South Carolina & North Carolina Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, there are 148,851 registered motorcycles in South Carolina. Riding a motorcycle offers a unique thrill and freedom for riders. While motorcycle riders enjoy our year round mild temperatures and scenic Carolina views, many riders also recognize that they must drive defensively and pay close attention to other vehicles on the roadway.
Motorcycle riders are far too often the victims of serious injuries or even death resulting from the actions of negligent drivers who either lack concern, are distracted, or who fail to follow traffic rules. Common injuries sustained by motorcyclists are: head injuries, neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken ribs, loss of limb, knee injuries and road rash. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, helmets reduce the risk of death by 37% and reduce the risk of head injuries by 69%. South Carolina law only requires that drivers under the age of 21 wear helmets.
The South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) first started collecting data on motorcycle accidents in 1980. In 2021, 154 motorcyclists died on SC roadways – making this the deadliest year for riders since SCDPS started collecting data 40 years ago. In 2016 there were 139 motorcyclist deaths, in 2019 there were 118 motorcyclist deaths, and in 2020 there were 116 motorcyclist deaths across South Carolina.
