A Milwaukee grandmother is thankful that an incident with a street lamp did not end in tragedy.

After a crash at Range Line Road and Mequon Road's intersection, one in which the grandmother and her passengers did not report serious injuries and no serious injuries were reported by the other vehicle, a light pole came crashing through the roof of the car. The original accident saw the grandmother's vehicle being struck by the other vehicle involved in the crash. Her car continued for a short distance, eventually hitting a light pole. The pole, lingering of a moment, eventually fell through the windshield of the car below it. The grandmother was saved in the incident, sitting only inches away from where the light pole struck the car.

No one was injured in either the crash between the cars or light pole.

A new Wisconsin law is not only requiring motorists to purchase auto insurance, but keep proper identification of their policy ready in case of an accident.

The new law went into effect June 1, 2010, and asks that Wisconsin drivers keep a suitable means of identifying their insurance policy in their vehicles while driving. The law requires a policy of minimum coverage up to $15,000 for property damage, $50,000 for bodily harm to one person, and $100,000 for an accident. Failure to purchase such a policy, if caught, will result in a $500 fine for the operator of the vehicle. If, on the other hand, the driver simply cannot produce proof of a policy, a $10 fine is given, which is waived if the driver returns to a law enforcement agency with the required proof.

The only state that does not legally require car insurance is New Hampshire. Virginia allows motorists to drive uninsured, but they must pay $500 a year to the state for this privilege. Neither state advocates driving without insurance, however.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident or something traffic incident, you may be legally entitled to compensation for your injuries and damages. Knowing your rights is the first step to determining if these options apply to you. Contact the Milwaukee personal injury attorneys of Habush, Habush & Rottier, S.C., by calling 800-242-2874 today.
