Mopeds are an affordable and convenient way to get around Spartanburg especially along busy roads like Asheville Highway, East Main Street, and near the downtown district. But when drivers fail to share the road, moped riders face the risk of serious injury in even low-speed crashes.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injured moped riders throughout Spartanburg County. Whether you were struck by a distracted driver, hit while turning, or rear-ended in traffic, we’ll help you recover the compensation you need for medical treatment, lost wages, and long-term care.
Common Causes of Moped Accidents in Spartanburg
Most moped crashes happen because drivers simply don’t see or respect smaller vehicles on the road. We handle cases involving:
- Drivers turning left into a moped’s path
- Unsafe lane changes without checking blind spots
- Rear-end collisions at intersections
- Speeding or aggressive driving in high-traffic areas
- Distracted or impaired drivers
- Failure to yield at traffic lights or stop signs
We investigate thoroughly to determine who was at fault, and hold them accountable.
Injuries in Moped Accidents Can Be Severe
Moped riders have little to no physical protection. Helmets can help reduce head trauma, but they can’t prevent the full impact of a crash with a much larger vehicle.
We help riders recover from injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Road rash, deep lacerations, and infections
- Amputations or permanent disability
- Fatal injuries in high-impact crashes
We work with medical professionals to document the severity and long-term impact of your injuries.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If someone else’s negligence caused your crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Rehabilitation, therapy, and in-home care
- Lost income and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Moped and gear replacement or repair
- Funeral expenses for wrongful death cases
We calculate the full value of your claim, not just what the insurance company wants to offer.
What If the Insurance Company Blames You?
Drivers and insurers may try to shift blame, claiming:
- You were riding too slowly
- You weren’t visible
- You weren’t wearing a helmet or reflective gear
South Carolina uses a modified comparative fault rule, which allows you to recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault. We push back with:
- Police reports and traffic camera footage
- Eyewitness statements
- Crash scene evidence
- Expert accident reconstruction, when needed
