If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Madison, a motorcycle accident lawyer can investigate the crash, identify potentially responsible parties, preserve evidence, and evaluate your claim for compensation. Collisions may result from drivers failing to yield, unsafe lane changes, distracted driving, speeding, or hazardous road conditions. Motorcycle injuries can include fractures, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. Wisconsin generally allows three years to file motorcycle accident injury lawsuits, although exceptions apply. Wrongful death claims arising from motor vehicle accidents generally have a two-year deadline. Under Wisconsin's comparative negligence law, your share of fault may reduce or prevent compensation.
