Hurt in a Bicycle Accident? We Help You Get Back on Track.
Cycling is more than just a mode of transportation for many South Carolinians — it’s a way of life. Whether you’re biking for fitness, commuting, or simply enjoying the outdoors, our state’s beautiful weather and scenic roads make it easy to love life on two wheels.
But sharing the road with cars, trucks, and distracted drivers can turn a peaceful ride into a life-changing event.
At Palmetto State Injury Lawyers, we represent cyclists injured by negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, and careless property owners. If you’ve been hurt in a bicycle accident, we’re here to help you regain control, protect your rights, and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Many bicycle accidents happen because drivers fail to share the road responsibly. Common causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Unsafe passing or failure to leave adequate space
- Failing to yield at intersections or crosswalks
- Speeding or reckless driving near cyclists
- Opening car doors into bike lanes
- Failure to obey traffic laws and bike lane markings
- Poor road maintenance or hazardous conditions
Every case is unique, which is why we conduct a thorough investigation to determine exactly how your accident happened and who is responsible.
The Serious Impact of a Bicycle Accident
When a cyclist is hit by a vehicle, there’s little to protect them from the impact. Bicycle accidents often result in:
- Fractures and broken bones
- Road rash and severe skin injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement
- Emotional trauma, including PTSD and anxiety
- Loss of mobility and long-term disabilities
At Palmetto State Injury Lawyers, we understand that these injuries affect not only your physical health but your entire life—your work, your finances, your family, and your emotional well-being.
Comparative Fault in South Carolina Bicycle Cases
Even if you think you may have been partially at fault, you could still be entitled to compensation.
Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto cyclists to minimize their payout. We don’t let them. We’ll fight to ensure the facts are clear, your side is heard, and your recovery is protected.

We look at more than just your medical bills. We build a case that reflects the full scope of your losses, including:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Emotional distress
Our goal is simple: to help you get back on track—physically, financially, and emotionally.
