Motorcycle Accident Attorney - Charleston, South Carolina

The Bostic Law Firm understands motorcyclists. Attorney Curtis Bostic has been an avid motorcycle rider for over 30 years. All five of his children ride, most of them learning with training wheels before they could ride a bicycle!

This love of motorcycles and appreciation for those who ride them has led to a genuine interest on the part of the Bostic Law Firm in protecting people who ride from being abused by insurance companies and automobile operators who ignore the bikers around them.

While the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) 2007 report recorded the fewest number of traffic fatalities since 1994, it indicated that motorcycle accidents are on the rise (6.6% increase over 2006), accounting for 13 percent of all fatalities.

Helmets have been shown to reduce motorcycle crash fatalities by 37%., but some motorcyclist in South Carolina have chosen to exercise their right not to wear a helmet. In the U.S. helmet use has dropped from 70% in 2000 to 58% in 2002. Contrary to some “legal myths”, choosing not to wear a helmet does NOT result in your being ineligible to recover for injuries you incur in a motorcycle accident. We have successfully obtained large recoveries for riders who chose to exercise their right not to wear a helmet.

Also, while the number of fatalities involving drunk drivers in 2007 dropped 3.7% from the previous year, drunk drivers are still a serious threat to motorcyclist. An August 2008 report by NHTSA shows that 37% of all fatal crashes involving blood alcohol levels above .08 occurred between 6pm and midnight, and another 28% between midnight and 3 a.m.

In the light of these statistics, riders and drivers need to be especially aware of the dangers compounded by poorer visibility and greater likelihood of intoxicated drivers on the road during the evening and night hours.

Motorcycle accident cases differ from car accident cases, so it is important to hire a lawyer who understands the particular needs of motorcyclists and the nuances involved in bringing such a case. 

The  Bostic Law Firm team has a thorough knowledge of motorcycle riding and extensive expertise in these types of accident cases and understand and respect motorcyclists and their needs. We have made large recoveries for victims injured on a motorcycle due to the negligence of another driver. If you are injured, you need a law firm working for you that respects the rights of motorcyclists and understands motorcycle law.
