wHAT cAUSES MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS IN Wisconsin?

There are many different factors that contribute to a motorcycle accident and it can be difficult to correctly discern the most direct causes without a careful and thorough investigation. A close examination may reveal that one or more of the following sources of danger were involved:

  • Roadway Defects – Improperly maintained roads can pose serious hazards, especially to motorcycles that are more sensitive to road conditions and rough terrain.
  • Motorcycle Defects or Malfunctions – If a part malfunctions during operation, a serious accident could occur. It may be possible to hold the manufacturer accountable for the defect.
  • Negligent or Reckless Drivers – Drivers have a responsibility to operate their vehicles in a reasonable and safe manner while on the road. Motorcycles are entitled to the same rights as other motorists.
  • Intoxicated Motorists – If someone has consumed alcohol and is driving, he or she may not be able to see bikers or react quickly enough to avoid a serious accident.
  • Distracted Drivers – Distractions behind the wheel, including the use of social media, talking on the phone, eating, drinking, grooming, or other distractions can be deadly.
  • Aggressive Driving – Tailgating or driving aggressively can be especially dangerous if done around a motorcycle. Drivers should exercise caution and practice defensive driving, and not behave aggressively on the road.

It’s important to be aware of these dangers. Read more about what you should do if you’ve been in a motorcycle accident.

Common Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

Some common injuries that motorcyclists may suffer in the event of a collision with another vehicle are:

  • Broken bones and lacerations
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Neck and spine injuries
  • Paralysis (quadriplegia, paraplegia)
  • Friction burns or “road rash”
  • Injuries to the face or other head trauma

Delayed injuries from motorcycle accidents

It is important to seek medical attention after a collision because a trained healthcare professional can best evaluate your condition. However, there are several other injuries that may not be discovered for days or even weeks after the accident including whiplash, soft tissue damage, concussion, back or neck injuries and emotional distress. Symptoms to be aware of after a motorcycle accident are:

  • Soreness
  • Headaches
  • Stiffness in shoulder or neck
  • Pain in shoulder, neck or back
  • Numbness in extremities like hands or arms
  • Pain, bruising, swelling in the abdominal area

Motorcycle Accident FAQs

Dealing with the legalities of a motorcycle accident can be difficult and stressful, especially if you are also recovering from physical and psychological injuries. As such, it may be difficult to recover the loss and damages you are entitled to. Experienced motorcycle accident attorneys will negotiate with the involved insurance companies to protect you and fight for your compensation.

The Habush Habush & Rottier team consists of more board-certified trial lawyers than any other law firm in Wisconsin, so we are confident you’ll find the representation you need after a motorcycle accident. Here are the points you should look for when searching for legal representation:

  • The attorney’s status with their state and local bar association
  • Results from previous cases
  • Reviews written by other clients
  • First contact: Did they answer your call? Were they polite or dismissive?
  • Personalized consultation, at no cost

Your attorney can calculate the losses you’ve experienced due to your motorcycle accident. Factors that determine the amount you are entitled to include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Current medical bills
  • Anticipated costs for future
  • medical expenses
  • Damage to personal property
  • Potential ADA modifications for your home or vehicle in the future, if necessary
  • Punitive damages from reckless drivers, where applicable

A motorcycle accident attorney can help you understand your guaranteed coverage between health insurance, motorcycle or auto insurance, and any supplemental options you have available.

As always, your health insurance may pay part of your medical care, but you are still responsible for your deductible and any related co-pays. You may also be responsible for ongoing treatments, like physical therapy, that are not covered in your plan. Also, remember, your health insurance will not cover other, non-medical losses related to your accident (like damage to property, lost wages, etc.).

In Wisconsin, your motorcycle insurance, with or without med-pay options, should cover property damage, bodily injury and uninsured motorists. Depending on your plan, it may also reimburse you for charges your health insurance holds you accountable for (like medical deductibles and co-pays). However, without legal aid it is difficult to understand and negotiate for the full amount you are due.

Finally, your case may fall into subrogation of benefits where you could be ultimately responsible for paying back your insurer for any healthcare costs you accrued. A motorcycle accident attorney can review your health insurance agreement to see if any subrogation claims apply and advocate on your behalf to make sure the claim is carried out fairly.
