BEAUFORT SC MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS

BEAUFORT SC MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Whether you ride a motorcycle just for fun or is your primary means of transportation, we know how dangerous riding your bike can be. Catastrophic, life changing injury can happen in an instant when an inattentive driver pulls out in front of a motorcycle rider or changes lanes abruptly without looking. Despite everything you do to be safe, it just takes a moment to turn your life upside down forever.  It is simple physics really. A car or truck colliding with a motorcycle will almost always cause serious injury or death. The weight calculations are against you every time. And, despite all of the safety changes designed into cars, there have been no real advancements for motorcycles. Helmets have improved and gotten lighter. But in the end, there is nothing between you, another vehicle, and the road. And even though motorcycles burn their lights continuously, vehicle drivers always claim they “never saw” the injured motorcycle rider before causing an accident. You have to be on constant defense and have a “plan B” to escape danger when the unexpected happens. Sadly, the unexpected happens virtually anytime you are out there riding. Be vigilant. Get home.

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, in the Beaufort area, you’re going to need professional representation by a serious personal injury firm.  Insurance companies know that motorcycle accidents almost always represent considerable financial exposure, and thus, will fully employ their considerable resources to minimize or, if possible, exclude coverage and benefits. Our job is to “balance the field” and secure the most coverage available. You and your family are going to need it.

Coastal towns, like the Beaufort area and Hilton Head, are notorious for bad driving and accidents. Visiting tourists are unfamiliar with the area and can easily become distracted with our great water views.  There is also more associated drinking and then driving while on vacation. People just tend to “let loose” while away. Motorcyclists must be vigilant wherever they ride, but perhaps even more so near the beach. Besides distracted drivers, riders must also be alert for sand and other road debris that can unexpectedly cause loss of control in an instant. At speed, a loose patch of sand or gravel can easily cause you to lose control and result in tragedy. Also, there are pedestrians that can venture into the roadway while not paying attention. There are so many different ways to get injured on a motorcycle. All serious motorcycle riders know this fact. Nevertheless, they take the risk to enjoy the ride. Your friends at Robert J. Reeves P.C. understand and appreciate the risks you face every time you are out there.
