Motorcycle Accidents in South Carolina

Motorcycle accidents are among the most devastating types of roadway collisions, frequently resulting in serious or fatal injuries due to the limited protection riders have compared to vehicle occupants. Across South Carolina, thousands of motorcycle crashes occur each year, many of them on busy routes such as Hwy 501, which sees heavy traffic from residents, commuters, and tourists heading toward Myrtle Beach and surrounding communities.

According to data from the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, more than 2,000 motorcycle collisions were reported statewide last year, leading to hundreds of serious injuries and fatalities. Common causes include drivers failing to notice or yield to motorcycles, speeding, and unsafe lane changes, distracted or impaired driving, and hazardous road conditions or debris.

Victims of motorcycle accidents often face an uphill battle recovering from their injuries, managing medical expenses, and dealing with insurance claims.
