Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Severe
Motorcycle accidents are far more likely to result in catastrophic injuries than car crashes. Without airbags, seatbelts, or structural protection, riders are vulnerable to direct impacts, skids, and being thrown from the bike. Even minor collisions can have lifelong consequences.
In Mount Pleasant, motorcycle accidents often happen because of:
- Drivers failing to yield during left turns
- Motorists changing lanes without seeing a motorcycle
- Distracted driving from cell phones or in-vehicle tech
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Speeding through congested intersections
- Poor road maintenance or debris on shoulder lanes
We investigate all angles of your crash to prove what really happened—and to make sure the responsible party is held accountable.
