Motorcycle Accidents
If you’ve been in a car accident in Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton, Green Bay, or anywhere in Wisconsin, the moments afterward can shape your recovery — physically, emotionally, and financially. When no officer arrives to take an official accident report, you might feel like you’ve lost a key piece of your case. But you still have every right to protect yourself and pursue the compensation you deserve.
At Natasha Misra Law, we’ve built our practice on helping accident victims across Wisconsin through challenges just like this. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options, and handle the details so you can focus on getting back on your feet. Here’s what to do next.
If law enforcement isn’t coming, you need to build the record yourself:
Take photos – Capture vehicle damage, license plates, injuries, debris, and the full accident scene from different angles.
Exchange information – Get names, phone numbers, driver’s license numbers, license plates, and insurance details from everyone involved.
Talk to witnesses – Politely ask for their contact information and a brief statement about what they saw.
Think of this as creating your own “mini report”; it can become vital evidence later.
Wisconsin law says you must file a Driver Report of Crash within 10 days if:
You file this report with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) — not the DMV. You can do it online or request a paper form. It’s the state’s official record of your crash, and it can make or break an insurance claim.
Report the accident to your insurer as soon as you can. Stick to the facts you documented. Don’t admit fault or guess at details — just provide the evidence you’ve gathered.
Not all injuries show up right away. A stiff neck today could be a serious soft tissue injury tomorrow. Seeing a doctor immediately protects your health and ties your injuries directly to the crash in the medical record.
When there’s no police report, insurance companies often push back harder. Having the right lawyer means you’re not fighting alone. At Natasha Misra Law, we:

Riding a motorcycle is fun, adventurous, and thrilling. But motorcycling can also be innately dangerous. Reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that riding a motorcycle is 29 times more hazardous than riding a car. However, these statistics are likely not going to scare you off of your bike.
With the right motorcycle safety gear, you can enjoy the thrill of motorcycling while keeping yourself as safe as possible. Here is a checklist of safety gears you should wear before hitting the road.
Wearing a helmet can help you stay safe. In fact, safety is the primary reason helmets were created and required in most states. According to NHTSA, about 70 percent of bikers involved in accidents suffer head injuries.
Data from this agency indicates that helmets are 88% effective in reducing head injuries and deaths from motorcycle accidents. With the proper head protective gear, your head will stay protected and increase your visibility and safety.
The most important benefit of wearing cycling gloves is enhanced comfort. Bike gloves come with padding that helps protect your hands against vibrations that may cause tingling, numbness, or pain. Besides providing comfort over long distances, wearing gloves can help increase safety, provide warmth, and keep your hands dry when they sweat.
Wearing a motorcycle jacket will not only make you look cool but will also keep you warm in the cold weather. Motorcycle jackets are usually made of different materials such as synthetic and leather that provide perfect protection and style.
The jacket material you choose depends on your personal requirements and preferences. The most important thing is to ensure the jacket is well designed to serve its purpose and fits you comfortably. With a great motorcycle jacket, you can protect yourself from elements while staying warm.
Motorcycle riding pants are an integral part of your protective package. They can protect you from the environment and armor as well as ventilation in places that receive contact, such as the knees. Furthermore, pants with a brighter color can help increase visibility. Like jackets, motorcycle pants are available in different materials, including leather, textile, and denim, which can be used in a single piece or combination based on the riding style for which they are created.
Most motorcycle boots incorporate rider-specific features and are created with safety in mind. They come with built-in ankle protection, oil-resistant soles for a firm grip, and increased stiffness.
