Car Accidents
Report
Car accidents are an unfortunate fact of life. In the most recent year for which statistics are available, the Federal Highway Administration reports 2,842,553 licensed drivers in South Carolina alone and a total of 95,796,069 in the U.S. Not all drivers operate their vehicles with reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others.
Motorcycle Accidents
Report
According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), motorcyclists are much more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to suffer serious or fatal injuries in a crash. In fact, per vehicle miles driven, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) reports that traffic crash fatality rates for motorcycles are 28 times higher than for passenger vehicles.
