Hurt in a Motorcycle Crash in La Crosse? We’ve Got Your Back

If you’re a rider who’s been hurt in a motorcycle accident in La Crosse—or you’ve lost someone you love—you’re in the right place. At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we represent motorcyclists and their families throughout western Wisconsin. We don’t just take these cases—we live them. We ride, we care, and we know what you’re going through.

Whether your crash happened along Highway 35, near the Mississippi River bluffs, or in the heart of downtown La Crosse, we know the roads, we know the risks, and we know how to stand up to insurance companies that try to blame riders for their own injuries.

This isn’t just another accident to us. If you’re hurting, grieving, or just overwhelmed, we’re here to help you fight for justice.

Why Motorcycle Accidents Hit Harder in La Crosse

La Crosse is one of the most scenic places to ride in all of Wisconsin—but those winding roads, riverfront routes, and busy intersections can be dangerous. Riders face unique risks, and unfortunately, we also face bias. Too many insurance companies and even law enforcement officers assume we’re at fault simply because we ride.

At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we know better. We work to:

  • Prove the truth about how your crash happened

  • Push back against anti-rider bias

  • Understand how your gear, speed, and lane positioning affect liability

  • Fight for the full amount you’re owed—not just what the insurance company wants to pay

We treat every crash like it matters—because it does. And when someone’s lost their life, we treat the case with the care and respect it deserves.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes in La Crosse

We’ve seen countless cases where riders were seriously hurt or killed because of:

Sometimes it’s a careless driver. Sometimes it’s a dangerous road. Either way, you deserve someone who can hold the responsible party accountable.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in La Crosse

If you’ve been in a crash in La Cross, the steps you take next can make a big difference:

  1. Get medical care immediately — Even if you feel “okay,” serious injuries often show up later.

  2. Take photos if you can — The scene, your bike, your injuries, and the road conditions.

  3. Don’t talk to the other driver’s insurance company — They’re not looking out for you. In fact, be careful what you say to your own, because they’re not looking out for you either.

  4. Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer — The sooner, the better. We’ll take it from there.

If you’re dealing with the aftermath of losing a loved one, we know it’s even harder. You shouldn’t have to think about legal stuff while you’re grieving. That’s where we come in—to handle the legal fight so you can focus on your family and healing.

We’ve worked with families who are trying to make sense of their loss while navigating funeral costs, insurance claims, and emotional devastation. If that’s where you are, we’re truly sorry. And we’re ready to help.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Depending on the details of your crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Emergency medical bills

  • Ongoing and future medical care

  • Lost wages and loss of future earning potential

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Damage to your bike and riding gear

  • Funeral and burial costs (in wrongful death cases)

  • Loss of companionship and support for surviving family members

We’ll fight to make sure you get every dollar the law allows. And we don’t get paid unless we win.

Local Knowledge Makes a Difference

We know riding in La Crosse. We know the roads whether its:

  • Highway 61 and 35 along the river

  • Losey Boulevard and Mormon Coulee Road

  • The roads near UW-La Crosse

  • Rural routes around Holmen, Onalaska, and West Salem

We also know how the local medical system works—Gundersen, Mayo, and local physical therapy clinics. We can help you navigate the paperwork and coordinate with doctors.

Insurance Companies Don’t Play Fair. We Don’t Let Them Win.

Insurance companies have a playbook. They try to:

  • Blame the rider for the crash

  • Downplay the seriousness of your injuries

  • Offer a low settlement quickly before you know your rights

  • Use your own words against you

When you hire us, we step in, take over communication, and level the playing field. You’ll never have to talk to the insurance company again—we’ll handle it. We’ll build a strong case and let them know you’re not someone they can push around.
