About Scooter Accident Claims

Electric Scooters are the talk of the town in major cities. They provide an easy mode of transportation in congested cities and can be found readily available on many street corners.

But just because they’re available doesn’t make them safe. With thousands of scooters now operating in the Bay Area accidents are becoming more prevalent. Not only can the scooters be dangerous to ride, but the fact that people leave them almost anywhere creates many safety hazards which can cause slip and falls, bike accidents, and more.

If you were a scooter rider who was injured due to someone else’s negligence you should speak to an attorney right away. Sometimes insurance companies will try to shift the blame for medical bills, loss of work, or pain and suffering resulting from a scooter accident.

Are Electric Scooters Dangerous?

With the prevalence of powerful electric scooters in major cities across America, there has been no shortage of injuries. It’s become such a problem that according to the Washington Post, the CDC is now investigation scooter injuries to see how dangerous they really are. While many people ride these scooters every day without injuries there have also been fatalities in California and Texas. In California, a man riding a Bird scooter was hit and killed by a car after running a red light.

The reason that electric scooters are so dangerous is that they offer little or no protection if you’re hit by an object, fall off, or hit a large bump in the road. In addition to this many scooter drivers opt not to wear helmets which can lead to serious brain injuries after a fall or accident.
