Electric scooter injury compensation claims

What injuries can come from electric scooter accidents?

Whether you are riding an E-scooter or are hit by one, there are all kinds of ways in which you could come to harm.

• Brain and head injuries: Falling on a road or pavement and hitting your head could have life-changing consequences. E-scooter riders are not required by law to wear helmets.
• Hip and pelvis injuries: The velocity of an E-scooter accident could lead to long-term mobility issues. If you're not to blame and need to change your lifestyle or home as a result, you could be owed compensation.
• Spine injuries: Another injury with potentially life-altering effects. A serious spinal injury has the potential to dramatically reduce your quality of life.
• Serious injuries: Broken bones, deep cuts, and wounds - any kind of accident that happens near roads opens up a host of potentially serious injuries.
• Fatal injuries: Sadly, a number of electric scooter accidents in the UK do result in fatalities. If you've lost a loved one through someone else's negligence or actions, we could help you claim compensation.

Who can claim electric scooter injury compensation?

Simply put, just like any other road traffic accident, anyone involved in an E-scooter accident that is injured through no fault of their own is entitled to make a claim.

• E-scooter riders: If you ride an E-scooter and someone collides with you, the consequences could be serious. 
• Cyclists: E-scooters and bicycles often take up similar spaces on roads, pavements, and cycle paths. Both have the potential to travel at considerable speeds with little protection offered to either rider.
• Pedestrians: The speed of E-scooters often leaves little reaction time to pedestrians, who are accustomed to other hazards - such as vehicles and bicycles - having designated areas to travel in.
• Drivers: If negligent use of an E-scooter causes you to take evasive action and you crash, there's a high chance that you could suffer an injury as a result.

How much scooter accident compensation can I get?

We can't provide a simple answer here as your compensation amount will be determined by many factors in your case, including the injuries suffered and how they affected the life of you or a loved one you're claiming on behalf of.

General damages, those awarded for your injuries, will be calculated using the latest edition of the Judicial College guidelines.

How will my E-scooter accident claim work?

Your claim is likely to follow the same general process as any other personal injury claim.

1. Your electric scooter injury lawyer will work with you to gather as much information as possible about the case. If you have them available, then medical records, photographs, witness statements, and any communications you've had with the other party will all help.
2. As soon as this is all together, your legal team will contact the other side to inform them that you are making a compensation claim against them.
3. If they accept fault, your electric scooter injury compensation can be worked out. If they do not, your lawyer will continue legal proceedings against them. You'll be kept in the loop every step of the way. In the rare case that you need to go to court, we will also offer you full support and guidance.
4. If your claim is successful, you will pay your lawyer a pre-agreed portion of your compensation award. Our no win no fee arrangements mean you won't pay a penny even if your claim is not successful.

How long do electric scooter injury claims take?

The injuries you suffer, how they have altered your life, and the available evidence can all affect how long your claim takes - as can whether the other side admits fault immediately or not.

No matter how long your claim takes, our team and your electric scooter accident lawyer will guide you through every stage of the process.

What if I lose my E-scooter injury claim?

We don't want you to have any worries when making a scooter accident compensation claim. 

That's why we offer our services on a no win no fee basis. And we will also help you take out After the Event (ATE) insurance to cover any additional legal fees in the event of your claim not working out.
