These injuries often require emergency care, extended hospitalization, physical therapy, and long-term recovery. Some victims are never able to return to work or enjoy the activities they once loved.
If a negligent driver caused your injuries, you deserve full and fair compensation. Murdaugh Law Group will fight to make sure you receive it.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Many bicycle accidents are preventable. In most cases, they occur because a driver failed to exercise reasonable caution or violated traffic laws. Our firm handles cases involving:
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, etc.)
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Failure to yield to cyclists
- Unsafe lane changes or passing
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Opening car doors into bike lanes (“dooring”)
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Even when the cyclist follows all laws and safety guidelines, one careless driver decision can change everything. We thoroughly investigate the accident, gather evidence, and pursue all available claims to hold the at-fault party accountable.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
A successful bicycle accident claim can help cover the full scope of your physical, emotional, and financial losses. Damages may include:
- Emergency and ongoing medical treatment
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Lost wages and loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional distress
- Property damage (bike replacement/repair)
- Long-term disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was killed)
Every case is different. At Murdaugh Law Group, we take the time to understand your specific situation and fight for the full compensation you deserve under South Carolina law.

- Your legal rights are protected
- The evidence is preserved and analyzed correctly
- All liable parties are identified
- You’re not pressured into accepting an unfair settlement
- You receive guidance throughout the legal process
