Personal Injury and Accidents

`

Receive what’s fair to move forward.

No one expects an accident or injury, and the rising medical bills, aggressive insurance companies, and loss of income that follow are challenges few know how to handle. Helping individuals and families manage this complexity, Duxstad, Bestul & McNaughton offers years of experience in trying personal injury cases and securing settlements.

The comprehensive services our lawyers provide include investigating the accident to determine the liability of others, advising the client on how to deal with insurance adjusters, retaining experts to offer opinions on liability and damages, preparing demand letters to obtain the best settlement, and when necessary, aggressively pursuing the claim in court.

Duxstad, Bestul & McNaughton lawyers are familiar with how the courts in Lafayette and Green County handle personal injury cases; more important, we are likely to know potential jurors and the factors they most likely will consider in making their decision. Such local strengths can give our clients a distinct advantage in resolving their cases. We can’t reverse the effects of an accident or injury. But we can help you achieve a settlement that’s fair and allows you a secure future.
