Experienced Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in Minnesota & Wisconsin

Motorcycle Accidents often result in severe, life-changing injuries due to riders’ lack of protection compared to occupants of passenger vehicles. Even at low speeds, crashes can lead to catastrophic outcomes, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, road rash, amputations, and fatalities.

In Minnesota alone, hundreds of motorcycle crashes occur annually, with riders facing disproportionately high risks on busy highways and rural roads. Wisconsin sees similar dangers, amplified by seasonal riding and varying weather conditions.

At Justice Served Coalition, our dedicated Motorcycle Accident Lawyers serve clients throughout Minnesota (including Lake Elmo, Woodbury, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Bloomington, St. Louis Park, Maple Grove, Blaine, Roseville, St. Cloud, Hudson, WI and the Twin Cities metro area) and throughout Wisconsin.

We aggressively fight Insurance Companies that often harbor bias against motorcyclists, working to secure full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, bike repairs/replacement, and long-term care.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Minnesota & Wisconsin

Motorcyclists are vulnerable to dangers largely caused by other drivers. Leading causes include:

• Left-turn violations (vehicles turning into a rider’s path)
• Lane changes without checking blind spots
• Distracted driving (cell phones, navigation)
• Speeding or aggressive driving
• DUI/DWI by other motorists
• Poor road conditions (potholes, debris, gravel)
• Defective motorcycle parts
• Adverse weather, including rain, fog, or sudden wind gusts

High-traffic corridors like I-94, I-35, and urban streets in the Twin Cities see elevated risks.

Common Types of Motorcycle Accidents

• Due to exposure, crashes frequently involve:
• Left-Turn Collisions – Most common and deadly.
• Lane-Splitting or Merging Crashes
• Rear-End Impacts
• Head-On Collisions
• Single-Vehicle Accidents (losing control on curves or hazards)
• Road Rash from Sliding
• Fixed-Object Collisions (guardrails, trees)

Even “minor” incidents can cause serious harm.

Common Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

Riders often suffer:

• Traumatic brain injuries (even with helmets)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and fractures
• Severe road rash requiring skin grafts
• Internal organ damage
• Amputations
• Burns and scarring
• Emotional trauma, including PTSD

Long-term rehabilitation and adaptive equipment may be needed.

Motorcycle Accident Laws in Minnesota & Wisconsin

Both Minnesota and Wisconsin follow the rule of modified comparative negligence. This means you can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault, though your award will be reduced proportionally to your share of responsibility. Many victims worry that they might be partially at fault and hesitate to pursue a claim -but you do not need to determine negligence on your own. Our Experienced Attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case, gather evidence, and accurately assess fault.

Even if you believe you may share some responsibility, it is worth contacting us for a free consultation. We will honestly evaluate your situation and fight for the maximum recovery you deserve.

• Minnesota is a No-Fault state for initial medical/wage benefits via PIP, but serious injuries meeting thresholds allow lawsuits against the at-fault driver.
• Wisconsin follows traditional Fault-Based rules, allowing direct claims against the negligent party.

Helmet laws differ: Minnesota requires helmets for riders under 18 and those with instructional permits; Wisconsin requires them only for riders under 18 or with less than one year of experience.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

3. Document the Scene – Photos of vehicles, road conditions, injuries, and skid marks.
4. Gather Information – Driver details, witnesses, insurance info.
5. Preserve Evidence – Keep damaged helmet, clothing, and bike.
