Motorcycle Accidents
Injuries suffered as a result of motorcycle accidents can be very serious. The motorcycle provides virtually no protection for the rider and, unfortunately, drivers of motor vehicles often do not respect the “space” of the motorcyclist. Most often accidents involving motorcycles are not the fault of the cyclist. Such accidents may also involve drunk or hit and run drivers, uninsured or under insured drivers.
There are on average three (3) major “bike weeks” per year in the Grand Strand area of South Carolina. One of the weeks draws in excess of 300,000 bikers. Duty of care and foresee ability are two essential aspects of negligence cases. The sheer number of bikers, and the fact that South Carolina laws do not require the use of helmets for those over 21 years of age, results in a heightened risk of accidents and injuries
Injuries suffered as a result of these types of accidents can be severe and life changing. These accident often result in:
- Back injuries
- Head injuries
- Brain injuries
- Facial injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Road burns/scrapes
- Fractures
- Permanent disability or impairment
- Death
