A TRUSTED PARTNER FOR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT REFERRALS AND TRIAL CO‑COUNSEL

Wisconsin Motorcycle Injury and Wrongful Death Cases

McCarthy Motorcycle Law is a Wisconsin motorcycle accident and wrongful death law firm focused exclusively on serious motorcycle cases. We regularly accept referrals and serve as trial co‑counsel for attorneys who want experienced, motorcycle‑specific litigation support.

Our practice is built around catastrophic injury and fatal motorcycle crashes. We are routinely brought into cases involving disputed liability, complex damages, rider‑bias defenses, road design issues, and aggressive insurance opposition.

A MOTORCYCLE‑FOCUSED PRACTICE

Motorcycle accident cases present issues that do not arise in standard auto litigation. Firms that handle these cases occasionally often underestimate the role of rider bias, mechanical dynamics, and narrative framing.

Our work routinely involves:

  • Countering anti‑motorcyclist assumptions before juries

  • Addressing helmet use and comparative‑fault arguments

  • Explaining motorcycle dynamics, braking, and visibility

  • Preserving and presenting gear and motorcycle evidence

  • Coordinating specialized medical, biomechanical, and engineering experts

We approach these cases as a distinct category of litigation, not as an extension of car‑accident practice.

TRIAL‑READY REPRESENTATION

We prepare every referred motorcycle case as if it will be tried.

That preparation affects:

  • Expert selection and sequencing

  • Discovery strategy

  • Case valuation

  • Settlement posture

We have tried injury and wrongful death cases to verdict against well‑funded defendants and national carriers. Our readiness to proceed to trial materially changes how cases are evaluated by insurers and defense counsel.

REFERRAL AND CO‑COUNSEL OPTIONS

We work with referring attorneys in several ways, depending on the needs of the case and the preferences of counsel:

  • Full referral, with fee‑sharing in compliance with Wisconsin’s Rules of Professional Conduct

  • Joint representation, with shared responsibility and trial preparation

  • Trial‑only engagement, including jury selection, expert development, or verdict

We are flexible about timing and scope. We have entered cases at intake, during litigation, and on the eve of trial.

ETHICS, TRANSPARENCY, AND RESPECT FOR REFERRING COUNSEL

We pay referral fees consistent with Wisconsin ethics rules and work regularly with attorneys from other jurisdictions when a motorcycle crash occurred in Wisconsin.

When a case is referred or co‑counseled:

  • Referring counsel remains informed and respected

  • Fee arrangements are clear and documented

  • Strategy and case posture are transparent

  • Client relationships are honored

We are not interested in client poaching or transactional referrals. Many of our strongest cases come from long‑term professional relationships with lawyers in other practice areas.

WHEN TO CONSIDER INVOLVING US

Attorneys often contact us when:

We are candid about whether a case is a good fit and will say so if we believe another approach is better.

MOTORCYCLE‑SPECIFIC CREDIBILITY

Our team includes riders and former riders, and we have handled motorcycle cases across Wisconsin involving urban, rural, and highway crashes. That background informs how we evaluate evidence, prepare witnesses, and present rider conduct in a way that juries understand.

This experience is not a marketing point. It is part of how we litigate effectively in cases where misunderstanding motorcycles can decide outcomes.

LET’S TALK

If you have a motorcycle injury or wrongful death case that would benefit from focused experience—or if you are looking for trial co‑counsel—we are available to discuss it.

There is no obligation. We will give you an honest assessment and outline how we could assist, if at all.
