Motorcycle riders face unique dangers on the road and unique challenges in the legal system. Without the protection of an enclosed vehicle, motorcycle accident injuries tend to be severe. Riders also face bias from insurance adjusters and juries who unfairly blame motorcyclists for accidents.
In Wisconsin, personal injury cases are governed by specific state laws that affect how your case is handled:
Wisconsin follows modified comparative negligence under Wis. Stat. 895.045. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover. Wisconsin caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $750,000 but does not cap damages in other personal injury cases.
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in catastrophic injuries because riders lack the structural protection of a car. Common motorcycle accident injuries include road rash and severe skin abrasions, broken bones and compound fractures, traumatic brain injuries even with helmet use, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, limb amputation, and internal organ damage. Medical treatment for these injuries is often extensive and expensive, requiring multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
One of the biggest challenges in motorcycle accident cases is the bias that riders face. Insurance adjusters and jurors sometimes assume the motorcyclist was at fault simply because they were on a motorcycle. Attorney Mike Zara understands this dynamic and works to overcome it by presenting clear evidence of the other driver's negligence, using accident reconstruction experts, and educating jurors about motorcycle safety and rider rights.
