Bicycle Accident Attorney in SC

Bicyclists are some of the most vulnerable people on South Carolina roads. When careless drivers fail to yield, turn without looking, or drive distracted, the consequences can be devastating for cyclists. If you or a loved one has been hit while riding a bike, you may be facing serious injuries, costly medical bills, lost work, and a long recovery. You don’t have to face it alone.

At Jessica Corley Law, we stand up for injured cyclists and their families. We understand the dangers riders face and the importance of holding negligent drivers accountable. Our goal is to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially after a bicycle crash.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Bike accidents can happen in an instant, often due to a driver’s negligence. Common causes include:

• Drivers failing to yield to cyclists at intersections

• Right or left turns without checking for bicycles

• Opening car doors into the path of a cyclist (“dooring”)

• Distracted driving, including texting or phone use

• Speeding or aggressive driving

• Impaired driving (alcohol or drugs)

Even when cyclists follow the rules and wear safety gear, they have little protection in a crash. That’s why we fight so hard to make sure our clients get the support they need.

What to Do After a Bicycle Accident

If you’ve been in a bicycle crash, here are steps you can take to protect your health and your legal rights:

1. Call 911 and report the crash.

2. Seek medical attention—even if you think your injuries are minor.

3. If you’re able, get the driver’s information and take pictures of the scene.

4. Don’t speak to the driver’s insurance company before talking to a lawyer.

5. Contact Jessica Corley Law for a free consultation.

We will listen to your story, explain your legal options, and guide you through every step of the claims process.

You May Be Entitled to Compensation

In South Carolina, injured cyclists may be able to recover money for:

• Medical expenses (past and future)

• Lost income or reduced earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Bicycle repairs or replacement

• Punitive damages (in cases of extreme negligence)

• Wrongful death damages if a loved one was killed

Our firm will build a strong case using police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and medical records. We fight for full compensation, not quick settlements.
