Common Causes of Scooter Accidents
Scooter accidents often occur due to negligence, unsafe road conditions, or defective equipment. Common causes include:
- Driver Negligence: Cars or trucks failing to yield to scooters or driving recklessly.
- Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, uneven surfaces, or debris causing loss of control.
- Scooter Malfunctions: Defective brakes, wheels, or batteries leading to accidents.
- Improper Scooter Maintenance: Rental companies failing to inspect or repair scooters.
- Pedestrian Collisions: Scooters striking individuals on crowded sidewalks or walkways.
- Distracted Riding: Using phones or other distractions while operating a scooter.
- Lack of Safety Measures: Absence of protective gear, such as helmets, increasing injury severity.
If negligence or unsafe conditions caused your scooter accident, we are here to hold the responsible parties accountable.
