Motorcycle Accidents claims in Greenville

Laurens Road, Wade Hampton, Pleasantburg: Greenville's old highways became commercial strips with a continuous center turn lane down the middle. Riders know that lane. Cars sit in it waiting to cross two directions of traffic, and the driver is hunting for a car-sized gap, so a motorcycle closing at the same speed reads as farther off than it is and the left turn happens anyway. That is the classic motorcycle wreck in every state. Under the 51% bar the insurer's counter is predictable enough to write in advance. You were fast, you were splitting lanes, you were impossible to see. Answering that takes a reconstruction, not a phone call.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Greenville?

Greenville Police handle wrecks on city streets, including Main Street, Augusta Road, and Laurens Road inside the city, while the Greenville County Sheriff's Office covers the unincorporated county and the South Carolina Highway Patrol generally works I-85 and I-385. Pull the report from the agency whose officer wrote it, and bring the case number from the scene. Without it, expect a longer wait.

Which court would hear my Greenville injury case?

Greenville County Court of Common Pleas. That's the civil trial court for Greenville County, and a South Carolina injury suit generally starts there, though filing is the exception, since most claims get resolved with an insurer without a suit ever being drafted. The three-year deadline governs either way, and it runs from the date of the crash. If you already have a lawyer, you don't need us.

I was hit on a bike near the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Is that handled like a car crash?

Generally yes, when a motor vehicle is involved. The trail crosses streets at grade in several places, and a driver turning across one of those crossings raises the same fault question as any other collision, so expect the insurer to ask what you were wearing and whether you had a light. Under the 51% bar, your share of the blame comes off what you can recover. The question isn't idle.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in South Carolina?

In South Carolina, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury; wrongful death 3 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
