Yes. Motorcycles are particularly vulnerable to dangerous road conditions because their two wheels make them less stable than typical passenger vehicles. Potholes, uneven pavement, loose gravel, and deteriorating road surfaces that may not affect a car or truck can cause a motorcyclist to lose control.
Depending on the circumstances, a government agency or another party responsible for road maintenance may bear liability if poor road conditions cause a motorcycle accident. However, claims against government entities involve special legal requirements and potentially shorter filing deadlines under S.C. Code § 15-78-110.
