How fault works

Modified comparative negligence, 51% bar

Riders enjoy year-round conditions across South Carolina's coast, but crashes frequently lead to serious injuries and to assumptions that the motorcyclist was to blame. This matters because South Carolina follows modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar: you can recover only if you were not more than 50% at fault, and your award is reduced by your assigned share, so how fault is divided is critical for riders. As an at-fault state, South Carolina looks to the party who caused the crash to cover the harm. You generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed South Carolina attorney who understands the bias riders face.

Frequently asked questions

Does South Carolina's fault rule hurt motorcycle riders?

It can, because riders are sometimes unfairly assigned a larger share of fault. Under the 51% bar you are barred only if you are more than 50% responsible, so pushing back on an inflated fault percentage matters, and an independent attorney we match you with can help.

How long do I have to file after a motorcycle accident in South Carolina?

Generally three years from the date of the crash for a personal injury claim. Speaking with an independent South Carolina attorney early helps protect evidence, and we can connect you with one.
