Investigating Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident Cases
Every year, thousands of people suffer serious bicycle injuries. Most of those are injuries to children. South Carolina's roads are very unfriendly to bikes. Bike paths are rare, if they exist at all. Many drivers do not understand that a bike has as much right to the road as a car. From the moment you hire us, we begin a thorough investigation. We seek to determine whether the driver infringed upon the cyclist's right of way. We also determine the motorist's duty of care--a driver on a busy street has more reason to be cautious than one on a lonely rural road. Sometimes, at first blush, it looks as if the cyclist is at fault. Further investigation is absolutely essential because it can reveal facts that tell a very different story.
