Can a DUI be Expunged in SC

In this episode of The Carolina Justice Report Podcast, Justin Lovely and Sarah Austin dive into the complexities of motorcycle accident cases. As active members of the Myrtle Beach biker community, they have seen firsthand how injured motorcyclists often believe they can’t pursue a claim because they think they are at fault. However, this isn’t always the case, and it’s crucial not to give up without a thorough investigation.

Justin and Sarah explain how motorcycle accidents are often wrongly assessed by police, especially when motorcyclists are too injured to provide their side of the story at the scene. They explore the concept of modified comparative negligence in South Carolina, which allows motorcyclists to recover compensation even if they are partially at fault—as long as they are not more than 50% at fault.

This episode also covers single-bike accidents, passenger claims, and the importance of a comprehensive investigation, even when you think no one else is responsible. From roadway defects to other vehicles clipping you unknowingly, Justin and Sarah emphasize why every motorcycle accident case should be thoroughly reviewed.

If you or someone you know has been involved in a motorcycle accident, this episode provides valuable insight into how to navigate the legal process and ensure your rights are protected.

Key Takeaways:

• Motorcycle accidents are often wrongly assessed, and motorcyclists should not give up if they are told they are at fault.
• South Carolina’s modified comparative negligence law allows motorcyclists to recover even if they are partially at fault (up to 50%).
• The importance of investigating single-bike accidents—roadway defects, unidentified vehicles, and other factors may still contribute to the accident.
• Passengers in motorcycle accidents nearly always have a claim, and additional coverage can be pursued through UIM policies.
• Catastrophic injuries from motorcycle accidents often lead to large medical bills, and seeking legal representation can provide crucial help in recovering compensation.
