About McCarthy Law
McCarthy Law is a litigation-focused practice representing individuals and families in serious injury and wrongful death cases, with a primary focus on motorcycle-related litigation. The firm also has experience handling select employment and whistleblower matters when the facts and issues warrant careful, trial-oriented representation.
The practice is intentionally structured as a low-volume firm. Rather than handling a high number of cases, McCarthy Law limits its caseload so each matter receives close attention from intake through resolution. This approach allows for early investigation, disciplined case development, and preparation with trial in mind from the outset.
Motorcycle injury cases are a significant focus of the firm’s work. These cases often involve catastrophic injuries, complex liability issues, and entrenched bias against riders. The firm represents motorcyclists and their families in disputes with drivers, insurers, and corporate defendants, emphasizing accountability and clear presentation of the facts.
McCarthy Law regularly works with co-counsel, experts, and specialists across jurisdictions and maintains state-specific practices to address the legal and procedural differences that arise in motorcycle injury litigation.
The firm represents clients in matters arising in Wisconsin and California, depending on the nature of the case and applicable law.
