ON YOUR SIDE FOR EVERY RIDE ✦
Wisconsin’s Motorcycle Law Firm for riders and families facing serious injury and loss.
McCarthy Motorcycle Law is a Wisconsin motorcycle accident and wrongful death law firm focused on representing injured riders and families after serious crashes. Our practice centers on motorcycle accident cases. We also represent injured bicycle, e‑bike, scooter, and moped riders as vulnerable road users across Wisconsin.
Motorcycle crashes change lives in seconds. The road that once meant freedom can suddenly mean pain, uncertainty, medical bills, and pressure from insurance companies that would rather blame the rider than take responsibility.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Wisconsin, or if someone you love was killed in a crash, you are likely dealing with far more than physical harm. You are facing decisions that will affect the rest of your life.
At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, motorcycle accident and wrongful death cases are not a side practice. They are the core of what we do.
Serving Other Vulnerable Road Users Through Motorcycle Expertise
In addition to handling motorcycle accident cases, we represent injured bicycle, e‑bike, scooter, and moped riders across Wisconsin when crashes cause serious injury or wrongful death.
Because our practice is built around protecting motorcyclists, we also advocate for other vulnerable road users who face many of the same dangers on Wisconsin roads, including inattentive drivers, unsafe passing, and visibility issues.
We represent:
Scooter and moped riders
Families pursuing wrongful death claims after fatal rider crashes
We do not treat these cases as routine personal injury claims. We approach every matter with the same rider‑focused mindset that defines our motorcycle accident practice, understanding the unique risks riders face and the serious consequences these crashes often bring.
A Motorcycle Law Firm, By Design
We are known as Wisconsin’s Motorcycle Law Firm because our practice was built around motorcycle cases from the start.
Motorcycle crashes are different from car accidents. The injuries are more severe, the investigations are more complex, and the bias against riders is very real. Many general personal injury firms say they handle motorcycle cases, but quietly avoid them or treat them like ordinary auto claims.
We do not.
We focus on motorcycle accident injuries and fatal motorcycle crashes because these cases demand:
A deep understanding of how motorcycle crashes happen
Early, aggressive investigation
The ability to push back against unfair rider blame
A willingness to prepare every case like it’s going to trial
That focus matters for outcomes.
Wisconsin Motorcycle Accident Law: What You Should Know
Under Wisconsin law, motorcyclists have the same rights as any other motorist. When a crash is caused by negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm you have suffered.
Motorcycle accident compensation may include:
Medical expenses and future treatment
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Permanent injury or disability
Scarring or disfigurement
Property damage
Wisconsin follows a comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50 percent responsible. Insurance companies know this and often work aggressively to shift blame onto riders to avoid full payment.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Wisconsin
Most motorcycle crashes are caused by drivers who fail to see or yield to riders.
Common causes include:
When negligence causes a motorcycle crash, accountability matters.
Motorcycle Wrongful Death Claims in Wisconsin
When a motorcycle crash results in death, the impact on a family is devastating. Along with grief, families are often left facing financial uncertainty and unanswered questions.
Wisconsin law allows certain family members to pursue a wrongful death claim when a loved one is killed because of another’s negligence. In motorcycle cases, wrongful death claims often arise from:
Driver inattention or unsafe turns
Speeding or impaired driving
Dangerous road design or maintenance
Defective vehicles or motorcycle parts
Compensation may include funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and damages for suffering before death.
These cases require care, precision, and the willingness to confront insurer narratives when the rider is no longer here to tell their story.
