How Motorcycle Accidents Happen in West Ashley
Motorcyclists are often blamed for crashes, even when the facts tell a different story. The reality is that most motorcycle accidents in West Ashley are caused by drivers who are distracted, impatient, or unaware of how to safely navigate around motorcycles.
Common causes include:
- Cars turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles
- Drivers merging without checking mirrors or blind spots
- Tailgating or following too closely in traffic
- Speeding near intersections or stoplights
- Distracted driving from texting, GPS, or in-car distractions
- Road hazards such as uneven pavement or debris
With increasing traffic volume in West Ashley due to ongoing development and construction, riders face even greater risks—especially on roads not built with motorcycle safety in mind.
Injuries That Often Follow a Motorcycle Crash
Without seatbelts, airbags, or steel frames, motorcyclists are exposed in every collision. Even relatively low-speed accidents can cause devastating harm. At our firm, we’ve represented motorcycle accident victims with injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
- Spinal cord injuries and permanent paralysis
- Broken bones and orthopedic injuries
- Severe abrasions (road rash) requiring skin grafts
- Internal bleeding and punctured organs
- Disfigurement or facial trauma
- Amputations and long-term disabilities
These injuries don’t just change your health—they change your future. You deserve a lawyer who knows how to measure the full cost of what you’ve lost and fight for it.
What You Can Recover in a Motorcycle Injury Case
