Injured in a motorcycle crash? Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin protects riders' rights and fights insurance bias. Get the compensation you deserve today.
Motorcyclists face unique risks on the road. Without the physical protection offered by cars and trucks, even a minor collision can result in devastating injuries for riders. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are often blamed for accidents they didn’t cause, facing stigma from insurance companies and legal challenges when seeking compensation.
At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we fight for injured riders. We know how serious motorcycle crashes can be — and how unfair the system often is. That’s why our attorneys are committed to holding negligent drivers accountable and securing justice for Wisconsin motorcyclists.
Most motorcycle crashes result from negligence — often by other drivers who fail to look out for riders on the road. Common causes include:
✔ Left-Turn Collisions – Drivers turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle.
✔ Lane Changes Without Checking Blind Spots – Cars often fail to see smaller vehicles in adjacent lanes.
✔ Tailgating – Following a motorcycle too closely can result in rear-end collisions with serious injuries.
✔ Distracted Driving – Texting, eating, or using GPS while behind the wheel leads to deadly consequences.
✔ Speeding and Aggressive Driving – Reckless behavior gives drivers less time to react.
✔ Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drugs remain a leading cause of fatal motorcycle crashes.
✔ Single-Vehicle Accidents – Often caused by road hazards like potholes, debris, or slick pavement.
✔ T-Bone Crashes – Dangerous collisions at intersections, frequently caused by drivers ignoring traffic signals.
✔ Rear-End Collisions – Even at low speeds, these can throw a rider from the bike.
✔ Sideswipe Accidents – Occur when drivers fail to see or respect a motorcyclist's space on the road.
✔ Dooring Accidents – When a parked driver opens their car door in front of a moving motorcycle.
Because riders are exposed, the injuries in motorcycle accidents are often serious or life-threatening:
✔ Road Rash – Painful skin abrasions that may require skin grafts.
✔ Broken Bones and Fractures – Arms, legs, and ribs are commonly injured in falls and collisions.
✔ Head and Brain Injuries – Even with a helmet, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can occur.
✔ Spinal Cord Injuries – May result in partial or full paralysis.
✔ Amputations – In extreme crashes, limbs may be crushed or require surgical removal.
✔ Internal Organ Damage – Especially in high-speed or high-impact crashes.
✔ Medical Costs – Hospitalization, surgeries, therapy, and long-term treatment.
✔ Lost Wages – For time away from work and reduced future earning capacity.
✔ Pain and Suffering – Emotional trauma, anxiety, and reduced quality of life.
✔ Property Damage – Compensation for your motorcycle and gear.
✔ Disability or Disfigurement – For permanent injuries or scarring.
✔ Wrongful Death Benefits – For families who’ve lost a loved one in a fatal motorcycle crash.
✔ Immediate Legal Support – We’re available right away to review your case and explain your rights.
✔ Evidence Gathering – Including accident reconstruction, witness statements, and photo/video analysis.
✔ Fighting Insurance Bias – Insurers often try to blame the motorcyclist. We push back hard.
✔ Aggressive Negotiation and Trial Experience – Whether through settlement or litigation, we fight for maximum compensation.
✔ Support Through Recovery – We assist clients with medical referrals, treatment access, and post-case resources.
