Motorcycle accident claims are a type of personal injury case. The value of personal injury claims varies significantly from case to case.
The best way to get an estimate of how much your case is worth is to meet with a Wisconsin personal injury lawyer.
Your lawyer will analyze key factors, including:
Victims often face a financial crisis after motorcycle accidents. Because of this, one of the first questions we get from new clients is, How much is my motorcycle accident case worth? We understand the financial pressure that injured parties are under and work hard to ensure every client gets the most compensation possible.
If you successfully bring a personal injury claim against the responsible party, you can demand compensatory damages. The purpose of compensatory damages is to compensate victims for all losses incurred after an accident. This includes economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are tangible losses incurred in an accident. They can be documented and are relatively easy to calculate.
Examples of economic damages are:
Non-economic damages compensate victims for personal losses from an accident. These can be difficult to document and quantify.
Examples of non-economic damages commonly awarded in Wisconsin are:
After an accident, you only have one opportunity to seek compensation from the responsible party. To ensure you get the compensation you deserve, you must accurately calculate all damages.
Under Wisconsin’s modified comparative negligence laws, an accident victim can recover damages from other at-fault parties as long as the victim is not more at fault than the other party.
This means that as long as you’re not more than 50% responsible for an accident, you can still recover damages from other at-fault parties. However, your damages will be reduced by the proportion of your fault. If you’re more than 50% responsible for the crash, you’re not entitled to recover any damages.
For example, if you’re 10% responsible for an accident, you can still recover 90% of your damages. In contrast, if you’re 60% responsible for an accident, you’re not entitled to recover anything.
It’s a common practice for insurance companies to blame victims after a motorcycle accident. This is a strategy used to minimize the value of claims or avoid liability altogether. Don’t panic if you’re being blamed for your motorcycle accident.
Our team is used to defending victims against such claims and will ensure your rights are protected. However, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible if you’re being blamed for a crash.
Even seemingly minor accidents can lead to serious or catastrophic injuries for motorcyclists. The liable party will try to minimize your injuries after a crash. Our team will fight to ensure you’re compensated for all of your injuries.

Tragically, some motorcycle accidents are fatal. If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle crash, our team can bring a wrongful death claim on your behalf. These are difficult cases, but they provide a way to hold the responsible party accountable. They also ensure that family members get the compensation they deserve, including medical expenses, funeral expenses, and lost income.
Many different factors can cause motorcycle accidents, but most crashes are the result of driver negligence or human error.
Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in Wisconsin are:
Our team will investigate your crash and determine all causes. Then, we’ll build a strong case to ensure the responsible party is held accountable.
In Wisconsin, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years. Victims have three years from the date of an accident to file a lawsuit against the responsible party. After this period, victims have no right to recover compensation.
Even if you think your case will settle, it’s vital to resolve it before the statute of limitations expires. After this period, you’ll have no leverage to demand a fair settlement.
It takes time to investigate an accident, gather evidence, and negotiate with the liable party. To ensure your rights are protected, contact an accident attorney as soon as possible after your crash.
