Introduction
John Casey has over 25 years of experience handling auto accident cases in Wisconsin and has taken dozens of those cases through jury trials rather than settling them. That trial record distinguishes Casey Law Offices, S.C. from firms that settle cases without ever going before a jury. The Milwaukee firm operates from 757 North Broadway, Suite 201, Milwaukee, WI 53202, accepts calls 24/7 at 414-272-5564, and has recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for Wisconsin accident victims.
One documented case result: a client initially offered $3,000 after a drunk driving accident ultimately received an $80,000 settlement after the firm’s involvement. That gap between initial offer and final result illustrates why early insurance company settlements often do not reflect the actual value of a claim.
Practice Areas
Auto Accident Representation
Casey Law Offices focuses its practice on car accident and motorcycle accident injuries in Wisconsin. The firm handles distracted driving accidents, drunk driving accidents, multi-vehicle collisions, rear-end accidents, rollover accidents, rideshare accidents, and uninsured motorist accidents.
Wisconsin uses a 25/50/10 insurance framework: minimum required coverage is $25,000 for injury per person, $50,000 for multiple injuries in a single accident, and $10,000 for property damage. According to Wisconsin Department of Transportation statistics that the firm cites, personal automobiles account for nearly 75% of all vehicle accidents in the state. Understanding the insurance landscape that governs most Wisconsin accident claims is part of the firm’s operational knowledge.
The firm’s approach to each case is to maximize the claim rather than resolve it quickly at a lower value. This means building the case with the preparation required for trial, which in turn gives the firm stronger negotiating position with insurance carriers. Insurers who know a firm will go to trial do not make the same early lowball offers they make to firms that routinely settle.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Drunk driving accident cases appear prominently in the firm’s record. The $80,000 settlement result for a client initially offered $3,000 was a drunk driving case. These cases often involve clear liability, but insurance coverage limits and the actual damages require careful analysis. The firm has favorable verdicts at jury trial specifically for auto accidents and severe injuries on its record.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accident victims face specific challenges: injuries tend to be more severe, biases against motorcyclists sometimes surface in the claims process, and insurance adjusters may attempt to reduce claims by attributing fault to the rider. Casey Law Offices represents motorcycle accident victims with the understanding of those dynamics.
Uninsured Motorist Cases
When an at-fault driver carries no insurance or insufficient coverage, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may provide the primary source of recovery. The firm handles claims against uninsured motorists and the client’s own carrier when applicable.
Attorney Profiles
John Casey
John Casey has practiced auto accident and injury law in Wisconsin for over 25 years. He has taken dozens of jury trials to verdict in that time, a record that most personal injury attorneys cannot match. The firm’s millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements reflects his career accumulation of case results. Casey’s approach emphasizes personalized client service alongside genuine trial experience, avoiding the pattern common among high-volume firms of settling quickly at whatever the insurer offers first.
Location and Service Area

Client Focus
Casey Law Offices serves Wisconsin residents injured in automobile and motorcycle accidents, particularly cases where the initial insurance offer does not reflect the actual value of the claim. The firm’s contingency fee structure means no fees are charged unless the firm wins. This arrangement aligns the firm’s interests with the client’s: there is no incentive to resolve a case cheaply.
The 24/7 phone availability reflects a recognition that accident victims need information and guidance immediately after a crash, not at the next available appointment. Early legal involvement affects evidence preservation, recorded statement management, and communication with insurance adjusters, all of which influence the final outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Wisconsin’s minimum auto insurance requirement?
Wisconsin requires at least $25,000 in bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 per accident for multiple injuries, and $10,000 for property damage. Many accidents involve damages that exceed these minimums, which is where underinsured motorist coverage and other sources of recovery become relevant.
Does the firm handle cases where the at-fault driver has no insurance?
Yes. Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims are part of the firm’s practice. When the at-fault driver cannot cover the damages, the client’s own policy may provide recovery through the uninsured motorist provision.
What was the $80,000 case result referenced by the firm?
That result involved a drunk driving accident victim who was initially offered $3,000 by the insurance company. After Casey Law Offices took the case, the matter resolved for $80,000. This is a specific documented outcome the firm cites as illustrative of the difference between initial offers and actual case value.
Does the firm take cases to trial?
Yes. John Casey has handled dozens of jury trials in his career, and the firm builds every case with trial readiness in mind. This preparation affects how insurance companies respond during the claims process.
How does the contingency fee arrangement work?
Clients pay no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation on their behalf. The firm works on a percentage of the recovery, meaning the attorney’s interest is in maximizing the outcome.
