What Insurance Covers Pedestrian Accidents in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, multiple types of insurance may apply in a pedestrian accident:
- Driver’s liability insurance: In many cases, this is the first source of payment.
- Your auto insurance: If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, it may apply even though you weren’t in a vehicle.
- Health insurance: It may help with immediate treatment, but may not cover everything.
- MedPay or personal injury protection (PIP): If included in your or the driver’s policy.
Our attorney for injured pedestrians in Madison will review every possible source of insurance coverage to make sure nothing is left on the table.

Meeting Wisconsin’s Filing Deadline for Pedestrian Injury Cases
The deadline to file a pedestrian injury case in Wisconsin depends on how the accident happened.
- If you were hit by a car, you generally have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit under Wis. Stat. § 893.54.
- If your injury didn’t involve a motor vehicle—for example, if you tripped on a sidewalk or were struck by a bicycle—you may have a different deadline, depending on who is responsible (like a private business or a government agency).
Some exceptions may apply, especially if a government entity is involved or the injured person is a minor. Because deadlines can vary, it’s important to speak with a lawyer from our team as soon as possible to protect your right to recover damages.
Deadlines in Cases Involving Fatal Injuries
For wrongful death lawsuits, the deadline is two years from the date of death if the accident involved a motor vehicle. If a government entity is involved (such as a city bus or poorly maintained crosswalk), you may have even less time to act.
No matter the deadline, it’s better to get legal help as soon as possible. The sooner we begin working on your case, the better chance we have of preserving evidence and protecting your rights. If you miss the deadline, you won’t be able to move ahead with your case.
