Atlanta Scooter Accidents
When the city of Atlanta issued permits to nine electric scooter companies, you probably thought the scooters were safe. Scooters quickly proved to be dangerous, though, and the city issued a partial ban, making it illegal to rent and drive a scooter between the hours of 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. Even with the ban, scooter accidents are on the rise. Whether you were driving the scooter or were hit by one when walking in Atlanta, you are dealing with lots of emotions right now. You’re anxious about recovering from your injuries and worried about paying for your medical bills. You’re also frustrated with dealing with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Instead of suffering through these emotions alone, reach out to our firm. We can shoulder some of the burden and file a claim onyour behalf.

Scooter Accident Claim Basics
Witnesses often play a significant role in scooter accident claims. Even with witnesses, the at-fault driver’s insurance company will attempt to dismiss the claim or settle for less than you deserve. The insurance company might state that you cannot recover damages because you are partially at fault. However, Georgia is a comparative negligence state. If your fault is less than 50 percent, you are still eligible to recover damages, although the amount is reduced based on your degree of fault.
If you agree to a settlement, the insurance company will close the claim, and you cannot collect damages in the future. That’s why it’s so important to consult an experienced scooter accident attorney before settling with the insurance company. Consulting with an attorney doesn’t mean you have to file a lawsuit. Instead, your attorney might recommend a settlement. However, in some cases, filing a lawsuit is the best path forward if you want to be fairly compensated.
Scooter Accidents
Atlanta has seen a spike in scooter accidents for a variety of reasons. Often, accidents occur due to distracted driving on the part of the automobile or scooter driver. Distracted driving can also lead to scooter drivers colliding with innocent pedestrians. Failing to obey traffic laws can also lead to scooter accidents. Driving under the influence has also led to an increase in scooter accidents. When people drive under the influence on rented scooters, they can be sued by the accident victim, the scooter company, and more.
Motorists aren’t always responsible or scooter accidents. Accidents also occur due to poor-quality scooters. If you’ve been the victim of a scooter accident, you can file a personal injury claim to recover damages.

Do I have a case?
If you were injured in a scooter accident, you might have a case. You must meet the conditions of filing a personal injury claim in Georgia, including filing before the statute of limitations runs out. You also must prove that the other party was liable for the accident and that the accident was causally related to your injuries. A single mishap when filing a claim can derail your case. Consult with an experienced scooter accident attorney to evaluate the evidence and help you file a claim against the at-fault party.
How much is my case worth?
Your attorney must evaluate your situation before determining the amount you are eligible to collect in damages. When evaluating your claim, your attorney will consider your verifiable losses and other factors, such as the severity of your injury. Future expenses will also be considered when valuing your claim.
Our record illustrates our ability to help clients like you collect the damages that they deserve. We understand the “ins and outs” of personal injury cases and help clients collect both economic and noneconomic damages.
