“We Work For You”
Contrary to common belief, many Motorcycle, Scooter, and Moped deaths and serious injuries in Wisconsin are actually caused by the negligence of other drivers, such as motor vehicle drivers who run red lights, fail to yield the right of way, or are distracted while driving. It is almost never the motorcyclists, scooter or moped operators fault. Despite the motorcyclists’, scooter or moped operators best defensive driving; they become the victim of someone else’s bad driving.

For personal and professional legal representation in motorcycle, scooter, and moped injury cases contact DERZON & MENARD.

* Dispelling Myths and Establishing Facts
Unfortunately, misconceptions about motorcyclists do persist in our society. Movies like “Wild One” and “Easy Rider” have created the myth that motorcyclists are free-spirited thrill seekers. At DERZON & MENARD, we know that most motorcyclists are responsible and safe drivers. We work hard to dismantle the myths and stereotypes that often prejudice the thinking of insurance companies and jurors.
Putting together a case firmly grounded in evidence and facts, our attorneys explain the cause of the accident and how the actions of bad drivers resulted in an accident and injury to you. Emphasizing the rules of the road and the obligations of drivers toward motorcyclists, scooter and moped operators, we identify failures on the part of other motorists and hold them accountable for their negligence.
This negligence often entails:
- Inattentive driving while talking on a cell phone
- Following the motorcycle too closely
- Cutting off the motorcycle when making a sudden lane change
- Turning in front of a motorcycle
- Other driver negligence
Motorcycle, scooter and moped accident injuries and deaths are also commonly caused by other factors, such as defective tires, dangerous or defective roads or other causes. We use our investigation skills to bring forth such evidence and pursue accountability. DERZON & MENARD uses accident reconstruction experts, skid mark experts and eye-witness testimony to build a strong case.
Even if the motorcyclist, scooter or moped motorists wears a helmet or other protective gear, the individual’s body and head are exposed to serious injury, such as a traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury or severe road rash and burns. Surviving accident victims will likely be faced with a long and expensive recovery.
