There are numerous laws pertaining to bicyclists, as well as efforts to build and maintain bicycle lanes. Despite these laws, the number of bicycle accidents throughout South Carolina are on the rise. Accidents with bicycles occur for many reasons and there are often several factors in each particular accident that need to be investigated. Drivers of vehicles often do not look for bicyclists. This happens in particular when there is no bike lane or any other obvious sign of a cyclist. Drivers of cars, buses, and even motorcyclists have been involved in serious accidents with bike riders. Bicycle accidents involving children can be especially traumatic and injurious. Child bike laws in South Carolina are specialized. Each case involving a bicycle accident and a child needs to be fully investigated by police, insurance companies and if possible an independent agent. The seriousness of these bike accidents are compounded by the fact that many times the driver leaves the scene of the accident without stopping to see if everyone is alright. Because bicyclists themselves are sometimes partially to blame in accidents, each South Carolina bike accident must be approached carefully. Legally the amount of blame may vary in each case. Negligence is usually a common reason for bicycle accidents in South Carolina but alcohol and drugs, faulty products, unlicensed or uninsured drivers and many other reasons also often play a role in these accidents. If you are ever involved in a bike accident you should get as much information as you can. You should ask people who could be witnesses for their contact information. If you are involved in a biking accident in South Carolina, also get any other drivers' information including license plate numbers, car types, driving license numbers and insurance information. You should never admit guilt in the event of a bicycle accident. Always seek medical attention if you suffered injuries and ask for a police report to be written.
