How I Can Help

At Joseph Kaiser Attorney at Law, LLC, we focus on helping victims of motorcycle accidents rebuild their lives. Motorcycles offer freedom, but they also leave riders far more vulnerable on the road. When drivers fail to share the road responsibly, motorcyclists often pay the price with serious injuries, lost wages, and long-term hardship.

My firm provides personalized service and straightforward communication, guiding clients through every step of their case. From Charleston to every corner of South Carolina, our firm stands ready to fight for motorcyclists and their families.

How Motorcycle Accidents Impact Victims

Unlike car occupants, motorcyclists have little protection in a crash. Even a minor collision can result in severe injuries, including:

  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Road rash and scarring
  • Emotional trauma
  • Soft tissue injuries

These injuries often require extensive medical care, time away from work, and lifestyle changes. Our firm works to secure the compensation you need to cover both immediate and long-term challenges.

Types of Damages You May Recover

In a motorcycle accident case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage (motorcycle repair or replacement)
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

Statute of Limitations in South Carolina

South Carolina law gives you three years from the date of a motorcycle accident to file a personal injury claim. Waiting too long can mean losing your right to recover damages. Contacting an attorney early helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.

Every Case is Unique

No two motorcycle accident cases are the same. Factors like the severity of injuries, the number of parties involved, and how insurance companies respond all affect how long it takes to resolve a case. Some cases may settle quickly, while others require months—or even years—of negotiation or litigation. At Joseph Kaiser Attorney at Law, LLC, we set realistic expectations and keep you updated every step of the way.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, taking the right steps can protect both your health and your legal rights:

  1. Call 911 immediately.
  2. Collect contact and insurance information from all parties involved.
  3. Get names and numbers of any witnesses.
  4. Take photos of the accident scene, vehicles, and your injuries (if possible).
  5. Seek medical attention—even if injuries feel minor at the time.
  6. Do not give a statement to the other party’s insurance company before speaking to an attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a claim?
You generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in South Carolina.

Do I have to go to court?
Not always. Many motorcycle accident claims settle outside of court. However, my firm prepares every case as if it will go to trial to ensure the strongest possible position.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still recover damages as long as you were less than 51% at fault, though your compensation may be reduced.

How much does it cost to hire you?
We handle motorcycle accident cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

How long will my case take?
It depends. Each motorcycle accident case is unique, and the timeline can vary widely. Some cases may settle within a few months, while others take longer if litigation is necessary. My firm provides honest guidance about what to expect in your specific situation.

Can you represent me if I don’t live in Charleston?
Yes. My firm represents motorcycle accident victims across the entire state of South Carolina.
