Electric Scooter Injuries

Electric scooters and other “micro-mobility” devices have transformed city travel—but their rising popularity comes with real dangers. Head injuries, fractures, and internal trauma from scooter accidents are climbing fast. A recent study showed e-scooter injuries increased by over 45%, from 8,566 in 2017 to 56,847 in 2022.

If you’ve been hurt while riding—or hit by an e-scooter—you need a legal team that knows the landscape. At Alex’s Law Firm, we investigate every angle: from faulty scooter components to dangerous road conditions to negligent drivers or rental companies.

• Defective scooters – malfunctioning brakes, throttles, or battery failure
• Poor infrastructure – potholes, uneven surfaces, lack of bike lane
• Negligent drivers – distracted, impaired, or ignoring scooter riders
• User inexperience – rider error, low visibility, or risky behavior like riding without a helmet

E-scooter accidents can range from minor to life-altering. Common injuries include:

• Head trauma: concussions, TBIs, skull fractures
• Broken bones: wrists, arms, legs, collarbones
• Road rash & lacerations: painful skin abrasions, cuts
• Spinal cord injuries: risk of paralysis or long-term disability
• Internal organ damage: bruising, bleeding, organ trauma

1. Call 911 or local emergency services — even if injuries seem minor, internal damage can evolve
2. Seek medical attention right away
3. File a police report or document the incident, even if help doesn’t come to the scene
4. Document everything — photos, videos, witness info, scooter or vehicle details
5. Don’t talk to insurers before consulting a lawyer — they may push for low settlements

Electric scooter cases can be complex. Multiple parties may share liability—rental companies, manufacturers, drivers, city agencies. Our attorneys:

• Build strong cases whether your accident was due to malfunction or negligence

• Aim to maximize compensation for your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and suffering

We stay current with evolving scooter laws, safety regulations, and local liability frameworks—so we can defend your rights effectively

Recovering from an e-scooter injury shouldn’t be another burden. We’re here to:

• Handle insurance claims and legal complexity

• Secure the compensation you need to focus on healing

• Champion your rights aggressively—whether through negotiation or in court
