Scooters are an easy method of individual transportation. Still, without the shield of a protective barrier, serious accidents (and injuries) can occur. If you or a loved one was injured while riding a scooter, our Springfield personal injury lawyer will identify the at-fault party and seek full compensation for your damages. We will also deal with the involved insurance company, so you can focus on getting better.
When our Springfield scooter accident lawyers at The Fitch Law Firm LLC represent you, we start with a free consultation that lets us delve into the details of your case. From there, we can chart a path moving forward and offer support however we can.
Our No-Win, No-Fee Policy for Scooter Accidents in Springfield
You can put our law firm to work without incurring any upfront or out-of-pocket fees or expenses. Rather than charging traditional hourly fees and investigation costs, our fee is contingent on your financial recovery. We will cover the costs of:
- Investigating your accident
- Consulting relevant experts
- Filing court documents
If we cannot recover compensation on your behalf, you will owe us no attorney’s fees at all.
Our Law Firm Pursues Compensation After Springfield Scooter Accidents
When you entrust us with your case, your personal injury attorney will seek economic (tangible) and non-economic (intangible) damages after your accident. These can include:
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Past and future lost wages
- Physical pain and suffering
- Disability and disfigurement
- Loss of future earning ability
- Past and future medical expenses
- Property damage or total loss
- Mental and emotional anguish
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Funeral and burial costs (if you’re filing a wrongful death case)
We collect the bills, receipts, and estimates that prove the value of your economic damages. When calculating your non-economic damages, we consider the accident’s effect on your life.
You Have a Short Time to Pursue Scooter Accident Damages
According to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10, you generally have two years to file your personal injury lawsuit. Similarly, Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02 generally gives you two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit.
The filing deadline can be difficult to determine on your own. Our legal team will help you avoid the costly consequences of filing your lawsuit too late. Waiting too long to initiate your legal case could cost you the right to seek fair compensation altogether.
We will investigate any circumstances that might toll or pause the filing deadline. From the moment you hire our team, we work to preserve your legal rights and take care of all obligations before time runs out.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.

How We Prove Negligence Caused Your Springfield, Ohio, Scooter Accident
When we pursue the at-fault party in your scooter accident case, we start by proving they were negligent. That means proving they owed you a duty of care and failed to provide it. It also means proving their action caused your accident and that your accident had financial consequences.
To prove negligence and to document the cost of your requested compensation, we include the following items in your case file:
- The police report
- Injury photos
- Proof of income
- Accident scene photos
- First responder reports
- Accident reconstruction data
- Eyewitness statements
- Medical records and bills
We will not ask you or your family to track down or order evidence. Instead, we compile your evidence from all available sources. Our team will even consult the experts your case needs and work with them to prepare written statements or testimonies.
Springfield Scooter Accidents Our Personal Injury Law Firm Manages
Scooters can be hard to spot if motor vehicle drivers are not vigilant. Our team represents scooter occupants who were injured in the following ways:
- In a collision with a car caused by the distraction, fatigue, drug or alcohol intoxication, or any other form of negligence on the vehicle driver’s part
- In a collision with a pedestrian or other passerby who was distracted by a smartphone, another pedestrian, or while walking in the scooter’s path
- In a collision caused by a manufacturing or design defect on the scooter, which caused a sudden stop and resulted in serious injuries
Our law firm will investigate every possible cause of your accident and identify all potentially liable parties. We will have the scooter inspected if a malfunction is suspected and examine your crash report for additional factors that prove the accident’s causes and contributing factors.
Our Attorneys Advocate for Claimants With These Conditions

- Stiff and sore muscles
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Road rash and torn skin
- Deep lacerations and blood loss
- Broken and fractured bones
- Back and spinal cord injuries
We will collect medical records and a written prognosis from every healthcare facility where you were treated. These documents will prove the extent of your injury, describe your treatment protocol, and determine known and anticipated costs.
