Injured in a Motorcycle Crash in Sheboygan? We’re Here to Help You Get the Justice You Deserve

Sheboygan is a lakeshore city with a strong sense of independence—and for a lot of us, riding is part of that. Whether you’re cruising past the harbor on Broughton Drive, heading west on Highway 23 toward Plymouth, or exploring the winding backroads of Sheboygan Falls, there’s something about life on two wheels here that just feels right.

But every rider knows the risk.

All it takes is one careless driver.
One wrong move at an intersection.
One glance at a phone instead of the road.

And just like that, everything changes.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash in Sheboygan—or if you’ve lost someone you love—we’re truly sorry. We know how hard this is. We also know how important it is to have someone on your side who understands what you're going through and knows how to fight for what you’re owed.

We’re McCarthy Motorcycle Law—Wisconsin’s Motorcycle Law Firm—and we’re here to help you through this.

We Know Sheboygan Roads—And What Puts Riders in Danger

Sheboygan isn’t a huge city, but the risks for riders are real—and growing. You’ve got locals commuting, tourists unfamiliar with the roads, and commercial trucks moving between I-43 and the industrial port. That mix creates real problems for motorcyclists.

We’ve seen riders injured on:

  • Highway 23, especially where it narrows, merges, or transitions near Taylor Drive

  • I-43, with high speeds and aggressive lane changes between Sheboygan and Oostburg

  • Calumet Drive and North Avenue, where heavy traffic and left turns cause frequent wrecks

  • South 14th Street and Indiana Avenue, where visibility is often poor at intersections

  • County Roads A, PP, and S, where rural drivers may not expect to see bikes—or may misjudge speed and distance

  • Lakeshore Drive, where beautiful views sometimes distract from careful driving

The truth is: you can ride with all the caution in the world—but when a driver doesn’t see you or respect your space, you're the one who pays the price.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes in the Sheboygan Area

Most motorcycle wrecks aren’t caused by riders. They’re caused by inattentive or reckless drivers in larger vehicles. Some of the most common causes we see include:

These crashes often lead to devastating injuries—and riders are rarely the ones at fault.

Serious Injuries Require Serious Representation

When you go down on a motorcycle, your injuries aren’t minor. They’re often catastrophic, and they impact every part of your life—your job, your family, your independence, and your identity.

We represent riders suffering from:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Even with a helmet, head trauma can lead to memory problems, confusion, mood swings, and long-term cognitive issues. These cases require expert medical testimony and aggressive legal strategy.

Spinal Cord Injuries

We’ve stood beside riders facing lifelong paralysis, nerve pain, and the loss of physical freedom. We fight to secure full compensation for care, equipment, and quality of life.

Amputations and Crush Injuries

Losing a limb—or the full use of one—changes everything. These cases aren’t just about bills. They’re about your future.

Complex Fractures

Broken legs, arms, hips, or pelvis injuries often mean multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and time away from work and riding.

Severe Road Rash and Burns

Sliding across pavement at speed can lead to deep wounds, scarring, infection, and skin grafts. These injuries are painful and permanent.

Internal Organ Damage

Punctured lungs, ruptured spleens, internal bleeding—these invisible injuries can become fatal if untreated or underestimated.

Permanent Nerve Damage

Tingling, numbness, or total loss of movement or function in your limbs may last a lifetime—and must be taken seriously by the insurance company.

PTSD and Emotional Trauma

Some injuries you can’t see—but they’re just as real. We fight for compensation for the anxiety, nightmares, and emotional fallout that comes after a traumatic crash.

Representing Families After Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in sheboygan

Losing someone you love in a motorcycle crash is every rider’s worst fear—and every family’s worst nightmare. We’re deeply sorry if that’s why you’re here.

We handle wrongful death cases on behalf of spouses, children, and parents of riders who’ve died in crashes caused by another’s negligence. These lawsuits can help you recover:

  • Funeral and burial expenses

  • Final medical bills

  • Loss of income and financial support

  • Loss of companionship and love

  • Emotional suffering for surviving family

  • Punitive damages (in the most egregious cases)

We treat these cases with care, compassion, and a deep sense of duty. Your loved one mattered. And we’ll make sure the legal system recognizes that.

Why Sheboygan Riders Trust McCarthy Motorcycle Law

We don’t take every kind of injury case. We don’t advertise on billboards. And we don’t hand your case off to some junior associate who doesn’t know a thing about motorcycles.

We do one thing: fight for injured riders and their families.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • We focus solely on motorcycle accident and wrongful death cases.

  • We understand how bikes work, how riders think, and how crashes really happen.

  • We treat our clients like humans—not case numbers.

  • We prepare every case for trial from day one—and insurance companies know it.

  • We don’t get paid unless we win. That means no upfront fees and no risk to you.

We’re not a big, corporate firm. We’re a motorcycle law firm—built for real riders and the families who love them.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Sheboygan

Here’s what to do right now if you’ve been in a crash—or you’re helping a loved one who has:

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Don’t tough it out. You need documentation, and internal injuries may not be obvious.

  2. Don’t talk to the other driver’s insurance company. They’re trained to twist your words and minimize your claim.

  3. Take photos. Of your bike, your gear, the road, your injuries, and any property damage.

  4. Write down everything. What happened, how you feel, your symptoms, and what witnesses said.

  5. Contact us early. The sooner we’re involved, the better job we can do to protect your rights.

We offer free, confidential case evaluations—and we’ll take the pressure off your shoulders from day one.

What Is a Motorcycle Case Worth in Sheboygan?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But here’s what we look at:

  • Medical bills (past and future)

  • Lost wages and reduced earning ability

  • Pain and suffering

  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

  • Emotional trauma

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

  • Property damage to your bike and gear

In wrongful death cases, we also pursue:

  • Funeral and burial expenses

  • Lost income and benefits

  • Loss of companionship

  • Emotional loss suffered by surviving family

We don’t settle for less than you deserve. And we don’t back down.
