Motorcycle Accident Attorney Fighting for Riders and Families in Door County

Crashed While Riding in Door County? You Deserve Answers and Support

Door County is one of the most beautiful places to ride in Wisconsin. Twisting scenic roads, shoreline views, and the wide-open feel of places like Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, and Sister Bay—it’s the kind of place where a motorcycle just feels right. But all it takes is one careless driver, one blind curve, or one moment of distraction for everything to go horribly wrong.

If you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle crash—or if you’ve lost someone you love in a crash in Door County—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face this fight by yourself.

At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we represent bikers and their families across Wisconsin. We’ve been through this ourselves, and we’ve helped riders from Sturgeon Bay to Washington Island get justice when it mattered most. We know motorcycle law, we know what riders go through, and we don’t back down when insurance companies try to play games.

Why Motorcycle Accident Claims Are Different in Door County

Motorcycle accidents are not your average car crash. Riders face higher risks of serious injury, and they’re often blamed unfairly for crashes. The twisty, sometimes narrow roads of Door County—combined with distracted tourists and rural law enforcement—can make these cases even trickier.

What makes motorcycle crash cases in Door County unique?

  • Tourist traffic: Out-of-towners aren’t always looking for bikes.

  • Limited medical access: If you were flown to Green Bay or further, we’ll help gather all your medical records and build the timeline.

  • Rural roads: Poor signage, gravel shoulders, and sharp curves are dangerous for riders.

  • Local law enforcement: Reports might be incomplete or miss key details—especially if they don’t ride.

You need a lawyer who understands how to investigate a crash from a rider’s perspective—and who’s willing to go to bat for you even if the crash report gets it wrong.

We Represent Riders and Families Who Have Lost Everything

If you’ve lost a spouse, sibling, child, or parent in a motorcycle crash in Door County, we’re so sorry. We know how devastating it is. We’ve lost people too. That’s part of why we do this.

Wrongful death claims after a motorcycle crash can be emotionally and legally complex. But they matter. They hold the driver (or company) accountable. They can help cover funeral costs, replace lost income, and make sure your family isn’t left carrying the burden alone.

Whether you:

  • Lost a loved one on Hwy 42 or 57

  • Need help dealing with insurance companies that denied coverage

  • Aren’t even sure who to file a claim against

We’ll walk with you through it. We’ll do the legal heavy lifting so you can focus on healing.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Door County

Here’s what we recommend doing as soon as possible after a motorcycle crash in Door County:

  1. Get medical help—even if you “feel okay.” Internal injuries aren’t always obvious.

  2. Save your gear. Your helmet, jacket, boots, and bike tell a story. Don’t throw anything away.

  3. Write down what happened. Memory fades. Get it on paper.

  4. Take photos and get witness info. If you can’t, ask someone you trust.

  5. Don’t talk to the insurance company. They’ll twist your words. Talk to us first.

If you're reading this after losing someone, it's okay to be overwhelmed. We’ll take care of the logistics. You don’t have to do it all.

What Kinds of Compensation Can You Recover?

Every case is different, but you may be entitled to recover for:

  • Hospital bills and future medical care

  • Lost income and lost future earnings

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional trauma

  • Motorcycle repairs or replacement

  • Loss of companionship (in wrongful death claims)

  • Funeral and burial expenses

We don’t charge anything unless we win. And we’ll be up front with you about what we think your case is worth—and what it’ll take to fight for it.

Why Riders Trust McCarthy Motorcycle Law

We only represent riders and their families. We don’t do fender benders or soft tissue car crash cases. If it doesn’t involve a motorcycle (or maybe a bicycle), we’re probably not the right law firm.

That focus means:

  • We know the roads riders take in Door County

  • We understand motorcycle dynamics and gear

  • We can counter anti-motorcyclist bias with facts

  • We know what it’s like to get that call that someone’s been hurt—or worse

We ride. We care. And we’ve recovered millions for people who thought they had no chance.

Local Roads We Know and Watch Closely

Some of the most common routes where motorcycle crashes happen in Door County:

  • Highway 42 near Peninsula State Park

  • County Highway F and A

  • Sister Bay backroads with blind curves

  • Downtown areas in Fish Creek and Egg Harbor

  • Door Bluff Headlands Road and rustic scenic routes

Wherever it happened, we’ll track down the details.

Don’t Wait. Evidence Fades. Insurance Companies Get Aggressive.

The longer you wait, the harder it is to build your case. Witnesses disappear. Photos get lost. Bike parts get tossed. Insurance companies are hoping you delay—or give up entirely.

The sooner we get started, the better your chances of recovering what you deserve. And talking to us is free. We’ll be honest with you, even if we’re not the right fit. If we are, we’ll go all in.
