As electric scooters have poured into cities throughout the United States, officials and doctors have been alarmed at the frequency and severity of injuries caused by electric scooter collisions. Various groups of people can sustain injuries in electric scooter accidents, including the riders of the scooters themselves, pedestrians struck by inexperienced riders, as well as vehicle drivers and passengers involved in a collision with an electric scooter or while trying to avoid striking a scooter.
The accident attorneys at Colson Hicks Eidson can help clients who have sustained the following:
In most situations, the electric scooter companies will not have any liability for a crash involving these little vehicles. Drivers typically electronically sign a waiver of liability when they rent the electric scooters. However, if a scooter company provides a consumer with a defective vehicle, it may be possible to hold the company and/or the manufacturer accountable.
It is possible that other parties could be at-fault for causing a scooter accident, just like in a car accident. For pedestrians and other bystanders injured due to the actions of a scooter rider, they may be able to hold the rider accountable. For scooter riders injured due to the actions of others, including vehicle drivers, these individuals may be able to pursue compensation from the at-fault party.
