Legal Representation for Motorcycle Accident Victims

If you’re a motorcycle accident victim, you should know:

Motorcycle accident victims have the right to claim financial compensation in South Carolina.
Your rights are the same as those of other accident victims. If you’re hurt by someone else’s negligence, they may be legally liable to pay compensation.
Negligence can be as simple as a traffic violation. For example, changing lanes without looking or entering an intersection without the right of way can make a driver responsible for a motorcycle accident.
Injuries can be serious. You deserve fair compensation for whatever injuries you have.
Economic and non-economic damages are payable based on your actual injuries and suffering.
The insurance company wants you to settle for as little as possible. They’re not going to offer information on what your claim is worth. You must prove your case.
Sometimes, you must fight the insurance company in court or through strategic negotiations.
At Schiller & Hamilton, we represent people like you. We’re committed to representing injured victims and families.

Getting fair compensation as a motorcycle accident victim isn’t easy. While you’re suffering from serious injuries, you must build your case, value damages, and take legal action. At Schiller & Hamilton, we undertake these important tasks for you.

The City of Beaufort sits on Port Royal Island in Beaufort County, SC. The Beaufort area is a tourist destination, attracting motorcyclists and other visitors. There are several major thoroughfares in the region, including US-21, US-21 Bus, US-17 and several South Carolina state highways. I-95 is the closest interstate highway.

Whether a collision occurs on an interstate, highway, or local road, any motorcycle accident can be serious, even deadly. Even a crash occurring at a low speed can be devastating for a motorcyclist. A victim who is injured by the actions of others deserves fair compensation.

Understanding Fatal Motorbike Collisions

In a wrongful death case due to a motorcycle accident, the plaintiff is usually the estate of the person who was killed in the motorcycle wreck. A fatal motorcycle accident case is similar to two-party car accident cases. It is usually another vehicle causing the accident. The other vehicle is negligent, not obeying the traffic rules, and making either a left turn or pulling out in front of a motorcycle.

The difficulty for most drivers in automobiles is that it is hard for them to judge both the speed and the distance of a person on a motorcycle. Often, when the driver first sees the motorcycle, they are not able to judge the speed or the distance of the motorcycle because they are so used to seeing two headlights or a larger vehicle coming in their direction. They could judge that a little better because they are used to it. With a motorcycle pulling out in front, the driver is not used to seeing a motorcycle, so it is hard for them to judge the distance. That is typically what happens in motorcycle wrecks.
