Scooter accidents are becoming more common due to their increased use and more accessible pricing. Many victims of scooter accidents suffer severe personal injuries including head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones. Insurance companies like to blame the scooter rider as reckless or careless in order to minimize their driver’s liability or the victim’s injuries. The truth is that most scooter accident victims were injured due to a motorist’s preventable errors yielding to a scooter rider. Other times, motorists just failed to see and avoid a scooter rider. It is not fair to blame a scooter rider for the negligence of another motorist.

In 2019, we recovered $1.625 million in a scooter accident case. We represented a young man who was struck by a company van on his way home from work while driving a motor scooter. Our client suffered a broken femur fracture (upper leg) with a distal radius fracture (wrist) resulting in significant bone loss and post-traumatic arthritis. During our aggressive investigation phase, we uncovered cell phone records that demonstrated the defendant was distracted on his cell phone at the time of the accident. The matter settled a month before trial, and we were thrilled with the result. We have also recovered millions of dollars for additional scooter cases in Florida.
