Personal injury law, also known as tort law, allows individuals to file a civil lawsuit seeking damages for injuries resulting from an accident that occurs due to another person’s negligence. It is designed to help you collect compensation to offset medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.
When you need a personal injury lawyer to represent you following a serious accident in Southern Wisconsin, there is no substitute for experience. Dillon Grube, LLC team members have successfully handled hundreds of personal injury claims and collected millions of dollars in settlements and judgments for our clients.

Personal Injury Case Process
In serious accident cases, the “will to win” is meaningless unless you know what it takes to prepare to win — and then do it relentlessly, each and every day, until the case is resolved.
We start preparing to win our clients’ cases on Day 1. In our first consultation, we give each client a complete overview of what they can expect as their case goes forward. If you begin the consultation with questions, you won’t leave without the answers. From that moment forward, everything we do is based on the assumption the claim will not be resolved unless we go to trial and win.
Our personal injury lawyers follow a multi-step process to help you win your case. We focus on the following:
- Proving the Other Party’s Liability. We gather evidence to prove the accident was the other party’s fault, including witness statements, photos, videos, “black boxes,” and expert analysis when necessary.
- Proving the Nature and Extent of the Injuries. Personal injury cases in Wisconsin demand a lot of attention to ensure no aspect of damages is overlooked. We emphasize the importance of documenting your injuries and recovery so nothing is forgotten later. We also cover the dos and don’ts of social media so you won’t negatively impact your claim with ill-advised posts. We stay on top of your medical treatment so you’ll make the best recovery possible. And we always maintain direct contact with family members, treatment providers, and employers so we have a detailed understanding of how your injuries have affected you, and present your life experience to the jury.
- Identifying the Responsible Parties and Their Insurers. When the responsible party can’t afford to compensate someone for injuries they’ve caused, insult is added to injury. Dillon Grube, LLC immediately determines the responsible party’s assets and insurance so you can focus on your recovery.
- Preparing for Trial. Nowadays, anyone with a smartphone has immediate access to all kinds of information. Because jurors are used to the “instant information” era, it is essential for trial presentations to strike a balance between moving things along and creating “slowdown moments” in which the jury is given the chance to focus on the short- and long-term consequences the injured party has endured. Dillon Grube, LLC tackles this challenge by visiting you in your home and work environments to learn exactly how your injuries have impacted you. Our trial presentation includes a mix of videos, photos, and demonstrative exhibits that enable a jury to truly understand your experience in a straightforward and meaningful way.
- Settlement? In serious accident cases, an insurance company’s settlement offer is almost always related to its understanding of how prepared and determined your lawyer is to take your case to trial. Our Janesville lawyers prepare every case for trial down to the finest detail so our clients know the settlement value of their cases before the topic is ever discussed. Because insurance companies know we are prepared for trial, they understand we are not bluffing when we say we will see them in court. Dillon Grube, LLC has the knowledge and experience to know what cases should and should not settle, and the confidence to tell our clients to take cases to court when they should.
