Helmets greatly improve the chances of surviving a motorcycle crash, and can increase the amount of compensation you may receive in a personal injury suit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In South Carolina, wearing a helmet is only required if you\u2019re under the age of 21. While the law states that it\u2019s mandatory for riders over the age of 21 to wear a helmet, there is no criminal consequences for being caught without one. Many <em>motorcycle accident lawyers<\/em> though will encourage you to wear helmets always \u2014 not only to they strengthen cases surrounding accidents, they keep the rider safe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you were recently in a motorcycle accident and were not wearing a helmet, you can still file a personal injury case. However, if there are specific damages that could have been prevented by wearing a helmet, the opposing attorney could argue that their client is not responsible for those damages. This could potentially reduce the amount of damages you\u2019d recover from the case. It\u2019s important to consult with a <em>motorcycle accident lawyer<\/em> to get a full understanding of the case and what you\u2019re qualified to receive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>South Carolina has unique laws on the wearing motorcycle helmets, where even if there is some fault from the injured plaintiff, they can still recover damages from the defendant. This is due to a system of modified comparative negligence. With this system, a judge will determine what percentage of the damages were your own fault, based on things like not wearing a helmet or driving recklessly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one was recently injured in an accident, contact a <em>motorcycle accident lawyer<\/em> at the law offices of John Price. Their qualified team of lawyers can assist throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Wearing a Helmet Influences Your Case &nbsp; It\u2019s no secret that if you\u2019re riding or driving a motorcycle, you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[117,118,122,124,125,351,846],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal-injury-attorney","category-personal-injury-lawyer","category-personalinjury","category-accident-attorney","category-accidents","category-personalinjurylawsuit","category-personal-injury"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) -
