How Our Law Firm Assists Motorcycle Accident Victims in Lancaster
Many motorcycle accidents in South Carolina are caused by other motorists’ failure to see a motorcycle in traffic. Motorcycles have a narrow profile and a driver scanning an intersection may overlook a motorcyclist or misjudge its speed. An automobile driver may turn unexpectedly into the path of an oncoming motorcycle, causing the motorcyclist to hit the car and be thrown onto the pavement.
If you have been injured or your loved one has been killed in a motorcycle accident in South Carolina, you will need to show that another driver’s disregard for safety or negligent act caused your accident and injuries.

Compensation in an Lancaster Motorcycle Accident Claim
One of the first things that most injured bikers who are considering legal action ask is: How much is my motorcycle injury claim worth? It’s an understandable question, but one that is hard to answer precisely. The answer depends on a number of key factors including:
- The severity of your injuries
- The contributing factors to the accident
- The insurance policies available to provide compensation.
Our legal team at David Blackwell Law will carefully evaluate the damages you have suffered from the motorcycle wreck and how the injuries will affect your ability to work and your quality of life in the years ahead. Based on the specifics of your injury, you may seek compensation for:
- Past and future medical costs, including emergency treatment, hospitalization, rehabilitation, follow-up doctor appointments, medications, and wheelchairs, walkers, or other assistive mobility devices.
- Lost wages for the period of time you were out of work because of your injuries.
- Reduction in earning capacity if your injuries mean that you will be limited in the kind of work you can do in the future.
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering.
- Repair or replacement of your damaged motorcycle.
Anyone who tells you that your case is worth a certain amount is making a rough estimate at best. It is not possible to predict immediately after a serious motorcycle accident how your injuries will affect you in the future and what your ongoing medical needs will be. That is why is important not to accept a quick insurance settlement before you know the extent of your medical expenses. It is important that you focus initially on receiving all the medical care that you need and following the doctor’s directives.
