Hurt in a Motorcycle Crash in Beloit? We’re Here to Fight for You
Beloit is a city with soul. Whether you’re riding past the Ironworks, coasting along the Rock River, or heading west on Highway 81 toward Brodhead, there’s something about riding here that just hits different. You’re close to the Illinois border, but the roads still feel wide open. Until they’re not.
Because the reality is, one careless driver can turn a good ride into a life-altering wreck.
If you were hit by a car while riding in Beloit—or you lost someone you love in a motorcycle crash—you’re not alone. And you’re not just another case to us.
We’re McCarthy Motorcycle Law—Wisconsin’s Motorcycle Law Firm.
We don’t handle slip-and-falls or dog bites. We represent injured riders and families who’ve been through hell—and want someone who understands what they’re going through and knows how to fight back.
We see you. We hear you. And we’ve got your back.
We Know the Roads—and the Risks—Around Beloit
From crowded intersections downtown to wide rural roads on the outskirts, Beloit has its fair share of hazards for motorcyclists. A lot of our cases start with someone in a car who “didn’t see the bike”—or didn’t bother to look.
Riders around Beloit face real danger on:
Highway 81, especially near Cranston Road and Prairie Avenue
I-43, where high speeds and reckless merging put riders at risk
Milwaukee Road, with stop-and-go traffic, tight turns, and distracted drivers
Shopiere Road and Riverside Drive, where traffic volumes increase during events and weekends
Park Avenue and 4th Street, near Beloit College and the riverfront
County Roads G, D, and Q, where rural intersections often lack signage or visibility
Whether you were hit on a busy highway, in a roundabout, or on a quiet two-lane, the dangers are real—and the consequences can be devastating.
Representing Riders Throughout Rock County
We fight for riders injured in and around:
Beloit
South Beloit (if crash occurred on Wisconsin side)
Clinton
Newark
Turtle
Town of Beloit
Town of Rock
And throughout Rock County and the southern border region
If your crash happened near the state line or along a county road, we’ll still take your case—and treat it with the same urgency as a crash on a main highway.
Common Motorcycle Crashes in the Beloit Area
Most motorcycle accidents aren’t caused by riders. They’re caused by drivers who weren’t paying attention, weren’t looking, or didn’t care.
Here are the crash types we see most in Beloit:
Left-turn accidents, where a car turns across the rider’s path at intersections like Prairie & 4th or Milwaukee & Cranston
Unsafe lane changes, especially on I-43 or the on-ramps connecting to Highway 81
Failure to yield, often at roundabouts, parking lot exits, or rural intersections
Rear-end collisions, where drivers fail to see a stopped motorcycle at a light or stop sign
Dooring incidents, downtown or near residential streets where people swing open a car door without looking
Gravel and debris, especially on county roads or after storms
Distracted driving, including texting, GPS use, or rubbernecking near the riverfront
Aggressive or impaired driving, particularly at night or on weekends
And every time, it’s the rider who takes the brunt of the damage—physically, financially, and emotionally.
We Represent Riders With Serious, Life-Changing Injuries
Motorcycle crashes don’t leave you with minor bumps and bruises. These are major trauma cases that can take months or years to recover from—if full recovery is even possible.
We fight for riders who have suffered:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Even if you were wearing a helmet, you can still suffer head trauma that affects memory, emotions, personality, and long-term function. These cases require expert medical support—and we bring it.
Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
From herniated discs to permanent paralysis, spinal injuries impact your ability to move, work, ride, or live independently.
Amputations and Crush Injuries
We’ve helped clients who’ve lost arms, legs, or suffered severe crush injuries that require multiple surgeries and prosthetics.
Multiple Broken Bones
Broken wrists, ribs, legs, pelvis—these are common in motorcycle crashes, and they can keep you off the road and out of work for months.
Severe Road Rash and Burns
We take these injuries seriously, especially when they involve infection, permanent scarring, or the need for skin grafts.
Internal Injuries
Bleeding, punctured organs, and collapsed lungs can be deadly if not treated quickly—and they can be overlooked without proper diagnostics.
Nerve Damage
If you’ve lost feeling or control in your limbs after a crash, you may have permanent nerve damage—and that needs to be part of your case.
PTSD and Emotional Trauma
Some injuries are invisible. If you can’t sleep, if you’re afraid to ride, if the crash plays in your head on repeat—you deserve to be compensated for that, too.
Representing Families After Fatal Motorcycle Crashes in Beloit
If your loved one died in a motorcycle accident near Beloit, we are so sorry for your loss. There is no way to fix what happened. But we can help you find accountability—and maybe a little peace.
We represent spouses, children, and parents in wrongful death cases involving fatal motorcycle crashes. These cases can help recover:
Funeral and burial costs
Medical bills related to the crash
Loss of income and future financial support
Loss of love, companionship, and guidance
Pain and suffering
Punitive damages, if the driver’s behavior was especially reckless
You don’t have to go through this alone. We’ll walk beside you, every step of the way.

Do not talk to the insurance company. Not theirs. Not yours. Not yet.
