Clemson Motorcycle Accidents Lead to Personal Injury

Although many of South Carolina’s criminal laws are very strict, motorcycle safety laws are lax compared to other states. Eye protection and motorcycle helmets are required only for riders under the age of 21; only one mirror is required to see behind the motorcycle; and they may run red lights after fully stopping and waiting for 120 seconds.

Unfortunately, this means that motorcycle accidents in South Carolina can be devastating. Motorcycles are smaller than many other vehicles on the road, which means that careless or distracted drivers will have a harder time seeing a motorcyclist. If you have been severely injured because of a motorcycle accident, or a loved one was killed in a motorcycle accident, you may have a personal injury case if the driver who caused the accident was on their phone, messing with the radio, eating, intoxicated, or otherwise not paying attention.

Motorcycle accidents in South Carolina are almost always serious and devastating. Injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents can include the following:

• Broken bones;
• Internal organ damage;
• Damage to eyes that limits vision;
• Damage to spinal cord that limits movement;
• Concussion or traumatic brain injury; and/or
• Death

If you were involved in a motorcycle accident that left you temporarily or permanently disabled, you could face lost wages while you take time away from work; you may have to find different work because you are unable to perform the job you did before; or you may suffer large medical bills due to long hospital stays, numerous surgeries, physical therapy, prescription medications, or other medical treatment. If your motorcycle accident injuries were caused by another’s negligence, intoxication, or malice, then you do not have to suffer in silence. A South Carolina personal injury attorney can help you fight for financial compensation.
