Electric Scooter Accident


Electric Scooter Accident Lawyer in San Fernando

California residents are always looking for inexpensive forms of transportation that do not pollute the environment. For this reason, electric scooters have grown in popularity. Whether they are used as a means to travel to work, to carry a bag of groceries home from the store, or just to explore the local scene, scooters have started to take over California’s sidewalks and roadways. Even though most of these vehicles travel at low speeds, accidents are still possible. When you have been hurt in a scooter accident, you may be experiencing serious injuries and costly medical expenses. To make sure that you receive adequate compensation for your losses, it is essential to work with a qualified electric scooter accident lawyer in San Fernando.

Causes Behind Electric Scooter Accidents

There are many reasons why accidents occur when people use electric scooters.

  • Size. Since scooters are considerably smaller than conventional automobiles, drivers may have difficulties seeing them on the roads.
  • Road Hazards. Potholes, gravel, and uneven surfaces are just a few road hazards that may cause a scooter driver to swerve or become hurt.
  • Low Stability. A scooter is small and rests on two wheels. This means that it may easily wobble and lose control.
  • Low Level of Protection. Unlike cars, electric scooters do not have airbags or seat belts. Also, many riders fail to wear helmets. This increases the likelihood of being injured in an accident.
  • Scooter Malfunction. A scooter may malfunction when there are defects with the brakes, tires, or other parts of the device. This can cause a driver to lose control.

Common Injuries Associated with Electric Scooter Accidents

When someone is operating an electric scooter and experiences an accent, certain injuries may occur.

  • Scrapes and Bruises
  • Broken Bones
  • Brain Injury
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Concussion
  • Paralysis

Who is Liable for an Electric Scooter Accident?

It can be very difficult to receive fair compensation for an electric scooter accident. If the scooter malfunctioned, the manufacturer may be held responsible. If a car hit the scooter, the driver of the vehicle may be liable, especially if he or she was driving while impaired. If a scooter rider was injured when gravel or construction equipment was improperly placed on a business’s property, the business’s owner may be held accountable. If potholes or similar road problems caused an accident, the city may be responsible for liability.

Dealing with Medical Bills

After a scooter accident, a person may require extensive medical care. However, injuries may develop days or weeks after the accident. Also, medical care may be needed over the long-term. Medical bills may mount, and a victim may be tempted to settle with the guilty party so that these expenses can be paid without haste. Unfortunately, large insurance companies try to take advantage of the situation. An experienced personal injury attorney will help to fight these companies and make sure that the guilty party pays fair compensation for your pain, suffering, lost wages, and medical bills.

Reasons to Contact a San Fernando Scooter Accident Lawyer

As soon as an accident occurs, it is vital to seek medical attention and to document all injuries. Following treatment, it is essential to contact a San Fernando scooter accident attorney. This professional will investigate your case and identify who is responsible for the accident. It is not always easy to prove liability without legal help. A personal injury claim will be filed so that a victim receives adequate compensation. A scooter accident attorney knows how to deal with insurance companies and receive a fair settlement. A qualified lawyer will shoulder your burdens and help you to concentrate on your recovery.
