Motorcycle Collisions in Madison

Motorcycle crashes in Madison are often severe due to the rider's exposure and lack of protective barriers compared to other motorists. Accidents on high-traffic routes such as I-565 can be especially hazardous, with fast-moving vehicles and dense traffic increasing the likelihood of serious injuries.

Motorcyclists commonly suffer from injuries such as fractured limbs, head trauma, spinal injuries, internal organ damage, and extensive abrasions. Recovery can be long and costly, often requiring extensive treatment and time away from employment. Following a crash, it’s essential for victims to seek immediate medical care and consider legal support to safeguard their well-being and financial future.
