Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Wisconsin

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.

Wisconsin law does not require adults over the age of 18 to wear a helmet. However, insurance companies may argue that your injuries would have been less severe if you had worn one. Our attorneys can help address these arguments and protect your right to recover compensation

The at-fault driver’s insurance is typically responsible for repairing or replacing your bike. This can include custom parts and protective gear, like helmets, jackets, and boots, which are often expensive to replace. Our attorneys work to ensure the property damage claim accounts for these items so you are not left paying out of pocket.
