Bicycle Safety in Wisconsin

You were on your way to work in Wauwatosa, backing out of your driveway in Madison, or heading home through Green Bay when it happened. An Amazon delivery truck—rushing to stay on schedule—slammed into your car. Now, your vehicle is damaged, you may be injured, and you're left wondering:

Who is responsible?

Can I hold Amazon accountable?

What steps do I need to take right now?

With Amazon delivery vans and third-party contractors flooding Wisconsin neighborhoods daily, accidents are becoming more common in Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton, and beyond. If you've been hit by one, you're not alone—and you don't have to figure it out on your own.

At Natasha Misra Law, we help people across Wisconsin recover after truck accidents involving companies like Amazon. We’ll fight to protect your rights, handle the insurance companies, and pursue the full compensation you deserve. Let’s look at what you should do first, and how our truck accident attorneys can help.

Assess Your Safety First

Your health is the most important priority. If you’ve been hit by an Amazon delivery vehicle:

Move to a safe area, if possible.
Call 911 and request medical attention.
Accept help from emergency responders—even if you think you're “okay.” Many injuries aren’t immediately obvious.
Getting prompt medical care not only protects your health, but it also creates vital documentation that connects your injuries to the accident.

Document the Scene

The more information you can collect, the stronger your case may be. After a crash involving an Amazon delivery truck:

Take photos of the vehicles, the Amazon logo or markings, damage, skid marks, road signs, and injuries.
Get the driver's name, phone number, and employer (many Amazon deliveries are made by third-party contractors).
Ask witnesses for their names and contact information.
Save everything—including your medical records, car repair estimates, and receipts. We’ll help you build a clear and thorough claim.

Why Amazon Delivery Accidents Are Different

Amazon doesn’t operate like a traditional trucking company. Many of their delivery drivers work for independent delivery service partners (DSPs)—third-party companies under contract. That means you may be dealing with:

A driver’s personal insurance
The DSP’s commercial policy
Amazon’s corporate legal team

And none of them are eager to pay out a claim. Because of these layers, determining who is legally responsible takes experience. At Natasha Misra Law, we know how to dig deep, find out who’s liable, and make sure your rights are protected.

Cycling is an excellent option for exercising, enjoying the fresh air, and commuting. However, bicycle accidents can cause severe injuries to cyclists hit by negligent drivers.

What are Wisconsin's Bicycle Safety Rules?

As you ride your bike in Appleton, Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, or any other area in Wisconsin, follow the following bicycle safety rules:

Wear your helmet: 70 to 80 percent of bicycle accidents involve head injuries. Wearing helmets minimizes the possibility of sustaining head injuries. Always check for a Consumer Product Safety Committee sticker before purchasing a helmet.

Go with the Flow: Cyclists should ride in the same direction as traffic, and by doing so, you'll be more visible, allowing other road users to respond appropriately and quickly. When cycling against traffic, you may miss the red and green lights or enter an intersection at an unsafe or improper time.

Be Spatially Aware: Ride in a straight line without going off course and maintain at least 3 feet from parked vehicles to avoid "dooring accidents."

Obey Traffic Laws: Even though you’re on a bike, you still have to obey the rules of the road. Don’t forget to stop at stop signs, signal when you’re turning, and always make sure you’re alert and aware of your surroundings.

Stay Visible: When riding a bike a night you’re even less likely to be seen by motorists. To make sure you’re as noticeable as possible, use a reflector when riding at night.

Why is Bicycle Safety Important?

Although riding a bike may be fun, you can pick up serious injuries from a bike accident. Bike safety helps to make cycling enjoyable. Simple bicycle safety measures like wearing a helmet can reduce a significant proportion of bicycle accident fatalities.

Common Causes of Bike Accidents

Several factors contribute to bicycle accidents in Wisconsin. Bicycles are not easy to see, and most riders are unfamiliar with road laws. However, even if road users are unfamiliar with road laws, it should not be used as an excuse. Here are some of the causes of bike accidents:

Dangerous Roads: Unkempt roads cause 3% of bicycle accidents in the United States.

Low Visibility: Bikes are small, and most drivers may be unable to see them, particularly at night.

Distracted Driving: When drivers and riders use their phones or get distracted by other passengers, music, or thoughts, they may end up causing accidents.

Failure to Yield: Right of way in crossing paths or where traffic merges can help prevent accidents. A bike accident is more likely to occur when a motorist fails to yield to a rider in a crosswalk or bike lane.

Bike Safety Tips

Plan your route
Pay attention
Obey traffic signs
Tie your shoelaces
Avoid using your phone or listening to music while cycling
Anticipate what other motorists may do and act appropriately
Use the right-hand signals
Ensure all parts of the bike are working
Have rear and front lights during the day or at night
