Mopeds are a popular and convenient way to get around Orangeburg, whether you’re heading through downtown, riding near South Carolina State University, or commuting along Russell Street. But when a careless driver crashes into a moped, the injuries can be serious, and the insurance process can be frustrating.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injured moped riders in Orangeburg, Brookdale, Cordova, and throughout Orangeburg County. If you were hit while riding, we’re ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.
What Causes Moped Accidents?
Mopeds are smaller and slower than cars, which means drivers often don’t see—or don’t respect them.
Common causes of moped crashes include:
- Drivers turning in front of mopeds
- Unsafe lane changes
- Rear-end collisions at stoplights
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding or aggressive behavior
- Poor road maintenance or visibility
We investigate what happened, collect evidence, and build a strong case to hold the at-fault party accountable.
Common Moped Accident Injuries
Mopeds offer no protection to the rider, which means even low-speed crashes can lead to serious or permanent injuries.
We represent riders with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Road rash and facial injuries
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Permanent scarring or disability
- Wrongful death (for fatal moped accidents)
We work closely with your doctors and specialists to calculate what your recovery will cost, and what you need to move forward.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If your crash was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced future earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Long-term rehabilitation or disability
- Property damage (moped replacement)
- Funeral and burial expenses (in fatal accidents)
We don’t accept lowball offers. We fight for every dollar you’re owed.
What If the Insurance Company Blames You?
It’s common for insurers to say:
- “You weren’t wearing a helmet.”
- “You shouldn’t have been riding there.”
- “You were driving too slowly or unpredictably.”
But under South Carolina’s modified comparative fault law, you can still recover compensation if you’re less than 51% at fault. We push back with crash reports, witness statements, and expert analysis.
