FAQ

Questions About Electric Scooter Accidents?

Get answers to common questions. Still have questions? for a free consultation.

01

Are electric scooters legal in New York?

Yes, New York legalized e-scooters and e-bikes in 2020, but regulations vary by locality. NYC has specific rules about where they can be ridden and speed limits. Understanding these rules is important for determining liability in accidents.

02

Who is liable if I'm hit by a rented scooter?

Potentially the rider, the rental company, or both. Rental company liability depends on the maintenance of the scooter and their user agreements. We investigate all potential sources of recovery.

03

Can I sue if I was injured while riding my own scooter?

Yes, you may have claims against negligent drivers, property owners responsible for hazardous conditions, or scooter manufacturers if a defect caused your crash. We evaluate all possibilities.

04

What injuries are common in e-scooter accidents?

Common injuries include head trauma (especially without helmets), broken bones, facial injuries, wrist and hand injuries from bracing falls, and road rash. These can range from minor to catastrophic.
