Mopeds are a convenient and economical way to get around North Augusta, but they offer little protection when an accident happens. If you were injured while riding a moped near Martintown Road, Knox Avenue, or anywhere in Aiken or Edgefield County, you may be entitled to compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we help moped riders recover after being hit by careless drivers. We understand the unique challenges moped accident victims face, and we know how to fight back when insurance companies try to downplay your injuries.
How Moped Accidents Happen
Moped riders are often overlooked by other drivers. Many crashes happen because someone wasn’t paying attention, or didn’t respect your right to share the road.
Common causes of moped accidents include:
- Drivers turning in front of a moped
- Unsafe lane changes
- Rear-end collisions
- Drunk or distracted drivers
- Poor road conditions or lack of signage
- Speeding and reckless driving
Whether you were commuting to work or riding through a neighborhood, we’ll investigate and prove what went wrong, and who’s responsible.
Common Injuries in Moped Accidents
Because mopeds offer very little protection, injuries tend to be serious even at low speeds.
We help clients with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Road rash and skin damage
- Internal bleeding and organ injuries
- Long-term disability
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death claims)
We work with medical experts to fully understand the scope of your injuries and calculate what you’ll need to recover now and into the future.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were hit by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and anxiety
- Long-term disability or permanent impairment
- Moped repairs or replacement
- Funeral costs (for fatal crashes)
We don’t settle for quick, low offers. We build strong cases that demand full compensation.
What If the Insurance Company Tries to Blame You?
Insurance companies often try to reduce or deny compensation by blaming the rider. But under South Carolina’s modified comparative fault rule:
- You can still recover compensation if you’re less than 51% at fault
- Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility
We push back with crash scene evidence, police reports, medical records, and expert testimony to protect your rights.
