Dangers Facing Motorcyclists in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach is a beautiful place to ride, but its roads can be dangerous due to congested traffic, distracted tourists, and fast-paced highways. Motorcyclists are at a significantly higher risk of serious injury or death when involved in a crash.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Myrtle Beach include:

  • Drivers failing to check blind spots
  • Sudden lane changes or merges
  • Distracted driving, including cellphone use
  • Drunk or impaired drivers
  • Drivers failing to yield at intersections
  • Road hazards like potholes or sand

While helmets and protective gear are essential, they can only do so much in a high-speed crash. Even cautious riders are vulnerable to reckless or negligent motorists.

The Devastating Consequences of Motorcycle Accidents

Unlike those in passenger vehicles, motorcyclists lack the protection of steel frames, airbags, and seatbelts. As a result, they often suffer catastrophic injuries that can lead to permanent disability or death. Common injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and orthopedic trauma
  • Internal bleeding or organ damage
  • Road rash requiring skin grafts
  • Amputations and disfigurement

These injuries often lead to lengthy hospital stays, extensive rehabilitation, lost income, and significant emotional trauma.

How Much Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims of motorcycle accidents often face a long and expensive recovery. If another party’s negligence caused your crash, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. This may include:

  • Medical expenses (past, current, and future)
  • Lost income and reduced future earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Motorcycle repair or replacement

In rare cases involving extreme recklessness—such as a drunk driver causing your accident—you may also be entitled to punitive damages, which serve to punish the wrongdoer and prevent future harm.

How a Myrtle Beach Motorcycle Injury Lawyer Helps

Pursuing a motorcycle injury claim in South Carolina isn’t always easy—especially when you’re up against powerful insurance companies. These companies often attempt to downplay injuries or shift the blame to the rider.

That’s where our legal team comes in. At The Solomon Law Group, LLC, we work hard to build strong cases for our clients by:

  • Investigating the cause of the crash
  • Gathering medical records, accident reports, and witness statements
  • Consulting with accident reconstruction and medical experts
  • Negotiating with insurance companies for fair settlements
  • Taking the case to trial if needed

We know the strategies insurers use to undervalue claims, and we know how to counter them with clear, compelling evidence.

South Carolina’s Comparative Negligence Law

South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you’re partially at fault—as long as you are less than 51% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.

For example, if your damages total $100,000 and you're found to be 20% at fault, you would receive $80,000. If you're more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovering any compensation.

This rule makes it especially important to have an experienced motorcycle injury attorney on your side to defend you from unfair blame.

Don’t Wait to Take Action

Motorcycle injury claims are subject to South Carolina’s statute of limitations. You generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long could cost you the right to recover compensation, so it’s important to act quickly.

The sooner you reach out to our firm, the sooner we can begin gathering evidence and protecting your rights.
