Our Marion Accident Attorneys Understand How Scooter Injuries Occur
At The Fitch Law Firm LLC, we represent clients injured in any scooter accident involving both electric kick scooters (e-scooters) and Vespa-style Euro ride-on scooters. We also help clients injured in many types of scooter collisions. In almost any situation where someone else’s negligence could cause a crash, we can help:
- Scooter Hit by Car: Unfortunately, these are the most common scooter accident injuries we see—and also the most serious. Scooters are smaller than other vehicles, making them more difficult to see. These crashes are even more likely if the car’s driver is distracted, drunk, drowsy, or under the influence of marijuana or another drug.
- Scooter Hits Pedestrian: When a pedestrian and scooter collide, it is often the scooter driver’s fault. However, there are exceptions. These cases require careful investigation to determine fault and liability.
- Scooter Malfunction Crash: Sometimes, an issue with the scooter itself could cause a crash. For example, a defective part could cause a scooter to stop suddenly, throwing the rider a significant distance and leading to severe injuries.
Our attorneys investigate these accidents to determine what happened and the events that led to the crash. The potentially liable parties in these cases could include drivers, e-scooter rental companies, or even the scooter manufacturer.
Unfortunately, many e-scooter riders fail to wear the recommended safety gear, such as a helmet. These scooters move quickly, and a fall could result in a traumatic brain injury. Moreover, when a car fails to yield and turns into the scooter, the impact often leaves the unprotected rider with catastrophic injuries.
How Our Marion Scooter Accident Attorney Can Secure a Payout
Many of our successful personal injury cases have settled out of court. In fact, many accident cases end this way. We’ll negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance carrier for a fair settlement and secure the payout our client deserves based on their case facts.
However, we might have to take the case to trial if settlement talks fail. Even while preparing for trial, we will continue negotiating with the insurance company, hoping to settle your claim. Still, we will argue your case in court and fight for fair compensation if necessary. We will present compelling evidence to the jury and ask them to order a reasonable payment based on the documented damages.
