Motor vehicle accidents in Wisconsin
Wisconsin's crash volume centers on the southeastern corner — Milwaukee and its suburbs along I-94, which runs south to the Illinois line and Chicago traffic, and west to Madison, the state capital. I-43 links Milwaukee to Green Bay, and I-90/94 carries interstate freight through the center of the state.
Harsh Midwestern winters, lake-effect snow off Lake Michigan, and heavy seasonal traffic to the Wisconsin Dells and Door County all contribute to the collision rate. Between the Milwaukee metro, Madison, the Fox Valley, and Green Bay, there is steady accident volume for a firm that reaches claimants fast.
Wisconsin injury law that shapes these cases
Wisconsin is an at-fault (tort) state — the responsible driver and their insurer pay for the injuries, with no PIP-first requirement.
The statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is three years from the date of the accident.
Wisconsin applies modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar, framed in the statute as "not greater than" the other party's negligence: a claimant recovers only if they are 50% or less at fault, with recovery reduced by their share; at 51% or more, they recover nothing.
Wisconsin also requires uninsured motorist (UM) coverage — a policy must carry at least 25/50 in UM bodily injury — which is relevant when a claimant's crash involved an uninsured driver.
- Statute of limitations: 3 years for personal injury.
- Fault system: at-fault / tort (no PIP).
- Negligence rule: modified comparative, 51% bar.
- Minimum liability: 25/50/10; UM required at 25/50.
How we screen Wisconsin leads
We run our own motor-vehicle-accident campaigns across Wisconsin markets, capture each claimant ourselves, and qualify on a recent accident, a reported injury, and that the claimant was not the at-fault driver.
Because Wisconsin bars recovery at 51% fault, the not-at-fault screen keeps you from spending on claimants who couldn't recover — so your intake team works viable cases, not dead files.
Wisconsin advertising & lead-gen compliance
A lead is only as safe as the way it was generated — and in Wisconsin, an improperly sourced lead can create liability that lands on the firm that buys it, not just the vendor.
The federal TCPA requires prior express consent before marketing calls or texts reach a consumer. The FCC's one-to-one consent rule was vacated by the 11th Circuit in January 2025, so it is not in force, but valid consent is still required and the FCC's consent-revocation rules (effective April 2025) mean opt-outs must be honored promptly. On advertising, the Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules of Professional Conduct (SCR 20:7.1–7.3) prohibit false or misleading communications about a lawyer's services and regulate solicitation of prospective clients.
Kurios is designed to keep firms clear of those rules. We run consent-based, advertising-driven campaigns: claimants come to us and submit their own information through documented, consent-based capture, so there's no cold solicitation in the chain. Our landing pages carry the required disclosures, make no outcome guarantees and no misleading "act now" language, we honor opt-outs, and every lead is delivered to one firm only. A non-compliant source can expose the firm that buys from it; a compliant, consent-based advertising source means the leads you receive don't put your bar standing or your budget at risk. (Mark confirms production-specific compliance details before launch.) For the authoritative rules behind all of this, see the State Bar of Wisconsin’s attorney-advertising rules and the FCC’s TCPA rules on telemarketing and robocalls.
Why Wisconsin personal injury firms work with Kurios
In Wisconsin the number that runs your firm is cost per signed case, not cost per lead — and exclusivity, screening, and speed are what move it. Every Kurios lead is exclusive to one Wisconsin firm (never shared, resold, or recycled), screened for a recent crash, a real injury, and not-at-fault status under the state's 51% rule, and reaches your CRM in under 10 seconds so your 24/7 intake can call while the claimant is still on the page. No washed lists, no wrong numbers, no leads sold three times over. We focus exclusively on MVA cases, run a 3-month test batch of 50 exclusive leads a month — month-to-month, cancel anytime within the 3 months, no retainer — and replace off-criteria leads, so you prove cost per signed case on your own Milwaukee and Madison intake first. See how our exclusive model compares to shared and aged lists.

See If You QualifyFrequently Asked Questions
Is Kurios compliant with Wisconsin advertising and TCPA rules?
Yes. Kurios runs consent-based, advertising-driven campaigns: claimants come to us and submit their own information through documented, consent-based capture, which supports the TCPA's prior-express-consent requirement, and our landing pages carry required disclosures and make no outcome guarantees to stay within Wisconsin's professional-conduct advertising rules (SCR 20:7.1–7.3). We honor opt-outs promptly. Firms should confirm production-specific compliance details before launch.
Can a non-compliant lead source create risk for my Wisconsin firm?
Yes. Unconsented outreach or misleading legal advertising can create TCPA and Bar exposure that reaches the firm buying the leads. Kurios avoids that by generating consent-based inbound claimants through compliant advertising, so you're not taking on someone else's liability.
What's the statute of limitations for a car accident claim in Wisconsin?
Three years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims.
Is Wisconsin a no-fault state?
No. Wisconsin is an at-fault (tort) state — the at-fault driver's insurer pays for injuries, with no PIP-first requirement.
How does fault affect a Wisconsin case?
Wisconsin uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar. A claimant recovers only if 50% or less at fault, with recovery reduced by their share; at 51% or more, they recover nothing.
Are your Wisconsin leads exclusive?
Yes. Every Wisconsin MVA and car accident lead goes to one firm only — never shared, resold, or recycled.
