If it’s determined that you have a motorcycle accident case, you are guaranteed to speak to a GTW lawyer.
Our experienced team of personal injury attorneys will gather and present all of the pertinent information relevant to your case in court. Part of that process will include proving the other party is at fault for the accident and then showing the injuries and damages you sustained were the result of the accident. This process could take several months, so it’s important to have legal representation. See More
Compensation from a motorcycle accident can be significant because of the seriousness of the accident. However, it depends on several factors, like the severity of the accident injuries, physical damage sustained, who is liable and insurance policies.
Regardless, you are entitled to the full cost of treatment — not just out-of-pocket expenses. You may also be entitled to punitive damages, such as pain and suffering, lost wages, etc.
Our GTW Lawyers team has a record of fighting for higher settlements on behalf of our clients. See More
The amount of time depends on the severity of the motorcycle accident and how long each party takes to complete their findings. Minor motorcycle collisions can be wrapped up in a matter of weeks. However, if there is significant injury or death or if a lawsuit has been filed, it can take between one to three years.
However, once a motorcycle accident case is settled, any additional expenses will become the plaintiff’s responsibility, so it’s important to speak to a personal injury attorney who specializes in motorcycle accidents. See More
When involved in a motorcycle accident in a no-fault state, like Michigan or Minnesota, your own insurance company will pay for any medical bills and accident-related expenses up to your coverage limit. Any additional expenses may be covered by the other driver’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage.

Like any auto accident, motorcycle accident victims typically have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to the current Wisconsin statute of limitations. However, if death occurs, the statute of limitations to file a wrongful death lawsuit is two years. See More
The statute of limitations is a time limit established by the laws of Wisconsin, and it determines how long you have to file a lawsuit. The statute of limitations varies depending on the details of your motorcycle accident, so we recommend you pursue your case immediately. See More
If you are injured in a motorcycle accident that is not your fault, the other driver and their insurance company are responsible for expenses that may result from the collision, including property damage, medical bills, lost income or pain and suffering. See More
Those injured in a motorcycle accident are entitled to the full value of their medical treatment. This includes the actual cost of the treatment, not just their copay or deductible. Oftentimes, insurance carriers attempt to reduce damages by offering to pay only “out of pocket” expenses, which leaves the injured person less than whole.
While your health insurance carrier has to pay for your medical expenses, they also have the right to be paid back. This is generally referred to as subrogation.
Keep in mind that you may be entitled to more than medical expense reimbursement. Punitive damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages and more are often part of personal injury cases. See More

If a person dies as a result of a motorcycle accident, it can become a wrongful death case. Spouses, parents, children, siblings and grandparents may have a wrongful death claim, and the relationship with the deceased will dictate priority. The types of damages that can be sought depend on this relationship and can include financial support that a survivor would have received, value of household services that would have been provided by the deceased, loss of companionship, affection, love, care, comfort and society, loss of consortium (sexual relations) for the surviving spouse, as well as funeral and burial expenses.
