Mopeds are a popular and affordable way to get around Summerville, but they offer very little protection in a crash. If you were struck by a car while riding on Main Street, Bacons Bridge Road, or near I-26, the injuries can be serious, and the insurance process can be frustrating.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured moped riders across Summerville, Ladson, Goose Creek, and Dorchester County recover full and fair compensation. We handle the legal work so you can focus on your health and recovery.
What Causes Moped Accidents?
Drivers often fail to treat mopeds with the caution and respect they deserve. Many crashes occur because other drivers simply don’t see—or don’t look for—moped riders.
Common causes include:
- Cars turning in front of mopeds
- Unsafe lane changes
- Distracted or drunk driving
- Rear-end collisions at stoplights
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Poor road design or surface hazards
We investigate the crash, determine who was at fault, and fight for accountability and compensation.
Common Moped Accident Injuries
Because mopeds offer almost no protection, riders often suffer serious injuries in even minor collisions.
We represent clients with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Road rash and facial injuries
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Permanent disability or scarring
- Wrongful death (in fatal accidents)
We work with your medical providers to fully document your injuries and future care needs.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If someone else caused your moped crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Surgeries, rehab, and long-term therapy
- Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Moped repair or replacement
- Funeral expenses (in fatal cases)
We fight for the full value of your claim, not just the first offer from the insurance company.
What If They Try to Blame You?
Moped riders are often unfairly blamed for crashes. But under South Carolina’s modified comparative fault rule, you can still recover compensation if you’re less than 51% at fault.
We push back against blame-shifting by using:
- Police reports
- Crash scene photos
- Witness statements
- Expert reconstruction if needed
