Scooter Accidents

Do you need a scooter accident attorney?

Rentable electric scooters from companies such as Bird, Lime, Spin, and Veoride have become an extremely common mode of transport in the last few years. Because of their novelty, popularity, low cost, and the general lack of laws surrounding them, there has been a sharp increase in scooter-related injuries and even cases of death reported. If you or a loved one have been involved in an electric scooter accident due to someone else’s negligence or a scooter malfunction, you deserve to be compensated for your losses.

What are the common causes of scooter accidents?

There are countless ways someone can be injured from an electric scooter. These include:

• A malfunctioning scooter, such as one with brake failure, a flat tire, a stuck throttle, loose handlebars, and more
• Improper road conditions
• A crash with a motorist, bicyclist, or another person on a scooter

Injuries can range from bumps and scratches to broken bones, fractures, and in severe cases, traumatic brain injury.

Who is responsible?

A trusted lawyer can help you determine if another person was at fault or if you rented a defective scooter. Others on the road or the scooter company may be liable for your injuries and financial losses.
