los angeles scooter accident

Scooters are a cheap and efficient way to get around in Los Angeles. But scooters can be dangerous. They’re smaller, and cars often don’t see them. This can result in serious injuries, which can negatively impact your life forever.

When you’re involved in a scooter accident, you may be unsure of who is responsible for your injuries. That all depends on who is at fault in the accident.

Scooter Company

The scooter company owes you a duty of care. When you pay to rent a scooter from them, you expect the scooter to be in working condition and operate as intended.

If the scooter loses a tire or breaks when hitting a slight bump, the scooter company failed in their duty to you. When this happens, you can hold the scooter company liable for your resulting injuries.

Maintenance Company

Because scooters are frequently used, they require regular maintenance. Tires need replacing. Brakes need to be checked. Screws need tightening. When a maintenance company doesn’t properly maintain the scooter, you can hold them liable for your injuries.

Car Driver

When you’re injured in a scooter accident, the driver of the car who hit you could be to blame. If they turned a corner without looking, changed lanes without properly signaling, or entered an intersection without seeing you, your injuries could be their fault.

If you were following the rules of the road, the other driver may be entirely to blame. The last thing you need to worry about when you’re injured in a scooter accident is how you’re going to pay for your recovery
