Wisconsin Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Motorcycle accidents are disproportionately serious. Without the protection of an enclosed vehicle, riders face a far greater risk of catastrophic injury or death even in lower-speed collisions. Yet motorcyclists are routinely blamed for accidents that were caused entirely by another driver’s failure to see them or yield to them.

At Strang Bradley, our Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers push back against that bias. We investigate thoroughly, document the full extent of your injuries, and build the case that puts responsibility where it belongs.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

• Drivers failing to see motorcycles — left-turn accidents are among the most common and most deadly
• Drivers cutting off or merging into motorcyclists without checking blind spots
• Distracted or impaired drivers
• Rear-end collisions at intersections
• Car doors opening into a motorcyclist’s path

Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Because motorcyclists lack the structural protection of an automobile, injuries tend to be severe:

• Road rash and skin degloving
• Broken bones — wrists, legs, collarbones, and ribs are common fractures
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) — even with a helmet
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Internal organ damage
• Nerve damage and chronic pain

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

1. Move to safety if possible and call 911. Even if injuries seem minor, get a police report.
2. Seek medical treatment immediately.
3. Photograph your bike, the other vehicle, the road, traffic controls, and your injuries.
4. Get witness contact information.
5. Contact an attorney before giving a statement to an insurance company.
6. Preserve your gear — your helmet and jacket may be important evidence of impact forces.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• Past and future medical expenses — emergency treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Past and future pain and suffering, including permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
• Motorcycle repair or replacement
• Replacement of protective gear
