Personal Injury Attorney

Personal injury cases result from incidents of negligence or malicious actions almost anywhere, including people’s homes or properties, sports arenas, restaurants, parks, and other public areas. Our personal injury attorneys work to prove the responsible party is at fault for your injury and seek fair compensation. The process may include witness statements, photographic evidence, and previously filed complaints to prove liability.

Auto Accident Attorney

When you get injured in an automotive accident, we provide exemplary legal service to ensure the insurance company maximum damages justly and expeditiously. You already practice responsible behavior on the road with safe driving habits like buckling your seatbelt, signaling when turning or changing lanes, and staying off your phone while behind the wheel. Let our auto accident attorney fight for you when you are a victim in a traffic collision.

Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Workplace injuries can do more than break a bone or scar you. These incidents in a professional setting can take away your means of making a living, make daily life more difficult or impossible, and leave you with a mountain of medical bills. Our workers’ compensation lawyers understand every aspect of the state’s rules and details on compensating an employee involved in a workplace injury. We put together a winning case with proof of your damages and their liability while guiding you through the process to collect fair funds.

$800,000.00 settlement in less than nine (9) months!
In September of 2025, Phil Wiskow settled a legal malpractice case, resulting from a botched personal injury case, for $800,000.00. Most significantly, Mr. Wiskow settled the case less than nine (9) months after the client hired him. Since the client settled his botched case for over $200,000.00, the full amount of the client's recovery exceeded one million dollars.
Settled his 60 year old client’s motorcycle accident case for $1,700,000.00
In the Spring of 2017, Phil Wiskow settled his 60 year old client’s motorcycle accident case for $1,700,000.00. Frankly, the case would have settled for more money but the most culpable party only had a $300,000.00 liability insurance policy. The firm’s client, who was already disabled and receiving social security benefits at the time of his accident, sustained multiple lower leg fractures–which ultimately resulted in numerous surgeries and an above the knee amputation–when a delivery van blindly backed out of a loading dock and pinned his leg against his bike. The majority of the client’s settlement money was paid by the owner of a tractor-trailer and the lessee of the loading dock whose dangerous loading and unloading procedures blocked the van driver’s view of the motorcycle and the firm’s client’s view of the van.
VERDICTS & SETTLEMENTS
  • In the Spring of 2020, Phil Wiskow settled a motor vehicle/motorcycle accident case for the Defendant’s 1.3M policy limit. The terms of the settlement are confidential.
