Motorcycle Accidents claims in Myrtle Beach

Rally weeks fill Kings Highway with riders from everywhere. The harder riding here is ordinary, though, because sand blows across the beach-access roads and settles in the corners. Motel and restaurant lots empty straight onto US-17 Business. A driver searching for an address is not searching for a motorcycle, so the pull-out and left-turn crashes that hurt riders everywhere happen here with one extra ingredient: the driver may be most of the way home before you are out of the hospital. Get the plate and the policy at the scene. The 51% bar still applies. And the three-year clock started the day it happened.

Frequently asked questions

Who took the report if I was hurt on Ocean Boulevard?

The Myrtle Beach Police Department works crashes inside the city, including Ocean Boulevard and Kings Highway, while Horry County Police generally respond outside the city limits and the South Carolina Highway Patrol takes much of US-501 and SC-31. Request the report from that agency. An involved party can generally get a copy, including a passenger or someone who was on foot.

Where would a Myrtle Beach injury suit be filed?

Horry County Court of Common Pleas, which sits in Conway rather than at the beach, because Conway is the county seat and the civil trial court for the county sits there, inland from the Grand Strand. Most claims settle long before anyone drives out there. The three-year filing deadline applies whether or not a suit is ever filed. It isn't optional.

The other driver was a tourist who has already gone home. What now?

Their insurance is generally what pays, and an out-of-state policy still covers a crash that happened here, so what you need from the scene is identification: plate, license, insurance card, and the case number from the report. Three years is the window. Tracking a visiting driver generally gets harder the longer it sits.

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.
