Should I accept an offer from an insurance company after an accident?
No. Insurance companies are quick to offer a settlement after a motorcycle accident. They do this because they want you to accept an offer before the full extent of your injuries is known. That's not fair. Just because they've made an offer doesn't mean you have to accept it. At Twenge + Twombley, our attorneys have a hard-earned reputation as tough-minded litigators who work to hold insurance companies responsible for your accident. When it's your future at stake, we take your case seriously.

What if I was partially at fault for my South Carolina motorcycle accident?
South Carolina is a comparative negligence state. That means you can recover damages for a motorcycle accident even when you're partially at fault for that accident. You can recover compensation from the insurance company of the other driver as long as your fault does not exceed 51 percent. Your recovery will be reduced by any percentage of fault that is assigned to you. These cases typically require assistance from an experienced lawyer to successfully resolve.

Can I file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in South Carolina?
Yes. If we believe filing a claim is the best way to resolve your case, we can work with you to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island or anywhere else across the Lowcountry. As your legal advocates, we will only do so at your discretion and after all legal options have been explored. You ultimately decide what to do.
