Mopeds are a convenient way to get around Anderson, but they offer little protection in a crash. When a driver doesn’t see you or respect your space on the road, the results can be serious. If you’ve been hit while riding a moped, you may be dealing with medical bills, lost income, and lasting injuries.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured moped riders recover compensation after accidents caused by careless drivers. Whether your crash happened on Clemson Boulevard, near Main Street, or on a neighborhood road, we’re here to help you hold the at-fault driver accountable.
Common Causes of Moped Accidents
Moped riders have the same rights as other drivers, but many crashes happen when others fail to share the road responsibly.
We handle cases involving:
- Drivers turning left in front of mopeds
- Unsafe lane changes or failure to yield
- Distracted or texting drivers
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Drivers claiming they “didn’t see” the moped
Most of our clients are injured because another driver wasn’t paying attention or didn’t give them enough space. We investigate what really happened and fight to prove fault.
Injuries We See in Moped Accidents
Mopeds offer no protection in a crash. Riders often suffer serious injuries, even at low speeds.
Common injuries include:
- Head injuries or traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Back, neck, or spinal cord injuries
- Road rash and skin damage
- Shoulder and knee injuries from impact
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death claims)
We work with your doctors and specialists to document your injuries, and how they affect your daily life and ability to work.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If someone else caused your accident, you may be entitled to recover:
- Emergency medical care and hospital bills
- Follow-up treatment, rehab, and therapy
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or anxiety
- Permanent disabilities or scarring
- Property damage (moped repair or replacement)
- Funeral costs (in fatal crashes)
We handle the insurance process from start to finish and fight to get you every dollar you’re owed.
What If the Insurance Company Blames You?
South Carolina uses a modified comparative fault system, which means:
- You can recover compensation if you’re less than 51% at fault
- Your total compensation is reduced by your share of fault
If the other driver, or their insurance company tries to blame you, we’ll gather the facts: police reports, crash scene photos, surveillance footage, and more. We work to protect your rights and push back against unfair claims.
Why Work With Ted Law Firm?
Moped accident cases can be more complicated than they seem. Insurance companies often don’t take moped riders seriously, and they rarely offer fair compensation right away.
We help clients in Anderson, Belton, Williamston, Powdersville, Pendleton, and across Anderson County.
