Several factors can lead to motorcycle accidents in Wisconsin and across all states.
Distracted driving, reckless driving, unsafe road conditions, inadequate lighting, intoxicated drivers, and motorcycle defects are the most common.
Inadequately maintained roads are also a common factor leading to motorcycle accidents. What can be a large pothole to a driver of a “regular” vehicle can mean devastating circumstances or injuries for a motorcycle rider.
All drivers and riders have the same responsibilities for safety on the roads. Unfortunately, reckless, distracted, or intoxicated driving leads to thousands of motorcycle crashes and injuries every year, including dozens of fatalities.
Regardless of what caused your motorcycle accident case, our personal injury lawyers will work diligently to determine whose negligence injured you and pursue compensation in full for all that your claim is worth.
Some states are known as at-fault states or no-fault states. Wisconsin is considered an at-fault state but operates under a modified comparative fault rule, meaning that even if you are partially responsible for the accident, you may still be eligible for compensation.
For example, if you were in an accident while operating your motorcycle and collided with two other vehicles, the fault for this accident would have to be determined based on the three parties involved. If you are found to be 20% responsible for the fault of the accident, and $50,000 of damages were awarded, your portion of the awarded damages would be 20% less due to your contribution to the fault of the accident. Working with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer can help provide credibility to your case and ensure that your percentage of fault is not exaggerated or misrepresented, helping you obtain maximum compensation and protection during your claim.
Motorcycles, while offering an unmatched sense of freedom and thrill, also come with inherent risks due to their open nature and relative lack of protection compared to other vehicles. When accidents occur, motorcyclists are often more susceptible to severe injuries. Understanding these injuries is crucial, not only for safety awareness, but also for victims seeking compensation for their traumas.
At Pemberton Law, we recognize the profound impact these injuries can have on a person’s life. Our team is equipped with both the compassion and experience to advocate for victims, ensuring they receive the care, support, and compensation they need during their recovery journey.
Insurance can serve us well when it comes to accidents. It can and should take care of most of the financial responsibility associated with seeking medical care and help get you back on your feet. What it may not cover, however, is emotional distress resulting from your injuries, lost wages, property damage, or pain and suffering.
You can work with an experienced attorney to obtain the compensation you deserve. This can mean that your attorney works with you to determine what damages you incurred personally due to the accident, including medical expenses not covered by your insurance claims, such as long-term costs or modifications to your home necessary due to your injury.
Are you no longer able to work in the same position and therefore need to take a pay cut due to your injuries? Pain and suffering or emotional distress can also be covered by pursuing damages in court.
If gross negligence by the other party can be proven, you may be entitled to punitive damages in addition to general damages. Punitive damages are awarded when it has been established that the other party was either grossly negligent or intentional about their actions that caused your injury. Examples can be distracted or impaired driving, reckless driving, and more. Punitive damages are meant to penalize the offender for deterring them and others from repeating their negligent actions in the future.
The damages and injuries associated with a motorcycle accident can devastate our families and us personally and financially. You will need medical attention and take time away from providing for your family to heal, and you will likely have significant medical bills and unnecessary stress. Who will work on obtaining compensation while you are dealing with medical treatment? Who will ensure that your time away from work won’t financially devastate your family?
Our Madison personal injury attorneys are trained to do just that, so you can focus on healing.
Our team respects how difficult this position is for you, has thorough knowledge of the laws involved in motorcycle accidents, and has over 20 years of experience fighting for our clients’ rights. Let us help you to determine if you are eligible for compensation and help you fight for that compensation, so you can get back to life as you know it.

$33M+ Won For Our Clients
The client was involved in a motorcycle crash and suffered a brain bleed, TBI, facial fractures, broken ribs, and internal organ injuries. After initially hiring our firm, the client left for a cheaper attorney who mishandled the case. Months later, the client returned to us, and we secured the full $500,000 policy limits and reduced medical liens by $20,950.
The client was injured in a motorcycle crash, suffering a head bleed, facial fractures, broken sinuses requiring surgery, spleen removal, multiple broken ribs, and fractures to the shoulder, spine, pelvis, femur, ankle, and hip. Despite limited insurance coverage, we secured the $250,000 settlement and reduced over $1 million in medical liens down to just $30, ensuring the client kept nearly the entire settlement.
The client was rear-ended in a car versus motorcycle crash, sustaining twisted bones in the spine, nerve damage in the neck and back, a concussion, hip pain, numbness in the feet, facial cuts, and anxiety. After initial treatment was interrupted by a two-year gap due to insurance issues, proving the crash caused the injuries became complicated. The client had previously tried negotiating with the insurer alone, resulting in medical bills sent to collections and a lowball offer. We secured a $180,000 settlement—more than twice the pre-retainer offer—and negotiated nearly $22,000 in medical cost reductions.
