Motorcycle Accidents

Milwaukee Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Motorcycle accidents often result in severe, life-changing injuries. At Stanford Law Offices, S.C., we are passionate advocates for injured motorcyclists throughout Milwaukee and Wisconsin.

Our firm proudly sponsored the AMA District 16 Annual Banquet and Awards Ceremony in 2025 — the local chapter of the American Motorcyclist Association that organizes motorcycle and ATV events across Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. This isn't just marketing — it's genuine community involvement that gives us real insight into the risks riders face every day.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Drivers failing to see motorcycles at intersections
Left-turn collisions — the most dangerous scenario for riders
Distracted drivers (texting, phone use)
Unsafe lane changes and merging
Road hazards (potholes, gravel, debris) that cars can absorb but motorcycles cannot
Dooring accidents in urban areas

Why Motorcycle Accident Claims Require Specialized Knowledge

Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists for their own injuries — citing speed, lane positioning, or lack of protective gear. Our founder Peter Stanford spent years on the insurance defense side before switching to fight for injured people. We know these tactics inside and out, and we know how to counter them.

I was riding on a rural road when a motor vehicle tried to pass me. As it was trying to pass me, it did not go into the other lane and clipped my rear tire. When it clipped my rear tire, it forced my bike down causing me to turn sideways several times until the bike ultimately came to rest on top of me. I lost consciousness. Fortunately, the motorist stopped and called 911. I was taken to the emergency room and treated for multiple injuries to my head, neck, shoulders, arms, ribs, hips and a number of internal injuries. I hired Stanford Law Offices and we sued the motorist. He did not have sufficient insurance to compensate me for my injuries. In addition to suing the other motorist, I was able to recover the balance of my damages through Underinsured Motorist coverage. I would not have known about Underinsured Motorist coverage had Stanford Law Offices not represented me and pursued this matter on behalf of me and my family. In short, I was compensated for my past and future medical expenses, past and future pain, suffering and disability, past and future lost income, property damage to my bike and out-of-pocket expenses. My family has Stanford Law Offices to thank for helping us through these terrible times.

Common Mistakes To Avoid After A Milwaukee Motorcycle Accidents Case

The moments after a motorcycle crash are chaotic, but what you do next matters. As Milwaukee motorcycle accidents attorneys, we have seen too many people unintentionally damage their claims. We have summarized several common mistakes we encourage every client to avoid.

Do not navigate this alone. Insurance companies have teams working to minimize payouts. We have represented injured Wisconsinites since 1989 and can help you understand your rights and pursue fair compensation.

Waiting too long to get legal advice

Evidence fades and deadlines apply. Early guidance protects your options.

Giving a recorded statement without counsel

Insurers may use your words against you. Let an attorney review the situation first.

Accepting the first settlement offer

Initial offers rarely reflect the full cost of serious injuries and long-term care.

Skipping follow-up medical care

Gaps in treatment make it harder to prove the connection between the incident and your injuries.

Posting about your case on social media

Posts can be taken out of context and used to undermine your claim.
