Types & Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Our South Carolina motorcycle accident lawyers at Land Parker Welch LLC understand how negligent motor vehicle drivers cause the majority of collisions with motorcycles. Through the years, we have seen numerous motorcycle crashes caused by drivers who engaged in negligent acts such as:

  • Failure to keep a proper lookout (typically due to distraction)
  • Failure to yield the right of way at an intersection
  • Sharing a lane with a motorcycle
  • Trying to pass without leaving enough space
  • Making left or right turns in front of the motorcycle
  • Following the motorcycle too closely
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

We understand the different factual and legal issues that each of those accident types can present – and how to overcome those issues on behalf of our clients.

You should contact Land Parker Welch LLC as soon as possible after a motorcycle crash. What is important to you will always be what is most important to us. We will review the facts of your case and tailor a legal strategy that addresses your specific legal issues and goals.

Seeking Compensation After a Motorcycle Accident in South Carolina

Every motorcycle accident that our legal team handles is slightly different than the rest. This is because no two individuals or families are the same. Motorcycle wrecks affect people’s lives in different ways. So, the amount we pursue on your behalf will be unique to you and your situation.

For instance, the amount will reflect whether you suffered life-changing injuries. Many motorcycle accident victims suffer injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI) as well as burns, fractures and soft tissue injuries. The amount also will reflect the amount of available insurance coverage.

Types of Motorcycle Accident Damages

The damages that we typically seek for South Carolina motorcycle accident victims include:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost income and diminished earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of a loved one’s services and companionship
  • Punitive damages (if another’s extreme misconduct caused the crash).

If your loved one died in a motorcycle crash, we would seek a different set of damages through a survival and/or wrongful death claim, including the recovery of funeral expenses and loss of a loved one’s support.

Statute of Limitations for Motorcycle Accidents in South Carolina

The statute of limitations limits the time that you have to bring a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit after a motorcycle accident in South Carolina. If you fail to file a lawsuit by the appropriate deadline, you could lose your right to recover compensation. Generally, you must bring:

  • A personal injury lawsuit within three years from the date you suffered injuries in your motorcycle crash.
  • A wrongful death lawsuit within three years from the date of your loved one’s death.

Land Parker Welch LLC will review your case and determine the time limits that apply to it. We will handle all documents in your case in a timely and professional manner. You can focus on your health and your family – while we deal with deadlines and the insurance companies.
