Motorcycle Accidents

Protecting the Rights of Riders

Motorcycle accidents can cause life-altering injuries leaving injured riders struggling with pain, lost wages, and financial instability. Motorcycle riders often suffer the most severe consequences when other careless drivers fail to pay attention or ignore traffic laws. Often insurance companies unfairly criticize and blame injuries on riders due to a lack of concern and appreciation for their equal right to the road.

South Carolina law gives injured riders the right to the road and the right to seek compensation for the full extent of injuries caused by other careless drivers. With a dedicated attorney on your side, you can fight for the full settlement you need to move forward.

What Qualifies You for a Motorcycle Injury Lawsuit

Motorcyclists face greater risks than any other drivers on the road. You have the legal right to seek compensation and hold the at-fault party accountable if:

  • Another driver’s negligence caused the crash, such as speeding, reckless driving, or DUI.
  • You suffered serious injuries that resulted in medical expenses, lost wages, or physical impairment.
  • Even if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured you may have the ability to recover against other sources of insurance.
  • A defectively maintained vehicle or a hazardous road condition contributed to the accident and your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What compensation is available in a motorcycle accident case?

Medical bills, lost income, motorcycle repair costs, pain and suffering, and future medical care.

Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes, if you were 50% or less responsible for causing the accident (as determined by a jury which is not determined or even affected by how the police report was filled out).

What if the at-fault driver fled the scene?

Uninsured motorist coverage may help and an experienced attorney can use various resources to investigate the identity of the driver.

What if I wasn't wearing a helmet?

While only riders under 21 years of age are required by law to wear helmets, the lack of a helmet could play a role in your claim. But that should not discourage you from discussing your situation with a lawyer who can help you understand your options for recovery.

Are motorcycle accident claims different from car accident claims?

Yes, motorcyclists often face bias from insurers including unfair criticism and blame. SC Injury Law resists these insurance tactics and demands full and just compensation for clients.
