The Growing Risk of Scooter Accidents

Understanding the causes and potential liability in e-scooter incidents:

Scooter accidents are increasingly common due to the rise of electric scooters, resulting in injuries to riders, pedestrians, and others on the road.
These accidents often occur from collisions with vehicles, riders hitting pedestrians, road hazards, scooter malfunctions, or pedestrians tripping over abandoned scooters.
Liability can be complex and may involve the scooter rental company, the rider, a vehicle driver, or even the city based on the specific circumstances.
CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
"After being thrown over the handlebars of a rental scooter due to a sudden phantom braking issue, a young Ohio State student suffered serious facial and dental injuries. The scooter company initially refused to accept responsibility, claiming user error was to blame. However, Heit Law's expertise with alternative transportation accidents proved invaluable. Through our thorough investigation and aggressive advocacy, we successfully demonstrated that the scooter had malfunctioned. Despite the company's initial resistance, our legal team secured a substantial settlement that fully compensated our client for her injuries and medical expenses, allowing her to focus on recovery rather than battling with the rental company."
