Electric Scooter Accidents
Electric scooters are gaining in popularity across the country, especially in places like Florida, where the weather is nice enough to ride year-round. However, the more electric scooters appear on sidewalks, streets, and walkways, the more accidents involving these vehicles can happen. If you’ve been injured while riding a scooter or by a scooter rider, then a Florida electric scooter accident lawyer may be able to help you recover compensation for your accident.
There are already reports from the users of services like Bird and Lime who have suffered serious injuries due to or while riding an electric scooter. At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, our Florida personal injury lawyers believe in providing clients with unwavering and reliable legal representation. With over 50 years of combined legal experience, you are in good hands with our team.

Injuries from scooter accidents can vary, depending on the nature of the accident itself (e.g., if you were hit by a car or if it was a single-vehicle crash), which often causes serious physical damage. These injuries can include:
Your injuries can mean missing time from work while recovering and having to pay expensive medical bills for treatment. In severe cases, paralysis may occur, and you may now need long-term care for your foreseeable future.
One of our motorized scooter accident lawyers in Florida can fight for you to receive full compensation for all of the losses your accident has caused. Rosenberg & Rosenberg can seek compensation for damages like the following:
These include things like medical expenses, lost wages, loss of possible job benefits such as PTO and salary increases, diminished earning capacity, home modifications needed to make your house more accessible, and long-term care for assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).
These are losses without a direct financial cost. They include things like physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injuries, the inability to take part in hobbies or activities you once enjoyed, and loss of consortium.
It’s important to note that personal injury cases do have a legal deadline. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you typically only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit or, in the event that a loved one passed away in the accident, a wrongful death lawsuit. The sooner you speak to our scooter injury attorneys, the easier it may be for us to protect your rights.
After an e-scooter accident, you may be struggling with pain, mental anguish, and worries about your financial future. Dealing with the confusion and complexity of a personal injury claim can be frustrating and stressful. Let us take on that burden on your behalf.
Our legal team has your best interests at the heart of what we do. Our firm was founded on hard work, a love for our community in Florida, and a desire to help people. We work on a contingency-fee basis, so there are no upfront costs to you. Instead, you will only pay our fee if we recover compensation for your case.
