Hudson Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Injured in a Motorcycle Crash in Hudson? We’re Riders’ Lawyers—And We’re Ready to Help
Hudson is one of the most beautiful places to ride in Wisconsin. The bluffs above the St. Croix, the river views along WI-35, and the winding backroads west of town—it’s why riders come here, live here, and ride here.
But one driver not paying attention can ruin all of that.
One unsafe left turn. One missed shoulder check. One second of looking at a phone instead of the road.
And suddenly, your life’s been turned upside down.
If you’ve been seriously injured in a motorcycle crash in Hudson—or if you lost someone you love—we’re here for you.
At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we represent riders. That’s it. We’re not a general personal injury firm. We’re Wisconsin’s Motorcycle Law Firm, and we’re here to help real riders get justice.
We Know the Roads—and the Risks—Around Hudson
Riding in and around Hudson means navigating everything from weekend tourist traffic to reckless drivers cutting over from the Twin Cities. And whether you’re heading south on WI-35 or jumping onto I-94, one bad driver can change your life in a heartbeat.
We’ve seen serious wrecks happen on:
I-94, especially merging traffic near Exit 1 and the Stillwater bridge
Highway 35, both in town and heading south along the river
Carmichael Road and Coulee Road, with heavy commercial traffic and distracted drivers
Vine Street and 2nd Street, especially downtown with cross-traffic and narrow lanes
County Roads E, F, and UU, where rural roads combine with high speeds and low visibility
The roads around Hudson are gorgeous—but the drivers aren’t always careful. And it’s the rider who pays the price when things go wrong.

Common Motorcycle Accidents in Hudson and Surrounding Areas
Most motorcycle crashes aren’t caused by the rider. They’re caused by drivers in cars and trucks who don’t check their mirrors, don’t yield the right of way, or don’t respect the road.
We’ve seen it all:
Left-turn crashes, where a car turns across a rider’s path
Unsafe lane changes, especially on I-94 and WI-35
Rear-end collisions, often at traffic lights or when a rider slows for traffic or hazards
Failure to yield, especially at county road intersections and driveways
Dooring incidents, more common downtown or in neighborhoods
Debris, gravel, or uneven pavement, especially on rural or under-maintained roads
Distracted driving, including phone use, GPS adjustments, or rubbernecking near river views
Impaired or aggressive driving, especially on weekends and at night
In every one of these crashes, it’s the rider who gets the worst of it. We’re here to make sure the other driver—and their insurance company—don’t walk away without being held accountable.
Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Legal Representation
Motorcycle injuries aren’t like car crash injuries. You don’t get a bump or a bruise—you get trauma. Life-changing, body-altering trauma. And you deserve a lawyer who understands just how serious that is.
We represent riders dealing with:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Even with a helmet, your brain can suffer long-term damage. Memory loss, mood swings, cognitive changes—these injuries are invisible, but devastating.
Spinal Cord Injuries
From chronic pain to full paralysis, we’ve seen the toll spinal injuries take. We build cases that account for your medical care, lost mobility, and future needs.
Amputations and Crush Injuries
Some riders lose arms, legs, or function in hands or feet after a wreck. These cases aren’t just about money—they’re about dignity, support, and rebuilding a future.
Broken Bones and Complex Fractures
Fractured femurs, shattered wrists, broken hips—it all adds up to surgeries, hospital stays, and missed work. And we make sure every part of it is compensated.
Road Rash and Burns
Severe abrasions and burns require skin grafts, rehab, and often leave permanent scars. These injuries can affect your confidence, comfort, and career.
Internal Organ Damage
Bleeding, punctured organs, and other internal trauma are often life-threatening and expensive to treat. We fight to make sure those costs are fully covered.
Permanent Nerve Damage
Loss of function, numbness, and ongoing pain from nerve injuries can impact every part of your life—from walking to riding to working.
Emotional Trauma
If you're having nightmares, anxiety, or PTSD after a crash—you’re not alone. We recognize mental health as part of your recovery and your claim.
Representing Families After Fatal Motorcycle Crashes
We’ve helped families through the worst days of their lives. If you lost someone in a motorcycle wreck near Hudson, we’re so sorry. And we’re here to help.
We handle wrongful death cases for spouses, children, and parents of riders who were killed due to negligence or recklessness. These claims can recover:
Funeral and burial expenses
Emergency medical care
Loss of income and financial support
Loss of companionship and guidance
Emotional suffering
Punitive damages (in extreme cases)
We take these cases personally. Because the rider who was lost? They weren’t just a client. They were someone who rode like we do.
Why Riders in Hudson Choose McCarthy Motorcycle Law
You’ve got options when it comes to lawyers. But most of them don’t ride. Most don’t understand bikes. And most are quick to settle just to move on to the next case.
Here’s what makes us different:
We only take motorcycle and wrongful death cases. That’s it.
We understand bikes. How they move, how they stop, how crashes happen, and how to explain it to a jury.
We don’t pass you off. You’ll talk to your lawyer—not a case manager or a call center.
We fight for full value. We don’t settle cheap, and we’re not afraid to go to trial.
You don’t pay us unless we win. No upfront fees. No risk to you.
We treat our clients like real people. Because they are.
