tradition.
I work closely with my clients, sitting down with them to listen to their stories and to explain their rights in plain English. When clients fully understand their rights and options, it helps put their minds at ease.

Practice Areas Description
- Car AccidentsI have extensive experience handling car accidents of all kinds. This includes accidents involving cars, commercial trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles, drunk driving and uninsured motorists. I am familiar with all types of injuries, including neck and back injuries, brain and head injuries, injuries to children, burning, scarring and much more. I have even seen cases where an air bag deployed in a car crash caused serious injuries to the vehicle's occupants.
- Truck Accidents
An insurance company representative may try to offer you a settlement. Do not accept it unless you have spoken with a lawyer first. Firstly, a jackknife or any truck accident or semi-truck crash can cause very serious injuries. It is difficult to know how much compensation you will need until a doctor says you are finished recovering. Secondly, insurance companies routinely offer less-than-fair compensation. You have rights. An attorney can help you use them.
- Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle accidents are caused by inattentive drivers of cars. But the general public views motorcyclists as having risk-taking personalities, and many people tend to believe that the motorcyclists are often at fault when accidents occur. To overcome this bias, I work with accident reconstruction experts who help me demonstrate who was truly at fault.
- Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Drivers have a duty to be vigilant, constantly on the lookout for pedestrians, bicyclists and anyone else with whom they share public streets and roads. Unfortunately, many distract themselves with radio, smoking, eating and talking on cellular phones. Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere — at busy city cross walks just as easily as at unmarked rural crossings. I provide aggressive, experienced representation to clients throughout Wisconsin who need help recovering compensation for bicycle and pedestrian accident claims involving: Broken bones; Neck and back Injuries; Brain and head Injuries; Wrongful death; Serious scarring; Injuries to children; and Hit and run accidents.
- Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists
If you or a loved one suffered injuries because of an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you will have to turn to your own insurance policy for compensation. In a sense, your insurer steps into the shoes of the negligent driver and negotiates against you as you seek compensation. I can help you identify coverage under your uninsured/underinsured motorist policy and aggressively pursue the compensation you will need.
- Children's Injuries
Children's injuries can carry a different set of consequences than those of adults. Being injured as a child can potentially cause a host of developmental problems and it is important that you prepare for them now. I have extensive experience in dealing with children's injuries in particular. I can help your child readjust to life after the injury and recover fair compensation that will help your child live a more successful, productive future.
- Dog Bites and Animal Injuries
Anyone who owns an animal is responsible for taking reasonable steps to ensure that the animal doesn't cause injuries to anyone else. This is both a moral imperative and a legal duty. If you, a child or a loved one suffered serious injuries from a dog bite or other animal attack, take steps to recover a settlement that truly compensates you for your damages.
- Neck and Back Injuries
The most significant danger involved with a serious neck or back injury is that the injured individual may no longer be able to work in his or her chosen career. If your job involved any kind of heavy lifting, bending or long periods of standing, you may have to seek new employment. If you are unable to work any job, you may have to apply for government benefits to give you an income. I work with vocational experts and financial experts to calculate — among other damages — the amount of wages you have lost from missed work. In addition, I can help you demand compensation for lost future earnings if your back or neck injury prevents you from returning to your former career.
- Brain and Head Injuries
Serious brain injuries will always have a permanent effect on the lives of their victims. If necessary, I will work with a number of experts to determine precisely how your life has been affected. Together we will look for the answers a number of questions, including:
* Will the client be able to return to his or her old job?
* Will the client be able to hold any job?
* Can the client live independently?
* Does the client require round-the-clock care?
* How will the client's marital and familial relationships be affected?
* Is the client prevented from doing things he or she once enjoyed?
When we have a fuller idea of how your life has been affected, we can start calculating how much you will need in compensation. Your settlement should include damages for lost enjoyment of life, lost future earnings, present and future medical expenses, and any costs that may be associated with retrofitting your home to accommodate a disability.
- Scars and Burns
A burn injury can easily exhaust insurance policy limits. That is why you need an attorney who can locate any and all potentially responsible parties and obtain the maximum possible compensation through negotiation or trial. Stephen B. Strnad is that attorney with 25 years of experience. Since 1993 I have worked exclusively in personal injury law.
- Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims differ significantly from less severe personal injury cases. In a personal injury case, the victim of the accident is the plaintiff. In a wrongful death case, the victim's family steps into the role of plaintiff on behalf of their loved one. Compensation is meant to help the family deal with the loss of their family member, not to compensate the victim. You can recover compensation to cover a number of concrete expenses and other less tangible damages. However, you should keep in mind that there are limits to how much compensation you can recover. In truth, this area of law is very complex and you would be best off asking any questions you have to an experienced, knowledgeable attorney. I handle wrongful death claims, including those that involve fatal car accidents, motorcycle accidents and a number of other situations.
