Motorcycle riders are exposed to many dangers other drivers don't face on the road. The need for greater stopping distances, increased exposure to the elements, and lack of physical protection from the negligent actions of car, truck, and SUV drivers leaves motorcyclists vulnerable to serious injury.

Many motorcycle accidents in Wisconsin and around the U.S. are caused by car or truck drivers colliding with a motorcycle that they "just didn't see." Others result from driver's just not thinking about the impact of their actions when they suddenly turn in front of a cyclist.

Car and truck driver negligence is the most common cause of motorcycle accidental injuries and deaths. Catastrophic head and neck injuries, broken ankles and legs, and paralysis are just some of the results of car-motorcycle collisions.

If you or a loved one suffered a serious injury in a motorcycle accident, contact the Milwaukee law office of Previant, Goldberg, Uelmen, Gratz, Miller & Brueggeman, S.C. (PGU) We understand the difficulties you are facing and the rehabilitation yet to come. At PGU, we work hard to help the hard-working people of southern Wisconsin recover after suffering serious injuries. We can help.

Bringing a Personal Injury Lawsuit for a Motorcycle Accident

The goal of our personal injury attorneys is always to get you the maximum compensation you need for your physical and financial recovery after an injury. Sometimes that will occur through a litigation in court; sometimes through a negotiated settlement with an insurance company.

When you meet with us, we will review your case and, based on the facts of your case, advise you on how to proceed and what we believe will be your best option for recovery. Juries (made up primarily of auto drivers, not motorcyclists) sometimes pre-judge a motorcycle accident because they don't understand motorcycles and think they are inherently dangerous. In a court case, your PGU motorcycle accident lawyer will work to overcome those misconceptions.

Whether we're presenting a case to an insurance company or to a jury, we come prepared with the facts. When necessary, we work with professional investigators to ensure we understand the dynamics of the accident and/or medical professionals to document the extent of your injuries.

We're here to protect your rights to compensation. Although this is a difficult time for you and your family, don't sign a settlement agreement with an insurance company until you've spoken with an attorney of your own. Contact us for a free initial consultation.
