Milwaukee Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Protecting Injured Riders and Pursuing the Compensation They Deserve
Motorcyclists face unique risks every time they hit the road. Despite taking every precaution, riders are vulnerable to the careless actions of others — distracted drivers, speeding vehicles, road hazards, and more. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injuries are often devastating, life-altering, or even fatal.
At Mulholland Injury Law, we fight to protect the rights of Milwaukee’s motorcyclists. If you’ve been injured in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence, our dedicated Milwaukee motorcycle accident lawyers are ready to help you seek the full compensation you need to heal and move forward.
We don’t just handle motorcycle accident claims — we take pride in standing up for riders when insurance companies try to blame them or minimize their injuries.
Understanding the Unique Challenges of Motorcycle Accident Cases
Motorcycle accident claims are not like regular car accident cases. Motorcyclists often face:
- Bias from Insurance Companies: There’s a common misconception that motorcyclists are reckless, leading insurers to unfairly shift blame.
- Severe Injuries: Without the protection of a car frame, bikers suffer far more serious injuries even at lower speeds.
- Higher Medical Costs: Hospitalizations, surgeries, long-term rehabilitation, and adaptive equipment can skyrocket expenses.
- Complex Liability Issues: Road defects, faulty motorcycle parts, and multiple vehicle involvement can complicate liability.
Our firm understands these challenges. We know how to break through bias, gather strong evidence, and tell your story in a way that insurance companies, judges, and juries will respect.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Milwaukee
We have helped injured riders in a wide range of cases involving:
Distracted Drivers
Failure to Yield
Speeding and Aggressive Driving
Impaired Driving
Unsafe Lane Changes
Dooring Accidents
Dangerous Road Conditions
Whatever the cause, we work tirelessly to uncover the truth and hold the at-fault party accountable.
Types of Injuries After a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accidents often cause catastrophic injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), even with a helmet
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Severe fractures and orthopedic injuries
- Road rash requiring skin grafts
- Internal organ damage
- Amputations
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Wrongful death
Victims may need years of rehabilitation, multiple surgeries, or lifelong medical care. We work to ensure your claim reflects the true extent of your suffering — both now and in the future.

Milwaukee Motorcycle Accident Laws You Should Know
- Comparative Negligence Rule: Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover damages — as long as you are not more than 50% responsible.
- Helmet Laws: Wisconsin requires helmets for riders under 18 and for those with instructional permits. Not wearing a helmet cannot automatically bar you from compensation, but it could impact certain claims.
- Statute of Limitations: Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long could cost you your right to recover damages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I have a case if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
Yes, you can still have a case. Helmet use could affect damage calculations for head injuries, but it doesn’t erase another driver’s negligence.
How long do I have to file a claim after a motorcycle accident?
Under Wisconsin law, you generally have three years, but there are exceptions. It’s best to consult a lawyer right away to protect your rights.
Will my motorcycle accident case go to trial?
Most cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure we have maximum leverage.
