Motorcycle Accidents in Wisconsin

Wisconsin motorcycle riders head out on the open roads for the freedom and fun that come with traveling through the streets on a bike. Unfortunately, since motorcycles provide minimal protection from the road or other objects during an accident compared to passenger vehicles or trucks, motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on our roadways.

Moreover, when motorcycle riders are injured in collisions, they face a number of difficulties. First and foremost, others tend to assume that they are the cause of a collision since motorcyclists are often seen as wild and reckless. Secondly, since motorcyclists are not encircled by the protective elements of cars, they are at a much higher risk of dying or suffering grave injuries in a crash.
