If you ride a motorcycle, you know there is nothing more freeing than the sensation of two wheels on the open road. Unfortunately, for motorcyclists in Myrtle Beach, the “Grand Strand”, the roads are filled with distracted drivers. The most common example of distracted driving is texting and driving. Distracted drivers are only one cause of the many motorcycle accidents that result in serious injuries in South Carolina.
According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists were about 29 times more likely to die in an accident and 4 times more likely to be injured than occupants of a passenger vehicle. These rates are often even higher among younger, less experienced riders.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident caused by the negligence of another, the attorneys at Beach Injury Lawyers are here to help.

In the path of an approaching motorcycle, a vehicle does a left turn. Motorcyclists must be seen by drivers at all times. Respecting the roadway is crucial to preventing and minimizing the risks of accidents. Sadly, reckless drivers occasionally turn left in front of motorcycles, either because they weren’t attentive enough to see and acknowledge them, perhaps they miscalculated the speed or for another other reason. A tragic collision is likely to result as the turning car hits the approaching motorcycle. Motorists must remain vigilant for motorcycles. Sharing the road is an important part of preventing accidents.
A driver doesn’t give a motorcyclist complete access to a lane. The same laws that apply to other drivers also apply to motorbike riders. Occasionally, drivers impede motorbikes’ usage of the entire lane, either out of arrogance or carelessness. As a result, there is a risk that the motorcyclist will become uncontrollable.
A motorcycle and a car crash head-on. People find it easier to overlook motorcycles. If a driver uses the opportunity to glance down at their smartphone or remove their attention from the road because they believe the opposing lane of traffic is clear of all other vehicles, they risk colliding with an approaching motorcycle rider. This is but one scenario of how a head on accident might take place.
These are only a handful of the frequent motorcycle incident categories. They are numerous. Though we are interested in learning more regarding the tragedy’s specifics, negligence and recklessness are the real causes of most accident instances. That means you most likely have a case if somebody else’s negligence led to the collision that damaged you.
Even if you don’t collide with another car, an accident might still occur despite your best efforts. Such collisions, also referred to as “no-contact accidents,” take place whenever a motorist applies the brakes or puts their motorcycle down to escape a collision.
The other motorist may still be held accountable for their carelessness even if there is no contact between you and your motorcycle. Careless, combative, and irresponsible conduct are examples of negligence. Examples include:
It might be challenging to hold a careless motorist accountable in a no-contact accident. The motorist will probably flee the situation if they are unaware that they injured you. Our lawyers can assist you in demonstrating that another motorist’s carelessness prompted you to swerve, lose control of your bike, or lay it down, resulting in your injuries. To find and bring the at-fault motorist to justice, our lawyers would cooperate with you, potential witnesses, and authorities or law enforcement authorities.
