Frequently Asked Questions

What immediate steps should I take if I'm hit by a vehicle while riding my scooter?

First, prioritize your safety by moving to a safe area away from traffic. Then follow these steps:

  • Call 911 if you are injured.
  • Document the accident scene with photos, if possible.
  • Collect contact details from the driver and any witnesses.
  • Do not remove your scooter gear; it could serve as evidence.
  • Preserve the state of your scooter as it was after the accident for evidence purposes.
Should I seek medical attention even if I feel fine after a scooter accident?

Yes, always obtain medical attention after an accident, even if you feel unharmed. Injuries from scooter accidents can be concealed or delayed, such as internal injuries or head trauma. Immediate medical evaluation is also vital for supporting your legal case.

How can a personal injury lawyer assist me if I've been hit while on my scooter?

A personal injury lawyer will assess your situation, explain your legal rights, and represent you in interactions with insurance companies. They help ensure you receive compensation for medical costs, scooter repairs, lost income, and pain and suffering. They will also gather necessary evidence, including accident reports and medical records, to solidify your claim.

What types of compensation might I be eligible for after a scooter accident?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, scooter repair or replacement costs, lost earnings if you're unable to work, and pain and suffering. In severe cases of negligence, you might also qualify for punitive damages.

What should I do if the driver who hit me fled the scene?

Immediately record any details you can about the vehicle, such as its color, model, make, or any part of the license plate. Contact the police to report the hit and run right away. Avoid chasing the driver. This information will be used by your lawyer to attempt to locate the driver and manage your claims through your uninsured motorist policy.
