Pedestrian Injury
If you are a pedestrian injured by an E-scooter, there's no need to be frustrated with your situation. We believe we can help you identify the correct and viable avenues that exist to properly compensate you for your claim and injuries.
Accidents involving E-scooters and pedestrians are some of the most unfortunate and frustrating accidents that happen and the attorneys at E-ScooterLaw.Com understand this. We know that the pedestrian involved in the accident was a non-participant. Let's be honest, how many people think that when they go out walking on the sidewalk that they're going to get hit by a vehicle that is, frankly, traveling at a pretty fast speed? No one. Add to that insult the accident can happen from an E-scooter approaching from behind, with an electric motor that makes little to no sound. The pedestrian who's injured may not have had any warning, whatsoever, that they were about to be seriously injured.
And yes, pedestrians can be seriously injured by E-scooters; they frequently are. These E-scooters that people are riding, often times on the sidewalks, are weighted and moving fast. That means they're carrying enough force and inertia that when they hit a pedestrian they can do real damage.
Broken bones, shattered teeth, serious head trauma, and other significant injuries are regularly sustained by pedestrians involved in E-scooter accidents. These are very expensive injuries to treat. Pedestrians who undergo surgery will receive hospital bills totaling thousands of dollars. In addition, many victims will be unable to work and suffer other economic losses as a result of the accident. Some injuries can even have lifetime implications.
On top of it all, the ultimate level of frustration that most pedestrians feel is that there is no source of monetary recovery that can help them pay for the injuries suffered in their accident involving an E-scooter.
Many pedestrians involved in E‑scooter accidents mistakenly believe that there is no insurance available to them. After all, most people who are familiar with the rental of E-scooters realize that insurance isn't offered when you rent the vehicle. Anyone can see that E-scooters don't have registration on them and, as a result, presumably don't have an insurance policy either. And the thought of fighting with E-scooter companies over the negligence of the operator can be overwhelming.
These assumptions can cost you a lot. The lawyers at E-ScooterLaw.Com think differently. We know that there are a number of sources of insurance that are available to compensate pedestrians who are injured in E-scooter accidents.
One, the E-scooter rental company has an obligation to provide minimum-limits coverage to pedestrians involved in an accident. Two, the E-scooter operator’s vehicle insurance may, under certain circumstances, have a liability to the pedestrian injured. Finally, we know that pedestrians are covered by valid uninsured motorist insurance. Bottom line: the experienced attorneys at E-ScooterLaw.Com can help you recover if you are injured in an E-scooter accident.
If you are a pedestrian who has been hurt in an accident involving an E-scooter, understand that you can recover monetarily for your case with the assistance of our attorneys. We can help you understand all of the available avenues to appropriately compensate you for your injuries and losses.
