What happens if you're involved in a motorcycle accident and you aren't
wearing a helmet? Are you still allowed to file a claim?
My name's Kenneth Berger, I practice law here in Columbia, South Carolina, and handle
cases all over the state. I made this video to answer this question for you.
Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries.
One of the injuries that they often produce is a traumatic brain injury.
Those are known as TBI's. Now, TBI's can occur if you're wearing a helmet or
you weren't wearing a helmet, and South Carolina the law does not require adults
to wear helmets while they ride motorcycles.
It might be a good idea, but the legislature doesn't demand it.
So, if you're involved in a motorcycle accident, if you're wearing a helmet or
if you were not,
so long as that accident was another driver's fault,
you're still able to pursue a claim. You can receive compensation for every harm
and every loss that you experienced, including the losses related to a
traumatic brain injury, because what's more
those can occur for motorcycle riders wearing helmets, or not.
If you've sustained a head injury, or another form
of serious injury in a motorcycle accident and have questions about our helmet law,
or your rights to compensation, please know that we're here to help you.
