Lime and Scooter Accidents

LA Law Firm: Your Expert Personal Injury Trial Lawyers for Scooter Accident Claims

As electric scooters, particularly Lime scooters, transform transportation in major U.S. cities, a unique set of safety concerns arises. These popular scooters allow users to rent an electric vehicle through a smartphone app and leave it at their destination. While convenient, scooter use has brought about numerous injuries to riders, pedestrians, and drivers of other vehicles. At LA Law Firm, we specialize in personal injury trials and are here to help if you’ve been involved in a scooter accident.

Understanding Lime Scooter Risks

Despite their convenience, Lime scooters pose several risks due to product defects, rider errors, and poor traffic practices. Scooter-related injuries can stem from multiple causes:

  • Product Defects: Lime scooters occasionally have issues with brakes, tires, lights, and batteries. A defect in any of these components can put users and others at risk of accidents.
  • Inexperienced or Reckless Drivers: Pedestrians and cyclists are often hit by scooter riders who may lack experience or disregard traffic regulations.
  • Technical Malfunctions: Lime has even acknowledged “excessive braking” incidents caused by a firmware issue, leading to sudden stops that have resulted in injuries.

While Lime’s user agreement suggests that riders are liable for injuries or damages, this does not mean victims of scooter accidents should automatically assume fault. Our attorneys understand how to navigate the complexities of these agreements and can advocate for fair compensation on your behalf.

What to Do After a Scooter Accident

If you’ve been involved in a Lime scooter accident, the following steps can help secure your case:

  1. Document the Scene: Take photos of your injuries, the scooter, and the accident location.
  2. Gather Contact Information: Exchange details with anyone involved and, if possible, obtain witness statements.
  3. Record Trip Details: Take a screenshot of the trip information in your Lime app.
  4. Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, a medical evaluation is essential to document any injuries that may not be immediately apparent.

Our experienced team will guide you through every aspect of your case. We handle investigations, gather evidence, and ensure that all relevant factors are brought to light, from faulty equipment to corporate negligence.
