Nope. Most attorney's won't even help you on a property damage claim unless you pay them an hourly fee. For an injury they will happy to represent you.... for 33% of what is paid out.
Your policy states it will defend you in the event of a covered loss for liability against you.

100% correct in Wisconsin . . . and 49 other states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the other territories and possessions of the US.
As the plaintiff, you are responsible for your own legal fees.
