South Carolina is a great place for cycling enthusiasts. In fact, some of the best bicycling trails in the state run through Aiken. Unfortunately, while the number of bikes on the road continues to rise each year, so does the number of South Carolina bicycle accidents.
The South Carolina Department of Public Safety publishes data on motor vehicle accidents each year. In 2019, 442 bicycle accidents caused injuries in the state of South Carolina. That’s up from only 416 injury accidents in 2019.
Twenty seven bicyclists lost their lives in fatal motor vehicle accidents in 2019. In other words, during 2019, one bicyclist was killed every 13.5 days in the state of South Carolina.
The insurance company probably won’t hand you a check for the compensation you deserve. You’ll have to offer evidence and demand the money you need. So, you’ll need to know how much your personal injury case is worth before sitting down at the negotiating table.
Our lawyers will evaluate some of the following factors to determine the value of your claim:
Predicting future expenses is always challenging. Calculating the value of pain and suffering can also be difficult. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. We’ve handled countless cases like yours over the years and would be happy to put our experience to work for your family.
It’s important to recover the full amount you’re entitled to receive if you were seriously hurt. Often, your expenses can go beyond just medical bills and lost wages. Fortunately, South Carolina personal injury laws give victims the right to recover compensation for all of their losses--both economic and non-economic.
Examples of the types of damages that may be available include:
It can be difficult to translate these losses into dollars and cents. Your Aiken bike accident lawyer will work with experts who can help with the valuation process. That way, we’ll have all the information we need to fight for fair compensation.
In South Carolina, bicyclists were blamed for contributing to an accident in more than 50% of the bike accidents in 2019. If the insurance company is trying to blame you for causing the bike accident, don’t panic.
Accident victims in South Carolina don’t automatically lose their right to compensation if they’re partly responsible for an accident. The state follows modified comparative negligence laws. Accident victims can recover compensation as long as they’re less than 50% responsible.
If a jury or insurance company allocates 51% or more of the blame to you, you lose your right to seek compensation. If you’re less than 51% liable, your compensation will be reduced to account for your percentage of fault.
Insurance companies often try to use these shared fault rules to scare victims into backing down or accepting a lowball settlement. You don’t have to let them get away with it. Call Hawk Law Group to create an attorney client relationship with an Aiken bicycle accident attorney who can help you fight back.
At Hawk Law Group, we understand that your bike accident injuries may have changed your life dramatically. We want to help you get the fair compensation you deserve.
Our lawyers in Aiken often represent bicycle accident victims who have sustained all types of injuries in South Carolina, including:
