Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Wisconsin
Bicycle accidents in Wisconsin often happen in predictable and preventable ways. According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Safety, 894 crashes involving bicyclists occurred statewide in 2024, resulting in eight bicyclist fatalities and 787 injuries. WisDOT data also shows that the most common bicycle crash scenarios include:
- Motorists failing to yield the right of way to straight-through bicyclists while making left turns
- Motorists failing to yield at controlled intersections
- Bicyclists failing to yield at controlled intersections
- Motorists turning right on red without yielding to cyclists
Many of these crashes occur because drivers misjudge a cyclist’s speed, overlook a bicycle in traffic, or fail to follow basic right-of-way rules. When motorists ignore traffic laws designed to protect cyclists, the consequences can be severe. Identifying how a crash occurred plays a key role in determining fault and pursuing accountability under Wisconsin law.
If driver negligence caused your bike crash, The Goldwater Law Firm can review what happened and help connect you with a Wisconsin bicycle accident attorney from one of our law firm partners. Call us now to get started.

How Bicycle Accidents Impact Health, Finances, and Families in Wisconsin
A bicycle accident can place an immediate and lasting burden on injured cyclists and their families. In a Wisconsin bicycle accident claim, compensation may address:
- Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and future care needs
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Long-term or permanent physical limitations
- Damage to a bicycle, helmet, and other safety equipment
Bicycle crashes often cause severe injuries because cyclists lack the physical protection of a motor vehicle. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal injuries, and complex fractures are common, and some collisions result in fatalities. In fatal crashes, surviving family members may have legal options through a wrongful death claim.
A bicycle accident attorney from one of our law firm partners can help by documenting the full extent of your losses, working with medical professionals and other experts, and pursuing accountability from the party responsible for the crash.

Frequently Asked Questions
The value of a bicycle accident case in Wisconsin depends on the unique circumstances of the crash and how it affected your life. The outcome often turns on factors such as the seriousness of your injuries, whether they caused lasting limitations, how the collision disrupted your ability to work or live independently, and the quality of the evidence showing the driver was at fault.
A bicycle accident attorney from one of our law firm partners can review these and other factors, explain how Wisconsin law applies to your situation, and help you understand the compensation you may qualify for based on the facts of your case.
Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence rule, allowing an injured cyclist to pursue compensation as long as they are not more negligent than the other party. However:
- Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault
- If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages
Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame onto cyclists to limit payouts or deny financial recovery altogether. A bicycle accident attorney can challenge these arguments and protect your right to pursue compensation under Wisconsin law.
You are not legally required to hire a lawyer, but insurance companies do not prioritize injured cyclists’ interests. Their goal is to reduce payouts, deny claims, or shift fault whenever possible.
When you work with a bicycle accident attorney through one of our law firm partners, they can:
- Handle all communication with insurance adjusters
- Prevent recorded statements from being used against you
- Accurately calculate damages, including future losses
- Push back against unfair settlement offers
- Prepare the case for trial if negotiations fail
Having legal representation allows you to focus on healing while a professional protects your rights and financial interests.
