Can I File a Motorcycle Accident Claim if I Wasn't Wearing a Helmet?

Did you know that the Law Firm of Hupy and Abraham was involved in the legislation of the motorcycle helmet laws in Wisconsin? Previously, insurance companies could deny claims or pay less if the injured victim wasn't wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. However, the law now states that adults can choose whether or not they want to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in the state of Wisconsin. Michael Hupy was standing next to the Governor when he signed the bill that prevents insurance companies from factoring this into their settlements. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as minors must always wear a helmet when riding.
If you or a loved one has been in a motorcycle accident in the state of Wisconsin or Illinois and have questions, please call Hupy and Abraham at (800) 800-5678.
