Areas of Law Description

Our practice includes:

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

Our attorneys have over 70 years of experience helping Wisconsin families secure compensation after the fatality of a loved one has left them struggling emotionally and financially. We have helped guide countless families after their loved ones' fatal car accidents or other accidental deaths to provide for their immediate and long-term needs, including claims for: Medical Expenses; Funeral and Burial Expenses; Lost Financial Support; Emotional Trauma; and Loss of Consortium.

- Truck Accidents

After an accident, the trucking company and their insurance carrier will have adjusters and investigators on-site immediately, collecting evidence in their favor. You will need an experienced and aggressive attorney who will act in your best interest and protect your rights. We will perform an independent investigation and help you secure the maximum fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages and long-term care.

- Nursing Home Abuse

We believe that those providing care for the elderly or the infirm should be held accountable for their neglect and abuse. For more than 70 combined years, we have represented personal injury victims, including the victims of nursing home neglect and abuse, and helped them recover compensation for the wrong done to them. If your loved one is a victim of nursing home neglect or abuse, you can be sure we will employ all of our experience, resources and drive to fight for a successful outcome on his or her behalf.

- Medical Malpractice

Our lawyers have helped clients throughout Wisconsin and Northern Illinois for more than 70 combined years to secure compensation after the negligent injury or death of a loved one while in the care of a doctor, hospital, or nursing home facility. Our cases have included: Surgical errors; foreign objects left in the body; Birth trauma/Cerebral Palsy; Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose; Medication errors; Emergency room errors; and Nursing home abuse and neglect.

- Products Liability

Product liability cases are complex and almost always are disputed by the defendant and their insurance company, resulting in litigation in the courts. The defective products attorneys at Domnitz & Skemp provide their services during a product liability lawsuit on a contingent fee basis, meaning there are no attorneys' fees unless we recover compensation for you through negotiation or trial. We have recovered a number of multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts for our clients.

- Premises Liability

"Premises Liability" refers to a broad set of circumstances where an individual is injured or killed because of negligent design, construction, operation, repair or maintenance of a property or public area. These claims can be difficult for a variety of reasons. The success of the case depends on clear evidence of the damaged or improperly maintained property, as well as whether the owner knew about the risks his property posed to the persons who came onto his property.

- Workplace Injury

Wisconsin and Illinois employees are protected under Workers' Compensation guidelines that provide for compensation after a job accident, and negligence need not be proven. All employers are required by law to maintain a safe work environment, including proper training and safety equipment. When an accident occurs, you do not sue your employer. Instead, a Workers' Comp claim is typically your sole recourse for compensation.

- Wrongful Death

We understand the serious emotional trauma you are experiencing as you try to continue your life without your spouse, child, or other family member. At Domnitz & Skemp, our wrongful death attorneys have helped countless Wisconsin families file and recover damages through the negotiation and litigation of wrongful death lawsuits, helping them obtain many significant verdicts and settlements. Our wrongful death practice is based on a compassionate, client-focused approach dedicated to securing a timely result that is always in your best interest.

- Serious Injury

Permanent, catastrophic injuries can occur during any kind of accident and it is our job to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the maximum compensation allowed by law. Our compassionate personal injury practice at Domnitz & Skemp is clearly focused on the needs of our clients and their families as we independently and accurately investigate accidents and assess the short and long-term effects of the injuries. This independent analysis is necessary to counter claims by the insurance company and seek a reward that accounts for rehabilitation, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

- Professional Negligence

Professional negligence or malpractice occurs when an individual fails to meet accepted performance standards and causes harm to a client. This could include anything from failing to recognize warning signs of a serious illness to breaking a confidentiality agreement with a patient or client. A professional malpractice attorney from Domnitz & Skemp will accurately investigate the claims from both sides, assess the individual circumstances, and plan a course of recovery based on the facts and the law.

- Civil Appeals

Many jury verdicts are appealed by personal injury litigants because of the size of the damages award or the novelty of the legal questions resolved by the trial court. In some cases, a successful plaintiff at trial might want to answer a losing defendant's appeal with a cross appeal of his or her own, if a particular component of damages was excluded from the jury award. The Wisconsin civil appellate attorneys at Domnitz & Skemp are some of the best respected courtroom lawyers in the state, and have successfully defended many substantial jury verdicts in the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

- Bad Faith Insurance

Insurance is designed specifically to safeguard our home, property, assets, health, and family in case of unforeseen events, such as car accidents or wrongful death. The law requires that insurance carriers pay valid claims. When we purchase insurance and pay our premiums, we enter into a legally binding contract with the insurance company to honor our legitimate claim and compensate us after a loss according to the terms of the policy. Wrongful insurance claim denial leaves your carrier in breach of contract and subject to "bad faith" insurance claim litigation.
