Electric scooters have revolutionized transportation in urban areas, offering convenience and eco-friendly mobility. However, their rising popularity has also led to increased accidents, resulting in serious injuries for riders, pedestrians, and even motorists. If you’ve been involved in an electric scooter accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses. At Lach Injury Law, we specialize in representing victims of electric scooter accidents, ensuring that negligent parties are held accountable and that you receive the justice you deserve.

Understanding Electric Scooter Accidents

Electric scooters may seem harmless, but their lightweight design, limited safety features, and high speeds can make them dangerous. Common causes of electric scooter accidents include:

• Reckless Riding: Riders weaving through traffic, ignoring traffic laws, or speeding.
• Defective Scooters: Faulty brakes, malfunctioning motors, or design flaws leading to crashes.
• Hazardous Road Conditions: Potholes, uneven pavement, and debris cause scooters to lose stability.
• Collisions with Vehicles: Drivers failing to notice or yield to scooters on the road.
• Pedestrian Involvement: Accidents involving pedestrians on crowded sidewalks or crosswalks.

Electric scooter accidents often result in serious injuries, such as fractures, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and soft tissue damage.

Victims of electric scooter accidents may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical Expenses: Including emergency care, hospital stays, physical therapy, and long-term treatment.
• Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost during recovery or due to a permanent disability.
