Motorcycle Accidents
North Charleston Motorcycle Accidents Lawyer
You shouldn't go through this life-changing event yourself if you or a loved one were injured in a motorbike accident. Lane splitting is permitted in North Charleston so motorcycles can pass other cars in the same lane or between two roads. However, doing so raises the risk of an accident since other drivers might not even anticipate or check for motorcycles passing them within the same lane as them or somewhere between their routes.
Tragically, motorcycle accidents usually cause the biker to sustain more significant damage than the other party. As a result of crashes, motorcycle riders are very susceptible and frequently suffer death or catastrophic injuries. The physical effects of a motorcycle accident might range from head and brain damage to road rash and traumatic tattooing.
Additionally, motorcycle riders may suffer from costly property damage and mental suffering. The harm caused by a motorbike cannot be undone, but the civil courts provide affected parties with a financial remedy. Speak with a knowledgeable injury lawyer immediately after a motorbike accident.

Common Injuries Resulting from an Accident
Unfortunately, it happens frequently for riders to suffer severe injuries in collisions. As reported by U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycles have a 16 times greater risk of injury and 35 % greater chance of a fatal crash than passenger cars. Younger, less seasoned motorcyclists frequently face even more incredible rates. A motorbike accident results in hundreds of fatalities and countless other injuries yearly.
The legs and feet are the parts of the body that are most hurt. The arms come next, followed by the head and neck, which account for 16.8% of all injuries. Broken bones and fractures are the most frequent injuries among them. Less severe injuries, including sprains, lacerations, and contusions, are next in severity. Fatalities and paralysis are both probable outcomes of catastrophic injuries.
Safety equipment appropriately used can frequently lessen the severity of injuries. Even in places where doing so is not mandated by law, riders should always dress correctly and wear helmets. Helmets are beneficial, with a 37% success rate in averting motorcycle fatalities.
