Motorcycle accident attorney Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Motorcycles result in nearly 60,000
serious injuries
every year. The most common reason for
motorcycle accidents
is the inability of other drivers to see the motorcyclist. The vast majority of motorcycle accidents occur at intersections and the majority of motorcycle accidents are not due to the fault of the motorcycle driver.
At Rozek Law Offices we have experience handling Wisconsin motorcycle accident cases. Attorney Rozek began riding motorcycles as a child and has continued his love for motorcycles as an adult.
We have aggressively fought the most common defenses in motorcycle accident cases, the motorcycle was speeding or the motorcyclists were not wearing helmets. Fortunately, we have had success overcoming these defenses through our use of nationwide experts. These experts can address the human factors elements of the witnesses that claim they thought the motorcyclist was speeding. In general, our experts have established that it is common for people to perceive that a motorcycle is traveling at a greater rate of speed that it actually is traveling.
We have also successfully used conspicuity experts to establish that the at-fault driver violated the
Wisconsin Rules of the Road
in the operation of their vehicle. With regard to the failure to wear a helmet defense, it is used primarily in Wisconsin motorcycle accidents that result in traumatic brain injuries. The burden is on the defense to show that the injuries would not have occurred had the motorcycle rider been wearing a helmet. However, the law in Wisconsin recently changed. In 2003, the Wisconsin legislature created
Section 901.53 Wisconsin Statutes, which limits the ability of defendants from raising the failure to wear a helmet as a defense in a civil lawsuit.
