Our Scooter Accident Legal Services
Collision & Incident Investigation
We investigate scooter crashes involving vehicles, pedestrians, or other riders by reviewing police reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements. Early investigation is key, especially in busy Miami areas where video evidence may be overwritten.
Rental Scooter Liability Claims
If your injury involved a rental scooter such as Bird or Lime, we examine equipment maintenance, brake failures, and company responsibility. We cut through fine-print user agreements to pursue valid claims.
Motor Vehicle vs. Scooter Accidents
Drivers often fail to see scooter riders, leading to devastating collisions. We hold negligent drivers accountable for unsafe lane changes, distracted driving, and failure to yield.
Pedestrian Injury Claims
Scooter riders can also cause serious injuries to pedestrians. We represent pedestrians struck by reckless or improperly operated scooters.
Why Scooter Accidents Are Increasing in Miami
Miami’s warm climate and tourism-driven transportation options have made scooters a popular alternative to cars. Unfortunately, scooters offer little protection, leaving riders vulnerable to head injuries, broken bones, and internal trauma. Accidents often occur due to road hazards, uneven pavement, speeding vehicles, or scooter malfunctions. Pedestrians are also at risk when scooters are operated recklessly on sidewalks or crowded walkways.
