After being hit by careless motorists, bikers can incur devastating injuries. For example, motorcycle accident victims may suffer broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries, among other types of harm. Fortunately, injured riders can seek payment for the injuries they suffered.
However, pursuing compensation through a motorcycle accident lawsuit can be a complicated task. Drivers are often represented by insurance companies who will hire teams of people to dispute plaintiffs’ claims. A motorcycle accident lawyer can help fight insurance companies and guide victims through each step of the legal process.

In Wisconsin, negligent drivers can be held accountable for motorcycle accidents they cause. There are many different forms of careless behavior that cause collisions. Our Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers can investigate whether your crash stems from one of the following sources:
Many riders are hit by drivers who commit improper lane changes. Improper lane changes can happen when motorists change lanes in illegal zones or change lanes without using their turn signals. Collisions related to improper lane changes frequently occur on highways during periods of high traffic congestion. Victims of these accidents may be entitled to monetary damages.
Speeding is another common cause of motorcycle crashes. For instance, motorists who travel at illegal speeds may be unable to react properly when a biker in front of them slows down. Further, riders are more likely to suffer serious injuries after collisions at high speeds. Our Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers can help hold speeding drivers responsible for the injuries they cause.
Also, many motorcycle accidents in Wisconsin are caused by drunk drivers. Impaired motorists will exhibit reckless decision-making abilities, blurry vision, and poor motor skills. Accidents caused by drunk drivers often occur at night but can occur at any time of the day. Our attorneys can help motorcycle accident victims bring cases against the drunk motorists who caused their collisions.
Furthermore, improper left turns are a common cause of motorcycle accidents. Careless drivers often fail to notice bikers sharing the roadway. In such cases, riders can be struck by motorists who make improper left turns and fail to yield the right-of-way. Victims should contact our Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers for help proving that drivers who made improper left turns are at fault.
Distracted driving is a cause of many motorcycle crashes in Wisconsin. Motorists can become distracted when they divert their attention, take their eyes off the road, or take their hands off the wheel. There are several activities that frequently distract drivers:
Our team can help determine if your crash was caused by a distracted driver. If so, you may be able to recover financial compensation.
Tailgating is another cause of many motorcycle accidents. Tailgating refers to the practice of driving too closely behind a vehicle in front of you. Like speeding drivers, tailgating drivers will have trouble reacting when cars in front of them have to slow down.
Accordingly, many motorcycle riders suffer rear-end collisions caused by tailgating motorists. These accidents frequently occur on highways and on busy city streets. Our attorneys can help victims of these accidents file their cases.
Lastly, many bikers are struck by drivers who run red lights. Motorists who disobey traffic signals can cause catastrophic collisions with riders traveling in other directions through intersections. In such cases, several forms of evidence can be utilized to prove fault. If you were struck by a driver who ran a red light, you can contact our experienced Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers for help building your case.
States’ statutes of limitations set forth timelines for filing certain types of cases. According to Wis. Stats. § 893.54, victims will generally have three years from the dates of their crashes to bring their motorcycle accident cases to court. Failure to adhere to this deadline could cause you to miss out on important compensation. You can contact our experienced Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers for help filing your case.
Furthermore, several other requirements should be satisfied when filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit. For example, plaintiffs must file their cases in the right courts, attach necessary supporting documents, pay filing fees, serve all named defendants, and avoid filing incomplete claims. Plaintiffs who do not satisfy any one of these requirements may have to re-file their cases. Accordingly, you should attempt to bring your case to court as soon as possible, so you may have time to re-file your lawsuit if required.
Each motorcycle accident lawsuit is unique. Several factors can influence the legal strategies and analyses applied to a particular case. However, every plaintiff must show that the following four elements are true:
Analyzing these elements in the context of your case can be difficult without the assistance of our experienced Wisconsin motorcycle accident lawyers. Our team can help determine if the required elements have been satisfied during your free case review.

Don is a founding partner and one of the nation’s top-ranked personal injury litigators. He is a member of the Multi-million Dollar Advocates Forum, which includes less than 1% of the nation’s trial lawyers, and awarded the highest ranking given by Martindale Hubbel and AVVO.
More importantly, Don understands representing personal injury victims is about more than recovering the best settlement: it’s about helping clients get back on their feet and supporting them in every aspect of their recovery.
In nearly all cases, our clients seek compensation from the wrongdoer’s insurance company. Before forming Wruck Paupore, Jason worked for a prominent law firm representing some of the world’s largest insurers. This experience gives Jason a deep understanding of the insurance industry and the strategies it uses to pay injury victims as little as possible.
Jason -- and our entire team -- put this inside knowledge to work to force insurance companies to pay what is actually owed. Often, we use the insurance company’s own tactics against them as we fight for the full compensation our client deserves.
For more than four decades, Keith has been fighting for injury victims. During that time, he’s watched the insurance industry change, with insurers now more interested in protecting their stock price than treating injury victims fairly.
Since the beginning, Keith has put people first. From his childhood in Gary, Indiana during the 1960’s and working his way through law school, Keith has risen to become one of the Midwest’s most respected trial lawyers. He has never forgotten that being a lawyer is about helping people -- and seeing injury victims through struggles in a way that could change their lives forever.
Over the decades, Keith, Don and Jason have fought relentlessly for clients, even when other lawyers have said the case was impossible to win.
