Orangeburg Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Representing South Carolina Motorcycle Accident Victims

Due to their small size, many drivers have a difficult time seeing motorcycles or paying sufficient attention to them. Often, this inattention to motorcycles leads to an accident. Unfortunately, no motorcycle accident is a minor accident for the rider. Even the slightest impact can lead to very serious injuries.

If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, an experienced personal injury attorney can help you. At Lanier & Burroughs, we seek to hold those inattentive drivers responsible for their negligence. To speak with a personal injury attorney about your accident, please contact the South Carolina law firm of Lanier & Burroughs.

When it comes to preserving evidence following a motorcycle accident, time is of the essence. Contacting an attorney quickly after the accident can help you in several ways. We can:

  • Gather evidence at the scene of the accident including photographic evidence
  • Help preserve the evidence from the accident scene
  • Collect information about the weather and traffic on the day of your accident
  • Work with the necessary professional investigators and accident reconstructionists
  • Interview eyewitnesses about the accident

The longer you wait to hire an attorney, the more time the evidence has to disappear and witnesses’ memories to fade. With time, evidence is lost and can make a case against a negligent driver difficult.

Unfortunately, because motorcycle drivers have less protection than other drivers do on the road, accidents are often fatal. If you have lost a loved in a motorcycle accident and the other driver was negligent, you may be able to file a wrongful death suit.

Motorcyclists in South Carolina may have a difficult time obtaining the compensation they deserve when they are involved in an accident. Many laws favor drivers over motorcycle riders. You should not be without legal representation when fighting to obtain the compensation you deserve. Contact the personal injury lawyers at Lanier & Burroughs to discuss how we can defend your rights following a motorcycle accident.
