We help with a wide range of e-scooter accidents
E-Scooter vs. Car Collision
Accidents where a motor vehicle driver's negligence causes a collision with a scooter rider, often due to failure to yield or check bike lanes.
Defective Scooter Accidents
When a malfunction in the e-scooter itself—such as faulty brakes, a defective battery, or a broken handlebar—causes a crash and injury.
Road Hazard Accidents
Crashes caused by dangerous road conditions like potholes, uneven pavement, or unmarked construction zones that cities or property owners failed to maintain.
Pedestrian & E-Scooter Incidents
Cases involving either a scooter rider hitting a pedestrian or a pedestrian stepping into a rider's path, causing an accident.
'Dooring' Accidents
When a driver or passenger of a parked car opens their door directly in the path of an oncoming e-scooter rider, leaving no time to react.
Hit-and-Run E-Scooter Cases
When the at-fault party, typically a motorist, flees the scene after causing an accident with an e-scooter rider.
Common types of
Intersection Collisions
These happen when cars, trucks, or buses fail to see or yield the right-of-way to a scooter rider at an intersection, often while making a turn. Because riders are so exposed, these accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries. An attorney can use traffic camera footage and witness statements to establish fault.
Side-Impact or 'T-Bone' Crashes
A side-impact crash occurs when the front of a vehicle strikes the side of an e-scooter. This often happens when a driver runs a red light or stop sign. The lack of physical protection for the rider means these T-bone collisions frequently result in severe trauma, including broken bones and internal injuries.
Sudden Stop & Fall Accidents
Riders often crash when forced to brake suddenly or swerve to avoid unexpected obstacles like pedestrians, animals, or debris in the road. These falls can cause significant injuries even without another vehicle being involved. Proving liability may involve identifying why the sudden maneuver was necessary.
Rideshare Scooter Malfunctions
Accidents caused by poorly maintained rental scooters from companies like Lime, Bird, or Spin. Issues like faulty accelerators, failing brakes, or software glitches can throw a rider unexpectedly. A scooter accident lawyer can investigate maintenance logs and company negligence to build a case.
Failure to Yield Accidents
Many e-scooter accidents happen because motorists simply fail to yield the right-of-way. This is common at crosswalks, in bike lanes, and when drivers are entering or exiting driveways. An attorney can help prove the driver violated traffic laws and is liable for the rider’s injuries.
Poor Road Condition Accidents
E-scooters' small wheels make them extremely vulnerable to road defects like potholes, large cracks, and uneven surfaces. If a city or municipality fails to maintain safe road conditions, they may be held liable for a resulting crash. Documenting the specific hazard is key to these claims.
