Bicycle & Bike Injury Attorney 

Wisconsin motorists are required by law to maintain at least a three foot distance from bicyclists at all times, including when passing. If a driver cannot pass a bicyclist without giving at least three feet of space, then they should wait until it is safer to pass. This rule also applies to drivers who are passing e-bikes, other motorized bicycles, and motorized scooters (recreational or medical). 

One of the most common questions drivers have regarding passing a bicycle is whether or not they can cross a double yellow line in order to safely pass. The answer is yes. Wisconsin allows you to pass bicyclists and those on motorized bikes and scooters in a no-passing zone, as long as the person you are passing is doing less than half the posted speed limit in the area of passing. See Wis. Stat. 346.09(3)(b). 

If you have been hurt due to inaction, negligence, or misconduct in a bicycling injury, you need to consult with an injury attorney as quickly as possible. The attorney you speak with will be able to provide sufficient guidance and advice about how to resolve your injury case successfully. From referencing the accident report, to any footage from police cameras and eyewitness reports, we will take every measure to support your injury claim. With the help of your bike injury attorney, you will have the best chance of a successful outcome.
