Give Us A Call »Damages Available in a Greenville, SC, Moped Accident Case
We will not know the full value of your Greenville moped accident case until we conduct a full investigation and collect evidence that includes all your medical bills, receipts, estimates, and other documentation of your expenses and losses. While we cannot give you a set amount for a moped accident, we can help you understand the types of damages you might be able to recover if we win a settlement or verdict in your case.
Some of the most common types of damages we recover for clients in this type of case include:
- Medical treatment and related expenses
- Pain management and other prescription medications
- Ongoing care costs and future care costs
- Lost wages for time you missed from work
- Diminished earning capacity if you cannot return to your previous job
- Repair or replacement of your moped
- Replacement of your helmet and/or any other damaged personal property
- Pain and suffering damages
- Mental anguish
- Other noneconomic damages
You may also be eligible for other types of damages, depending on the facts of your case. For example, a South Carolina accident lawyer can sometimes get the judge to award punitive damages in a motor vehicle accident case.
Punitive damages are unique because they do not compensate you for your losses. Instead, they go above and beyond your losses, punishing the at-fault motorist for intentional or particularly negligent behavior.

Negligence and Liability in a Greenville Moped Accident
Before we can hold a passenger car driver liable for their negligent behavior, we need to understand exactly what happened to cause your accident. We can usually use the police report and other evidence we collect to identify how the passenger car driver caused your moped accident.
In some cases, we may need to enlist the help of an accident reconstruction specialist. Some of the causes of these accidents may include:
- Careless and inattentive driving
- Texting or talking on the phone
- Other driving distractions
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Unsafe lane changes
- Failure to yield right of way
- Failure to check for oncoming bikes, motorcycles, and mopeds before opening the door
We will fully investigate your accident, getting to the bottom of what happened and how the passenger car driver caused your accident. We will identify their negligent act and show they are liable for your damages.
Our Goal Is To Get You The Most Money – FAST!
864-407-4000We Will Fight for Compensation After Your Greenville Moped Accident
In most cases, we will first attempt to recover compensation through an insurance claim. If we are successful with this claim, we can help you avoid the added cost and stress of filing a civil suit, taking your case to trial, and appearing in court. South Carolina law requires all passenger car drivers to have at least a minimum amount of auto liability insurance.
This policy makes it possible for us to attempt to get the money you need by filing a liability claim and negotiating with the insurance company before taking legal action.
To file an insurance claim based on the at-fault driver’s auto liability policy, we need to:
- Investigate your case and determine a fair settlement value based on the actual value of your damages
- Draft a demand letter to the insurance company demanding a payout
- Reject any settlement offer that does not cover your full losses
- Attempt to negotiate a fair settlement agreement with the insurer
- Reach a fair settlement agreement with the insurer, if possible
- Draft a settlement agreement and obtain a payout on your behalf, if possible
A Moped Accident Settlement
While settling a moped accident case out of court is often preferred, we will not hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent passenger car driver if their insurance company denies our claim or if we cannot negotiate a fair settlement agreement. If this is necessary in your case, we will be by your side representing you every step of the way.
We will help you understand what to expect, and ensure you feel comfortable with what will happen in court. We present the case against the at-fault motorist to the judge and jury, and ask the court for a verdict and a payout that compensates you for your damages.
Statute of Limitations
According to SC Code § 15-3-530 (2012), South Carolina has a statute of limitations on filing a personal injury claim for a moped accident. In most cases, a claim must be brought within three years of the accident. It is important to not wait too long as it is often easier to gather evidence earlier on.
