How A motorcycle injury lawyer can help
A Wisconsin Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help You Get the Justice You Deserve
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash—or if you’ve lost someone you love—there’s a good chance you’re overwhelmed, angry, and unsure what to do next. You’re not alone. Every year, countless riders across Wisconsin are hit, hurt, or killed because of careless drivers, dangerous road conditions, or inattentive motorists who “just didn’t see the bike.”
At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we understand what you’re going through—because this isn’t just a job to us. It’s personal.
Why Motorcycle Crash Victims Face an Uphill Battle
Motorcycle riders are some of the most vulnerable people on the road. No airbags. No steel frame. No second chances when someone makes a mistake.
But instead of being treated with the care and respect they deserve, riders are often blamed for crashes they didn’t cause. Insurance companies love to play into the false stereotype that bikers are reckless or dangerous. They’ll use it as an excuse to lowball your settlement, delay your claim, or deny it altogether.
That’s where a dedicated motorcycle accident attorney can make all the difference.
What Makes McCarthy Motorcycle Law Different?
We’re Wisconsin’s Motorcycle Accident Attorneys. There are plenty of personal injury lawyers in Wisconsin who say they “handle” motorcycle cases. But at McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we’ve dedicated our practice to them.
This isn’t just another type of case to us—it’s the heart of what we do. We’re one of the only law practices in Wisconsin that’s built around helping motorcycle crash victims and their families. We know the unique challenges riders face, and we’ve seen firsthand how devastating a crash can be.
Our lead attorney, John McCarthy, figured he’d be a lifelong rider until tragedy struck close to home. After losing one of his closest friends and mentors in a motorcycle crash while preparing to start a family, John gave up his retirement plan of riding off into the sunset. But he never turned his back on the riding community. Instead, he dedicated his legal career to helping riders and their loved ones get justice.
When you work with McCarthy Motorcycle Law, you’re not just hiring a lawyer—you’re getting someone who gets it.
We Help You Reclaim What Was Taken
Motorcycle crashes are different from car accidents. The injuries are usually more severe. The recovery is longer. The stakes are higher.
Here’s what we can help you recover:
Medical expenses: ER visits, surgeries, physical therapy, long-term care
Lost income: Whether you’ve missed time at work or can’t return to your job at all
Pain and suffering: Because physical and emotional pain are real and deserve to be recognized
Property damage: Getting you compensation for your totaled or damaged bike
Loss of enjoyment of life: If your injuries prevent you from doing what you love—riding, running, hiking, or just living fully
Wrongful death damages: If you’ve lost a loved one, we’ll fight to hold the responsible parties accountable
What If the Insurance Company Is Already Calling?
If the other driver’s insurance company is already reaching out, be careful. Their goal is simple: to get you to settle quickly and cheaply—before you realize the full impact of your injuries.
Don’t sign anything. Don’t give a recorded statement. Talk to a motorcycle crash attorney first.
We’ve seen too many people settle for a fraction of what they’re owed—only to realize months later that their medical bills are still piling up and their pain isn’t going away. Once you settle, you can't go back.
Let us deal with the insurance companies. You focus on healing.
How a Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help You
Hiring an experienced motorcycle accident attorney does more than just level the playing field. It puts you in the best possible position to get the compensation—and the justice—you deserve.
Here’s how we help:
1. We Investigate What Really Happened
We don’t rely on the police report alone. We dive deep—gathering photos, surveillance footage, 911 calls, witness statements, vehicle data, and crash reconstruction if needed. If someone else caused your crash, we’ll prove it.
2. We Build a Case Around You
You’re not just another file on a desk. We take the time to understand your injuries, your life, and what this crash has cost you. Then we fight to make sure your story gets heard.
3. We Push for Maximum Compensation
We know what your case is worth—and we’re not afraid to take it to trial if the insurance company plays games. Our background in trial law means we’re always ready to go the distance.
4. We Handle the Legal Stress So You Don’t Have To
No endless paperwork. No confusing legalese. No wondering what’s next. We’ll walk you through everything, step by step.
We Also Help Families Who’ve Lost Loved Ones in Motorcycle Crashes
If you’ve lost someone you love in a motorcycle crash, words will never be enough. But what we can offer is this: a real chance at accountability. A way to honor their life. And a lawyer who will treat their memory with the respect it deserves.
Wrongful death cases are hard. The emotional toll is massive, and the legal process can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to go through it alone.
We’ll take the time to understand your loss, investigate the crash, and fight to hold the at-fault parties responsible—so you and your family can start to heal.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
In Wisconsin, there are strict time limits (called statutes of limitations) for filing injury and wrongful death claims. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to recover anything—even if the other driver was clearly at fault.
Also, the longer you wait, the harder it can be to gather crucial evidence like surveillance footage, dash cam recordings, or fresh witness memories.
Don’t wait. Talk to a lawyer early—even if you’re not sure you have a case. The consultations are typically free, and it could make all the difference down the road.
What It’s Like to Work With Us
No pressure, ever. We don’t use scare tactics or cheesy sales pitches. We’ll give you honest answers and help you figure out your next step—even if that doesn’t involve hiring us.
No fees unless we win. You don’t pay us a dime unless we recover money for you.
Real communication. When you hire us, you get your lawyer’s personal cell phone. Not a call center. Not a case manager. Just a real conversation with someone who cares.
Local roots, national reputation. We’re proud to be part of Wisconsin’s riding community, but we’ve gone toe-to-toe with the biggest firms and insurance companies in the nation—and we’ve won.
Not Sure If You Have a Case? Let’s Talk.
Every crash is different. Every injury is unique. That’s why we offer free, no-obligation case evaluations to anyone hurt in a motorcycle crash or anyone who’s lost someone to one.
If we can help, we’ll tell you how. And if we can’t, we’ll still point you in the right direction.
