Bicycle Crashes

South Carolina Bike Crash Lawyers

Have you or someone you ride with been in a serious bicycle crash? The lawyers at Leventis & Ransom are uniquely qualified to help you. We are not just attorneys. We are also experienced bicyclists who have been actively involved in the South Carolina cycling community for more than 20 years. For that reason, we have a particular interest in making sure that our fellow cyclists receive the respect and protection they deserve and are entitled to under South Carolina law.

In 2007, South Carolina saw a number of high profile tragedies involving bicyclist deaths and these cases have resulted in increased public awareness about the need for drivers to pay attention to the bicycles haring the roadway with them. There is renewed hope that the South Carolina General Assembly, prodded by thesed tragedies, will expand and solidify the legal protections for bicycles.

We offer free initial consultations in bicycle accident cases

Our trusted personal injury and wrongful death attorneys are ready to learn about your case and let you know how we can help. E-mail us or call us at 803-765-2383.

All bicycle accident cases are handled on a contingency basis. You do not owe us anything unless we succeed in obtaining compensation on your claim.

Each of our lawyers has 20 years of legal experience. To that experience, we add the years we have spent riding, training and racing on the roads, not just in Columbia but all over South Carolina, the United States, and France. We know from experience that many bicycle injuries are the result of being struck by a car or truck.

No one understands a bicycle wreck case quite like someone who has dodged a turning car or ducked an outside mirror, too. We know first hand about the pain of road rash and the limitations of a broken collar bone. We also know how a bicycle helmet can be the difference between injury and death. And we appreciate how a carbon fiber bicycle with top-line wheels and professional components can cost as much as a small car to repair.

In addition to bicycle accidents caused by negligent or reckless drivers, there are other things that can cause you to crash. Defective bicycle components or frame materials can also cause a serious accident. Poorly kept roads with large chunks of broken pavement or deep potholes can be a life-threatening hazard when met by an unsuspecting bicyclist.

No matter what caused your bicycle crash, we are here to help. Even if you are not certain the crash was the fault of anyone but yourself, we encourage you to get in touch with us. We will listen to your situation and provide you with the sound legal advice we believe our fellow cyclists deserve.
