Union, SC (September 16, 2026) – On Tuesday, September 16, a bicyclist was injured after being sideswiped by a vehicle in a hit-and-run on Sardis Road in Union.
Emergency medical crews were dispatched to the location after the male bicyclist reportedly complained of wrist pain.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the collision.
We hope the injured bicyclist receives the medical attention needed and makes a full recovery.
A bicycle hit-and-run in Union, SC, may leave an injured cyclist with medical expenses, lost income, and other losses.
Depending on the circumstances and available insurance coverage, some of these losses may potentially be addressed through an injury claim.
Medical expenses can include emergency evaluation, diagnostic testing, medications, follow-up appointments, and rehabilitation. Keeping medical records and bills organized can document the treatment received and the costs associated with the injuries.
If an injury affects someone's ability to work, lost income may become another consideration. Pay stubs, employer statements, work schedules, and records of missed hours can provide information about earnings affected during recovery.
Damage to the bicycle can create additional financial losses. Photographs, repair estimates, replacement costs, and receipts may document property damage resulting from the crash. Other out-of-pocket expenses connected to treatment or recovery should likewise be retained.
A hit-and-run can also create questions about available insurance coverage. Depending on the circumstances, an injured cyclist's own insurance policy or other applicable coverage may potentially provide an avenue for compensation. The terms of the relevant policies would determine what coverage is available.
Evidence from the crash can become especially relevant when the driver has left the location. Photographs, witness information, available video, medical records, and any identifying information about the vehicle may help preserve details that could otherwise be difficult to establish.
With the available records gathered, a South Carolina bicycle accident lawyer can review the circumstances and explain what legal and insurance options may potentially apply. An attorney may also identify additional documentation that could be relevant to a potential claim.
