Insurance Companies and Motorcycle Accidents
Insurance Companies Blame BIKERS FOR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS!
The outlaw image of motorcyclists has not done those of us who love to ride many favors. Motorcycle riders are viewed by some people as reckless riders and crazy speed demons. At Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A., we think the image of the reckless motorcyclist is unfair. Most South Carolina motorcyclists ride safely and defensively.
Insurance companies, however, routinely try to blame the accident on the motorcyclist, even when statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are the other driver's fault. Reports show that two-thirds of accidents between motorcycles and other vehicles are caused by another motorist getting in the way of the motorcycle operator. The driver of the car in a motorcycle accident often reports that he or she did not "see" the motorcycle.
There's no question that a motorcycle is less visible than a passenger car, but that's no excuse for a driver who is not paying attention and who causes a motorcycle accident.
How a Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help You Deal with the Insurance Companies
If you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle accident, don't hesitate to call an experienced lawyer. You may be entitled to money to pay for your losses. A South Carolina motorcycle accident lawyer at Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. can help you with your legal options.
At Peake & Fowler, our attorneys examine the facts and laws in a motorcycle accident. We study the police report, analyze insurance coverage, collect evidence and interview witnesses. Our investigation often includes a visit to the accident scene to determine the road condition and find out if there are any road hazards that contributed to the wreck.
Motorcycle insurance is required in South Carolina and generally is similar to the requirements for car insurance. Bodily injury protection covers the injuries or death of an individual if you are responsible for a motorcycle accident. You are required to carry minimum amounts that the insurance company will pay out. In South Carolina, you are required to carry $25,000 for bodily injury liability for one person injured in an accident; $50,000 for all injuries per accident; and $25,000 for personal property damage. (You may want to add more than the minimum to protect yourself and your family).
Because of the high risks, insurance companies may limit or exclude certain coverage, such as personal injury protection.
If the insurance company denied your claim after an accident, get in touch with an experienced attorney at Peake & Fowler. Our attorneys can make use of all possible resources to see that you get the full compensation you deserve.
