Proving Liability for Your Injuries in a Motorcycle Accident

Our attorneys will go to the accident scene, talk to witnesses, and gather evidence to establish what caused your motorcycle accident and who was responsible.

The Driver of a Vehicle

Our attorneys will look for signs that the driver of the vehicle who struck your motorcycle was at fault. This means our attorneys will:

• Examine skid marks to see how soon the vehicle braked before the accident.
• Examine the damage to the other vehicle to determine what part of the vehicle struck your motorcycle.
• Determine if a traffic camera or nearby surveillance camera caught the accident.
• Get cell phone records (if necessary) to see if the driver was on the phone or texting at the time of the accident.
• Read the accident report.
• Get the results of any breath or blood alcohol tests performed on the driver after the accident.

The Driver’s Employer

If the driver of the vehicle that struck your motorcycle was an employee acting within the scope of his or her employment, the driver’s employer can potentially be held liable for your injuries. Our attorneys will investigate these companies and prove their relationship to your collision.

The Owner of the Vehicle

The owner of the vehicle can be held liable if he knew of a mechanical problem with the vehicle and permitted the driver to operate the vehicle. The owner can also potentially be held liable for knowingly allowing an incompetent, unsafe, or unlicensed driver to operate their vehicle.

The Government

If a South Carolina state or city knew of a defect in the road surface – such as a large pothole – and did not repair it after receiving notice of the defect, it may be possible to seek compensation from the government. South Carolina Torts Claims Act applies to claims against the government, however, that limit the amount that you may recover from the government and the timeline by which you are able to do so. Our attorneys can walk you through the process of filing a claim against the government and assist you with getting the money that you deserve for your injuries.

• Medical Expenses: You get your doctor and hospital bills paid, including ambulance or airlift
• Rehabilitative Costs: You may be entitled to the cost of physical therapy and rehabilitation necessary for your recovery.
