Motorcycle and Moped Accidents

From spring to fall, motorcycles are a great way to enjoy our state’s open roads.  Wisconsin offers abundant scenic roadways which beckon exploring.  Unfortunately, accidents involving motorcycles do occur and, unlike a car or truck that encloses and protects you to a certain extent, while riding a motorcycle, you are just inches from the pavement, allowing any type of injury to be that much more severe.   While wearing a helmet is not a legal requirement in Wisconsin, it is a prudent measure to help avoid devasting head injuries.

If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, we do not recommend giving a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster.  Talk to an attorney first.  Adjusters are trained to ask questions that benefit their position, not yours.  Unless you work daily with insurance companies, you may be unaware of the tactics they use to pressure you into an early settlement, only to find out later that your injuries were more serious than originally thought.

Our attorneys have successfully represented countless individuals involved in motorcycle accidents. We routinely deal with national and local insurance companies. Let us put our experience, determination, and knowledge to work for you. Call us locally at 715-359-3188, toll-free at 1-800-662-5432 or e-mail bkennedy@tlustylaw.com, because we‘re here to help.
