Why Hire a South Carolina Motorcycle Accident Injury Attorney?
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you have a lot on your plate. Dealing with your injuries and focusing on healing should be your number one priority. But more than likely, you are worried and wondering if you will be able to recover compensation for the harm you suffered due to a car driver’s negligence.
Some insurance companies may try to take advantage of you during this vulnerable time, but an attorney on your side puts your interests first and levels the playing field for you. Motorcyclists are often seriously injured in a crash and must pursue maximum compensation to help with needed expenses. Unfortunately, this makes a fight with the at-fault driver’s insurance company more likely as well.

Mistakes and Traps to Avoid After You Are Injured by Another
Since the at-fault driver’s insurance is not on your side, it’s easy to accidentally damage your case when talking with their adjuster (no matter how friendly they may seem). If the other driver’s insurance company contacts you, you should not:
- Speak to them without your attorney present
- Agree to a recorded statement
- Negotiate with them before your injuries have fully healed
Beware of quick settlement offers from the insurance company! In our experience, they are almost always too low and may not cover all the expenses related to your injuries moving forward.
