Why Motorcycle Accidents in Summerville Are So Serious
Unlike drivers in passenger vehicles, motorcycle riders have little protection. Even with a helmet and protective gear, a collision can cause catastrophic injuries. And in places like Summerville—where car drivers often fail to check blind spots or yield properly—the consequences can be devastating.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents in the Summerville area include:
- Distracted drivers failing to notice motorcycles
- Drivers making unsafe lane changes or turns
- Speeding or aggressive driving on residential roads
- Rear-end collisions at stoplights or intersections
- Failure to yield when merging or crossing traffic
- Hazardous road conditions or construction zones
Whether your crash happened on Dorchester Road, North Main Street, or near the Berlin G. Myers Parkway, you deserve an attorney who will take your case seriously from day one.
