Cases We Handle

Our Eau Claire legal team handles a full spectrum of personal injury and workers’ compensation claims. Whether you’ve suffered physical trauma, lost a loved one, or had your insurance benefits unfairly denied, we’re here to help.

We handle claims involving:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents. We represent drivers, passengers, and motorcyclists injured by negligent drivers, commercial trucks, or drunk/impaired motorists.
  • Pedestrian and Bicycle Injuries. We fight for pedestrians and cyclists hurt in crosswalk collisions or roadside incidents caused by inattentive drivers.
  • Slip and Fall / Dangerous Property Conditions. Property owners must keep their premises safe. If you were injured by ice, uneven flooring, or other hazards, you may have a claim.
  • Construction and Industrial Accidents. We assist injured workers in the Eau Claire area — including manufacturing and construction workers — with personal injury and workers’ comp claims.
  • Workplace Injuries and Workers’ Compensation. From traumatic incidents to repetitive use injuries, we help workers across western Wisconsin secure wage loss benefits, medical care, and permanent disability compensation.
  • Dog Bites and Animal Attacks. Animal owners can be held liable for unprovoked attacks that cause scarring, infection, and long-term emotional harm.
  • Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect. When caregivers fail to provide adequate care, we help families take legal action for medication errors, falls, malnutrition, and more.
  • Wrongful Death Cases. We stand with families after the devastating loss of a loved one caused by another’s negligence or wrongdoing.
  • Catastrophic Injury Claims. We handle complex cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputation, and other life-altering harm.
  • Insurance Disputes and Bad Faith. When insurers delay, deny, or underpay valid claims, we work to hold them accountable under Wisconsin law.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer in Eau Claire Can Help

After a serious accident or injury, many people feel overwhelmed by medical decisions, financial pressure, and uncertainty about what to do next. Trying to navigate the legal process alone, especially when dealing with insurance companies or uncooperative employers, can make an already stressful situation worse.

At Fay & Associates, we handle the legal burdens so you can focus on healing and moving forward. Our attorneys know the Wisconsin personal injury system inside and out, and we’re here to make sure your rights are protected at every turn.

Here’s how we help:

  • Conducting a Thorough Investigation. We gather evidence, interview witnesses, and work with accident reconstructionists or field experts when necessary to build a strong and fact-based claim.
  • Coordinating Medical Documentation and Expert Support. We ensure your injuries are properly documented, work with your treating physicians, and — if needed — bring in medical specialists or life care planners to help project future care needs.
  • Managing All Insurance Communications. Insurance companies often pressure victims into quick settlements or use your own words against you. We handle every communication to ensure your rights are protected and you aren’t misled or lowballed.
  • Evaluating the Full Value of Your Claim. We assess not just your current medical bills and wage losses, but also future medical needs, lost earning potential, pain and suffering, and other long-term consequences — so nothing gets left on the table.
  • Preparing Every Case Like It’s Going to Trial. Even though most cases settle, our trial-ready approach ensures we have leverage at the negotiation table. If insurers don’t offer what you deserve, we’re ready to take your case to court.
  • Guiding You With Clarity and Confidence. Legal terms and timelines can be confusing. We provide plain-language explanations, regular updates, and honest answers, so you never feel left in the dark about your case or your options.

When you work with Fay & Associates, you’ll have a team that prioritizes your well-being and treats your case with the seriousness it deserves. You don’t have to fight this alone — and you shouldn’t have to settle for less than what’s fair.

  • “Michael Fay is a professional attorney who exudes excellence.”

    Michael Fay is a professional attorney who exudes excellence. I had the immense pleasure of working with him on a personal injury case that required a lot of time and negotiation. Michael worked tirelessly to ensure the client was happy. The opposing party was not willing to approve a settlement based on his clients claims. Michael was able to foster a very tactful and intelligent dialogue with the opposing counsel to reach a very lucrative settlement for his client.
