If you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle accident in Oshkosh—or if someone you love was killed in a crash—you’re in the right place. At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we don’t just take motorcycle cases. We live and breathe them. We ride. We understand the risks riders take every time they throw a leg over the bike. And we’ve seen firsthand how devastating it is when a ride turns tragic.
We represent motorcycle riders and their families across Wisconsin, and we’re proud to be known as Wisconsin’s Motorcycle Law Firm. When other lawyers are Googling how motorcycles work, we’re already building your case, backed by a deep understanding of how these crashes happen, how they’re investigated, and how to win them.
Why Motorcycle Accidents in Oshkosh Deserve a Lawyer Who Rides
Oshkosh has some of the best riding routes in the Fox Valley, with lakeside views, open stretches, and scenic rural roads nearby. But it’s also home to high-risk intersections, distracted drivers, and fast-changing weather conditions that can turn dangerous in an instant.
Motorcycle accidents are not like car accidents. Riders are more exposed, more vulnerable, and more likely to be blamed—even when it’s the other driver’s fault. Insurance companies are quick to make lowball offers or try to deny claims entirely.
That’s why you need someone who understands:
How motorcycle crashes are different from car crashes
How to push back against insurance company bias
What kind of gear you were wearing and how that impacts the case
The pain of road rash, broken bones, or worse
The gut punch of losing a loved one to a careless driver
We don’t just understand your case—we understand your life. And we fight for it like it’s our own.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Oshkosh
We’ve seen motorcycle crashes caused by everything from pure negligence to outright recklessness. Some of the most common causes include:
Left-turn accidents — where drivers turn in front of a bike at an intersection
Distracted driving — phones, GPS, food, you name it
Dooring incidents — especially in tighter urban areas
Poor road conditions — gravel, potholes, unmarked construction zones
If your crash involved any of these—and let’s be honest, most of them do—it’s time to talk to a motorcycle accident lawyer who knows how to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Representing Riders and Families in the Toughest Moments
At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we represent:
Riders injured in crashes in and around Oshkosh
Passengers hurt in motorcycle accidents
Families grieving the wrongful death of a loved one in a fatal motorcycle accident
We know how deeply these crashes affect people. A single moment of driver inattention can leave you with permanent injuries, chronic pain, or lifelong trauma. And for families who’ve lost someone, it’s not just about justice—it’s about making sure that person’s story is told and their loss is acknowledged in the eyes of the law.
We take these cases personally. Because they are personal.
What You Can Recover in a Wisconsin Motorcycle Injury Case
Depending on the details of your crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical bills (past, ongoing, and future)
Lost income and future earnings
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of quality of life
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Property damage (bike, helmet, gear, etc.)
Funeral and burial costs in wrongful death cases
Loss of companionship and support for surviving family members
We work with medical experts, vocational rehab specialists, and accident reconstruction professionals to build a rock-solid case. And we don’t charge a dime unless we win.
What To Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Oshkosh
In the aftermath of a crash, things can feel chaotic and confusing. Here’s what to do if you’re ever involved in a motorcycle accident in Oshkosh:
Get medical attention right away – even if you feel “okay.”
Call the police and get a report – crucial for your case.
Document the scene – photos of your bike, the road, your injuries, your gear.
Get names and numbers of any witnesses.
Don’t talk to the other driver’s insurance company.
Contact a motorcycle accident attorney ASAP.
And if it’s too late for all that—if you’re reading this after the fact, in a hospital bed or after a funeral—we’re still here for you. We’ll help you sort out what comes next.
Local Knowledge Helps Your Case
Oshkosh isn’t just another pin on a map. We know the local roads, the dangerous intersections, and the small-town dynamics that can influence how a case is handled.
We’ve seen crashes near:
South Park Avenue
West 9th Avenue
Highway 41
The stretch near the EAA Grounds during AirVenture
Jackson Street
Oshkosh Avenue heading west
The bridges crossing the Fox River
Knowing the terrain helps us investigate your crash with more context—and that can make all the difference.
Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side
The other driver’s insurance company is not looking out for you. Neither is yours, most of the time. Their goal is to pay out as little as possible—and they’re really good at it.
They might:
Blame you for the crash
Claim your injuries weren’t that bad
Use your social media posts against you
Delay your claim to wear you down
Offer a settlement that sounds okay—but is way too low
We don’t let them get away with that. When we take your case, we take over all communication with insurance companies. You focus on healing. We focus on fighting.
