According to statistics, fatal motorcycle accidents are on the rise. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports the number of fatal motorcycle accidents has risen 50% since the late 1990s—a far more substantial increase than the corresponding numbers for wrongful death victims in car accidents. Aside from the very real possibility of death in a motorcycle accident, these incidents are among the most common causes of traumatic brain injuries. Many motorcycle accidents and injuries are preventable and unnecessary.

Some contributing factors include:

  • Bike manufacturer defects
  • Automobile driver aggression or “road rage” against motorcyclists
  • Improperly designed helmets
  • Other motorists’ failure to yield while turning into oncoming traffic
  • Road debris
  • Motorcyclist-related factors like inexperience, alcohol, and speeding
  • Road and inclement weather conditions

When faced with such devastating circumstances, it is crucial to pursue the counsel of a proven Charleston motorcycle accident lawyer with a high degree of experience handling motorcycle accident injury claims in South Carolina.
