Motorcycle riders are some of the most vulnerable people on South Carolina roads. When a car or truck driver fails to look twice, the results can be life-changing. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident in Anderson, Belton, or Powdersville, you have the right to seek compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injured motorcyclists and their families. We take on the insurance company, investigate the crash, and fight to get you the medical coverage and financial support you need to recover.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle crashes are caused by negligent drivers not by the motorcyclist.
We handle cases involving:
- Drivers turning left into the motorcyclist’s path
- Unsafe lane changes or merges
- Tailgating or rear-end collisions
- Distracted or texting drivers
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving
- Drivers failing to yield at intersections
If your crash happened on Highway 29, Main Street, or near Anderson University, we’ll investigate the scene and build a case for liability.
Motorcycle Injuries Are Often Severe
Because motorcycles don’t have the protections of a car, even a low-speed crash can cause major injuries.
We represent riders with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Road rash and skin graft needs
- Broken bones or crushed limbs
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Facial injuries or disfigurement
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death cases)
We work with medical professionals to fully document your injuries—and connect them directly to the crash.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If someone else caused your motorcycle crash, you may be eligible to recover:
- Medical expenses (ER care, surgery, rehab)
- Future medical treatment or home modifications
- Lost wages and loss of future earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Emotional trauma
- Motorcycle damage or replacement
- Funeral and burial costs (in fatal crashes)
We handle everything so you don’t have to fight with the insurance company while you’re healing.
What If the Insurance Company Blames You?
It’s common for insurers to blame the motorcyclist, even when the evidence says otherwise. They might say:
- You were speeding
- You weren’t visible
- You didn’t have a helmet (even if one isn’t required by law)
South Carolina follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover compensation as long as you’re less than 51% at fault. We push back against unfair blame tactics and use crash reports, photos, and expert analysis to defend your side. Motorcycle accident claims aren’t the same as regular car accidents. They involve more serious injuries, more frequent liability disputes, and more aggressive insurance tactics.
