Motorcycle Accidents

Wisconsin is a great state for motorcycle riding and we have plenty of opportunities to ride both in the city and on country roads. Being the home of Harley-Davidson and the Harley-Davidson museum, and with many of our local police forces using Harleys for their motorcycle fleet, we are a state that truly celebrates the joy of riding a motorcycle. However, the other vehicles that travel on the same roadways often miss seeing a motorcycle traveling near them and accidents happen. Without the protection of the steel frame of an automobile, motorcycle riders are at a greater risk for serious and life-threatening injuries if involved in an accident.

An attorney who is experienced in handling motorcycle injury claims will be familiar with the laws that protect injured victims and will be able to sort through the details for you. This can be an invaluable service. If your motorcycle has been damaged, the insurance company will want to pay the lowest amount possible for that repair or replacement. You will also be required by the insurance company to document your injuries and provide the insurance company with medical records and billing statements from ambulances, hospitals, doctors and therapy facilities in order to be reimbursed for medical expenses. Weeks of treatment may cause you to miss time from work, either because of injuries or appointments to see a doctor. Remember, it is in the best interests of any insurance company to try to settle every claim for the smallest amount possible. Don't be fooled by insurance company television commercials that lead you to believe they will easily pay your claim. All expenses for damages to your motorcycle, tow truck expenses, ambulance bills, hospital and doctor expenses, time lost from work, and pain and suffering will have to be verified and may be denied. An attorney who is familiar with the methods of insurance companies can accumulate your medical records and document your expenses, injuries, pain and suffering in a way that makes sense to an insurance company. This leaves you free of stress so that you can take care of healing from your injuries.
