How long do I have to file an e-scooter accident claim?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident. However, if a government entity is involved, shorter deadlines may apply.

Do I have a case if no car was involved?

Possibly. Claims can still exist if dangerous road conditions, defective equipment, or another party caused the crash.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

You may still have a case. Not wearing a helmet does not automatically prevent recovery, though it may be raised as part of the defense.

What compensation can I recover?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term impacts from the injury.

How do I pay for legal help?

We handle these cases on a contingency basis. That means you do not pay upfront — we are only paid if we recover compensation for you.

How is this different from a regular car accident case?

E-scooter cases often involve more complex liability and insurance issues, especially when multiple parties or non-vehicle causes are involved.

insightful. Helpful. On Point.
