Common Causes of Scooter Accidents In The Bay Area 

According to a recent study done by UCSF, e-bike and e-scooter injuries are on the rise. Fatal electric scooter incidents and injuries are on the rise in San Francisco since the pandemic started in 2020, according to recently published data from the city. According to a July 2024 Axios article, electric scooter accidents are soaring in San Francisco.

Electric scooters, while convenient, present unique risks. Accidents can occur due to several factors, including:

  • Driver Negligence: Distracted or reckless automobile drivers can pose a significant threat to scooter riders.
  • Road Hazards: Potholes, uneven surfaces, and road debris can easily destabilize scooters.
  • Defective Scooters: Mechanical failures, brake malfunctions, or battery issues can lead to serious injuries.
  • Inexperienced Riders: Many riders are new to scooter operation, increasing the risk of accidents.
  • Poor Visibility: Lack of proper lighting or visibility at night can lead to collisions.

Understanding the cause of your accident is essential in building a strong case. Our team will thoroughly investigate to identify all contributing factors and liable parties.

  • Government Entities: Poorly maintained public roads or hazardous conditions on city property can lead to government liability.

Our team thoroughly investigates the circumstances of your accident to determine fault and build a strong case on your behalf.

Steps to Take Immediately After a Scooter Accident

Taking prompt action after a scooter accident can help protect your legal rights:

  1. Call The Police And Report The Accident: Request police and paramedics be dispatched to the accident scene.
  2. Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Even minor injuries should be checked by a medical professional.
  3. Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident site, any vehicles involved, any visible injuries, and the scooter.
  4. Collect Contact Information: Gather details from witnesses and parties involved. Take photos of the other party’s driver’s license and insurance card.
  5. Report the Accident to Scooter Rental Companies: Notify the scooter company and, if applicable, the property owner or local authorities.
  6. Consult a Lawyer: Contacting an experienced scooter accident attorney is vital for protecting your legal rights.

Our attorneys can guide you through these steps, ensuring that evidence is preserved, and your case is properly documented.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scooter Accidents in San Francisco

What Should I Do Immediately After a Scooter Accident?

If you’ve been involved in a scooter accident, take these steps to protect yourself and your potential legal claim:

  • Call the Police: A police report can provide crucial evidence if you need to file a claim.
  • Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
  • Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any vehicle or road hazards involved.
  • Obtain Contact Information: Get details from witnesses, the other party involved, and any responding law enforcement officers.
  • Avoid Admitting Fault: Do not apologize or admit fault, as this could be used against you later.
  • Consult a Scooter Accident Lawyer: An experienced personal injury attorney can help you understand your rights and seek compensation for your injuries.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Scooter Accident?

Liability depends on the circumstances of the accident. Responsible parties may include:

  • Negligent Drivers: If a car or truck driver was at fault for hitting you.
  • Scooter Companies: If the accident was caused by a defective scooter or a malfunction.
  • Government Entities: If poorly maintained roads or hazardous conditions contributed to the accident.
  • Other Riders or Pedestrians: In cases where another person’s reckless behavior led to the collision.

What Types of Compensation Can I Recover After a Scooter Accident?

Victims of scooter accidents may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses: Including hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
  • Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working.
  • Pain and Suffering: For physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
  • Property Damage: If your personal property, such as your scooter or phone, was damaged in the accident.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim After a Scooter Accident in California?

Under California’s statute of limitations, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, if a government entity is involved (e.g., a hazardous road condition), the timeframe may be as short as six months. It’s crucial to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.

Why Should I Hire a Lawyer for My Scooter Accident Case?

Handling a scooter accident claim on your own can be challenging. An experienced San Francisco scooter accident lawyer can:

  • Investigate the accident and gather crucial evidence.
  • Handle negotiations with insurance companies to seek a fair settlement.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary to fight for maximum compensation.
  • Protect you from unfair blame or lowball settlement offers.
