O’Connor will look out for you when you have been seriously injured in a car accident in Kenosha, Racine, Lake Geneva, Walworth, or any of the surrounding area. At The Law Offices of John V. O’Connor, we don’t just get you money when you have been injured in an accident. We look at the whole picture. We help you find the medical care you need, help you learn how to document your injuries appropriately, and check-in with you on what you and your doctor are discussing to make sure you have all of your medical issues addressed. We connect you with Wisconsin state agencies that may be able to help you find employment that can accommodate any disability you have sustained from the accident. You’re not just a case number to us; you’re an individual with unique needs and concerns. We represent you, not just your accident. John O’Connor has a long track record of success in handling car accident cases in Wisconsin because he knows what to look for. A common misconception is that if the other driver doesn’t have insurance, or if his or her insurance is inadequate, you have no recourse. This is not true. Your own insurance policy is designed to cover you and your injuries, whether they recover from the other driver or not. We will look at your current coverage to see what benefits you have on your own policy, then we will examine the circumstances of the accident and what kind of coverage the other driver possesses. Part of the reason we are so successful is that John used to do insurance defense in the past so he knows the opposition and its tactics very well. Whether you were the driver or the passenger in an accident, we will examine your legal right to be compensated for your injuries and expenses. We do a thorough examination of the accident, including gathering evidence and possibly consulting with experts in accident reconstruction and medicine to show fault on the other part of the driver as well as the extent of your injuries. If, after receiving our demand for payment, the insurance company is unwilling to compensate you, we will go to trial to fight for your rights.

Kenosha Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawyer Kenosha motorcycle accident lawyer John V. O’Connor will ensure that you are not treated like a second-class citizen in an accident. Many drivers feel that because motorcyclists ride around with no protection surrounding them and without a helmet, they do not deserve the same consideration as other drivers. Motorcycles have the same legal rights that any other vehicle on the road enjoys and although they are not as visible as a car because of their size, they still need a safe distance to stop and they require space around them to have a “safety zone.” Many car and truck drivers fail to see motorcycles or drive too close, causing accidents that can result in catastrophic injuries or death for the motorcyclist. If you have been severely injured in a motorcycle accident, as the driver or as a passenger, or if you have lost a loved one who was involved in a motorcycle accident, we can help. John V. O’Connor has more than 35 years of experience as a trial lawyer and has successfully handled many motorcycle accident cases. He will be an aggressive advocate for you, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, showing fault on the part of the other driver, and presenting your case to the insurance company. If the insurance company is unwilling to compensate you appropriately for your injuries, John will take your case to court. He has a long track record of success in achieving justice for his clients in an ethical and responsible manner. Working to See That You Have a Good Quality of Life After a Serious Motorcycle Accident: Helmets are not required by law in Wisconsin. With or without a helmet, you are entitled to benefits when you have been injured in a motorcycle accident. We will look at your own insurance policy as well as that of the other driver to see what is available to you. We will help you find appropriate medical treatment if you haven’t already contacted your doctor and we will connect you with state agencies that will help you find a job that will accommodate any permanent disabilities you incur because of the accident. We will also calculate your potential future lost wages because of a disability that prevents you from advancing in your former career as part of the compensation you are entitled to. Call John V. O’Connor for a FREE Consultation 262-605-8400 drunk driver accident injuries
Accidents Caused by Drunk Drivers Car Accidents Caused By Drunk Or Drugged Drivers Kenosha Drunk Driving Car Accident Injury Lawyer Drunk driving accident lawyer John V. O’Connor will protect your interests when you have been injured by a drunk driver: In 2016, more than 10,000 people died in alcohol-related driving accidents according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That’s 51 people a minute. Thousands more are injured by drunk drivers every day. The knowledge that an accident could have been prevented if the person who had been drinking had decided not to get behind the wheel can make the pain of the accident more prevalent to the person injured or to the family who lost a loved one. Even if the driver who hit you while drunk has the charges against him or her reduced or dropped by the state of Wisconsin, as the victim of the accident, you can still hold the other driver accountable for his or her actions in a civil lawsuit. Having an experienced Kenosha drunk driver car accident attorney on your side will make a successful resolution of your case more likely. John V. O’Connor has more than 35 years of experience as a trial lawyer and a track record of success in achieving justice for his clients. He is well-respected by his peers and in the community for his honesty and ethical practice. John will tell you what you need to hear in order to make the best decisions for yourself as you proceed with your case. We will investigate your accident, determine who was legally at fault, and present a demand for payment to the insurance company. If the insurance company chooses not to pay for the damage done to you, we will take your case to trial. John O’Connor used to defend insurance companies so he knows the tricks that they use to avoid paying accident victims. He will advocate aggressively for you to obtain the compensation you are entitled to. You need to contact our law firm as soon as you are able if you have been involved in a drunk driving accident. Evidence can disappear or be tampered with and witnesses’ memories can fade with time. The sooner we get involved, the better it is for your case.

Kenosha Pedestrian Accident Injury Lawyer Kenosha pedestrian accident injury lawyer John V. O’Connor is your zealous advocate when you have been hit by a car. Sharing the road with bicyclists and pedestrians is the law in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, many drivers feel that as the “larger vehicle” they have right of way at all times. When an unprotected person is struck by a car, the damage done is much more severe than if that person had been in another vehicle. Injuries can be catastrophic and may include:
At The Law Offices of John V. O’Connor, we will field all questions from the insurance company, leaving you to your primary job of healing after your accident. We will investigate the accident scene, working with accident reconstructionists if necessary to show negligence on the part of the driver. We will consult medical professionals and economists to demonstrate the extent of your injuries and how they will affect your current and future earning potential. We will fight to get you the compensation you are entitled to. Bicycles have legal rights on the road just like any other vehicle. We will protect your right to ride alongside cars and hold the driver who hit you responsible for your injuries. Many people believe that when they are injured in an accident, the only insurance coverage they have is from the negligent party. This is not true. We will examine your own coverage to see what you can take advantage of, as well as holding the driver of the vehicle that hit you accountable. Our goal is to get you the resources you need to heal fully or have as good a quality of life as you are able. Call for a FREE Consultation 262-605-8400 dog bites & animal attack injuries
Kenosha Dog Bite Injury Law Attorney Kenosha dog bite law attorney John V. O’Connor fights for you when you have been the victim of an animal attack. Everyone would like to believe that dogs and cats are friendly and harmless. Unfortunately, this is not true. Every year, thousands of people, most commonly children, suffer injuries from animal bites that can cause:
At The Law Offices of John V. O’Connor, we have helped many people who have been seriously injured by dog and cat bites. We understand the physical and emotional pain these attacks cause and we will fight to get you the compensation you are entitled to. John O’Connor has more than 35 years of experience and is a well-respected lawyer in our community for his honesty, dedication, and ethical practice. If he makes a promise, not only will he put it in writing, he will keep that promise. Wisconsin does not have a “first bite” rule. A dog is not allowed an excuse if it attacks someone unless that person is trespassing on its territory illegally, in which case it is considered to be doing its job. Children under the age of 7 are never considered to be at fault if they are bitten by an animal because they are not responsible for their own actions, even if they were directly influencing the animal’s behavior. Every pet owner is responsible for his or her own pet and can be held accountable if he or she is negligent in controlling it. If an animal has bitten a person more than once, the pet owner may be liable for double or triple damages because of the animal’s history. We will research the animal’s past, consult any witnesses to the attack, and vigorously pursue justice for you. Our track record of success speaks for itself.

Kenosha Traumatic Brain Injuries Lawyer Kenosha brain injuries lawyer John V. O’Connor knows that suffering a traumatic brain injury is a life-changing event with many long-term issues that must be resolved. Getting an attorney in your corner early on in your case allows you to plan for the future, predict future roadblocks, and obtain compensation for the medical care you need now. At The Law Offices of John V. O’Connor, we have more than 35 years of experience assisting individuals through their head injury claims. We will use this knowledge to help you as well. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Guidance From a Lawyer Dedicated to Serving the Racine and Kenosha Areas: Serious brain injuries can occur in all types of accidents. When the brain collides with the inside of the skull, bruising and tearing can result, causing significant short and long-term damage. Issues with brain injuries usually arise from accidents where an individual’s head comes in contact with another object such as a windshield, dashboard, or car seat. Brain injuries can also occur without your head contacting another object. Sometimes, simply stopping suddenly can cause life-threatening damage to the sensitive brain tissue that impacts your skull. If you have recently been in an accident of any type, it is imperative to get checked out for brain injuries and consult with an experienced Wisconsin traumatic brain injuries lawyer to ensure your rights are protected. Securing Your Long-Term Interests: Speaking with a skilled TBI lawyer is important in order to ensure you receive the maximum compensation from insurance companies and all other parties involved. Insurance providers are out to protect their bottom line, not your long-term goals. With brain injuries, your long-term interests are very important because many symptoms will not show up until much later down the line. This means you could have very large medical bills to cover much later on that would not be covered by simply accepting an insurance company’s initial offer. Call for a FREE Consultation 262-605-8400 slip & fall Accident injuries
Kenosha Slip and Fall Injury Attorney Kenosha slip and fall attorney John V. O’Connor believes in holding property owners accountable when they fail to maintain safety standards. Wisconsin has a “safe place” law that requires business owners to keep their facilities as safe as the nature of the business would reasonably permit for guests and employees. This includes the maintenance or clean up of any dangerous condition that the public is likely to be exposed to on commercial property such as:
If you slip and fall because of these or other problems left unattended on a commercial property, you have the right to sue for compensation for your injuries. John O’Connor has successfully resolved many slip and fall cases, some that other lawyers turned down. He is well-known for his honesty, dedication, and tenacity when pursuing justice for his clients. He has been a trial attorney for more than 35 years and knows the tricks insurance companies will use to avoid paying victims of accidents the fair and full compensation they are entitled to. Whether you slipped on the ice and hurt your back or you fell down the stairs and sustained catastrophic injuries when you tripped on a loose board, we will work hard to show fault on the part of the property owner. Many businesses now have closed-circuit television cameras in their establishments, which allows us to see how long a dangerous condition was left before it was taken care of after someone had an accident. The cameras will also show if more than one person was injured by the property owner’s failure to correct the situation. We use these video records to show fault on the part of the property owner and get you the compensation for your injuries that you are entitled to. Call Kenosha slip and fall attorney John V.

Wisconsin Medical Malpractice Attorney Wisconsin medical malpractice attorney John V. O’Connor believes that being in a hospital is supposed to be a time for recovery, not a time to receive further injuries. Doctors and other health care providers owe their patients a specific duty of care. When that duty is broken by medical negligence, serious injuries result. At The Law Offices of John V.

Car Accidents Caused By Texting & Cellphone Use Kenosha Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer Distracted Driving Accidents Are On The Rise: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2010, an estimated 416,000 people were injured in accidents that involved distracted driving. An additional 3,092 were killed due to motor vehicle crashes caused by inattentive driving. Now that many of us seem to be constantly wired into the “information age,” some people are finding it difficult to disengage when they are behind the wheel. Texting and cellphone use are increasingly found to be the cause of accidents that cause severe injury and death. At The Law Offices of John V. O’Connor, we see this more frequently in our area of Wisconsin. We have handled many cases involving distracted driving and we know how to investigate them properly. Because of the nature of electronics, we are able to track when they were used by the distracted driver prior to the accident. We use this information to prove credibility on the part of a non-distracted driver if there are conflicting reports. Many victims of distracted driving accidents settle with the insurance companies themselves instead of working with a lawyer. If you do this, you are leaving behind a lot of money that can help pay medical bills and make up for lost wages. Insurance companies are out to protect their own bottom lines, not to help you when you have been hurt. Our law firm offers personalized service and professional representation. We pride ourselves on practicing the law ethically and responsibly. If we make you a promise, we will keep it and we will put it in writing. We will help you find the medical care you need if you haven’t already seen your own doctor and we will connect you with state-run agencies that can assist you if you are unable to return to your job because of a disability incurred in the accident. John O’Connor will put his more than 35 years of experience as a successful trial attorney to work for you. Call for a FREE Consultation 262-605-8400 civil litigation & breach of contract
