Injured In a Scooter Accident in North Carolina? We Can Help.

Electric scooters travel up to 15 miles per hour. If a rider is struck by a car, serious injury or death can result. Some of the risks that Bird, Lime, Jump & Lyft riders face include:

· Riders are less visible to car drivers

· No barrier between scooter rider and road

· Road hazards

· Scooter instability

· Inexperienced riders

· Panic stop

· High-risk behavior

· Vandalized scooters 



Even people who carefully ride scooters and react well to pedestrian and vehicle traffic can be caught off-guard and injured, either by a scooter defect or a negligent third party.
