Charleston Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Since 1994 Auger & Auger has obtained millions of dollars in compensation from drivers responsible for motorcycle crashes, and we want you to benefit from that experience. A Charleston motorcycle accident attorney is available right now to discuss the damages and injuries you have sustained, and explain your rights for pursuing a liability claim.

There are not many roadway accidents as devastating as those sustained by motorcyclists. The high speeds achieved, the gleaming metal bodywork and the joy of riding against the wind has appealed to Charleston area bikers for nearly eight decades. Unfortunately, it’s these very attributes which inherently leave out any real protection for the rider. Add to this the enhanced risks to a motorcycle compared to cars and trucks when there’s uneven pavement, cracks, potholes, and sudden objects on the road (like animals or fallen debris).

The Reality of South Carolina Motorcycle Travel

Rural roads and off-road treks generally equate to lower speed levels and more relaxed rides. And, there are race tracks for those with a penchant for high speed and competition. But highway traffic and increased speeds, as well as freight trucking congestion, are accidents waiting to happen for motorcyclists.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “you are 37 times more likely to die in a motorcycle accident than a car accident…and nine times more likely to become injured while riding a motorcycle than while driving a car. In other words, the odds are against you.

How Can a Charleston Motorcyclist Beat The Odds?

• Check your tire pressure, brakes, headlights and signals and fluid levels before starting out.
• Arms and legs should be covered by heavy denim or leather; which help to prevent you from dehydrating and “road rash” in the case of a collision.
• Footwear needs to cover your ankles, and gloves are necessary for the best grip and hand protection.
• If you’ll be on the road at night, reflective clothing or bike stickers will keep you safer.
• Obey the laws and pay extra attention to lights and signs.
• Yield to pedestrians and other vehicles at intersections when proceeding.

Remember, just like truck drivers, other drivers can’t see you if you can’t see them. Public road drivers are not looking for you, so you must look for them! Give cars and truckers the right of way because trying to always be first could land you in the middle of a grievous disaster.
