Learn which intersections are most dangerous for motorcyclists in Wisconsin and how Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin helps riders injured by negligent drivers recover full compensation.
Motorcycles represent freedom on Wisconsin’s open roads — but that freedom can come with great risk. Each year, hundreds of motorcyclists across the state are injured or killed in crashes that often occur at intersections. Even when riders follow every safety rule, one careless driver can change everything in an instant.
At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we know how devastating motorcycle crashes can be. Our attorneys have helped riders and their families recover millions in compensation after being injured by negligent drivers. We also believe in raising awareness about where and why these accidents happen most often, so Wisconsin roads can become safer for everyone.
Let’s explore the most dangerous intersections for motorcyclists in Wisconsin — and what you can do if you or someone you love has been hurt in one.
Intersections are where different streams of traffic meet — and where visibility, attention, and timing all matter most. For motorcyclists, these areas are especially risky because:
Even low-speed intersection crashes can cause catastrophic injuries to riders who have no protection beyond their gear.
While accidents can occur anywhere, state data from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and local law enforcement highlights several intersections that consistently see high motorcycle crash rates.
These locations share a common factor: driver inattention combined with complex traffic flow. While the roads themselves aren’t inherently dangerous, the way people drive on them creates significant risk for riders.
Intersections amplify many of the same dangers riders face elsewhere on the road. The most common causes include:
In each case, driver negligence plays a central role — and that’s where experienced legal representation becomes critical.
Because motorcycles lack the protection of a vehicle frame, the injuries in these accidents are often catastrophic. Common injuries include:
These injuries often require months or years of medical treatment — and in many cases, result in lifelong disabilities.
At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we fight to ensure every medical cost, lost wage, and long-term consequence is fully compensated.
Establishing who was at fault in an intersection crash can be challenging. Drivers often deny responsibility or claim they “didn’t see” the motorcyclist. Our attorneys build cases using clear, undeniable evidence, such as:
This evidence helps counter bias and establish the driver’s negligence beyond dispute.
Unfortunately, motorcyclists often face unfair stereotypes. Insurance companies and even jurors may assume riders are reckless, speeding, or taking risks.
At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we know how to fight this bias. We use facts, evidence, and expert testimony to show that the rider was following the law and the driver was negligent. Our attorneys understand the culture of riding and the realities of motorcycle safety — allowing us to tell our clients’ stories powerfully and persuasively.
Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning that riders can recover compensation as long as they are 50% or less at fault for the crash.
Insurance companies may try to use this rule to reduce payouts by exaggerating a motorcyclist’s fault. Having skilled legal representation ensures that liability is assigned accurately and that riders aren’t unfairly blamed.
Motorcycle accident victims may be entitled to compensation for:
