Immediate Action & Why You Can Claim
As a vulnerable road user, being involved in an accident on an e-scooter can lead to serious injuries, including fractures and head trauma. If your injury was caused by another party's negligence or a product defect, you are entitled to pursue compensation for your pain, recovery costs, and associated losses.
At Dorians Solicitors, our goal is simple: to handle the complex legal fight so you can focus entirely on your recovery. We provide clear, factual advice and support through every step.
The Legal Duty: Navigating Evolving Regulations
E-scooter claims are complex due to the varying legal status of private and hire-scheme scooters and uncertain insurance policies. We help you claim where the injury was caused by:
Collision with another negligent road user (car, bus, or pedestrian).
Defective or poorly maintained hire-scheme scooters.
Dangerous or defective public roads or cycle paths.
Crucial Evidence: Protect Your Claim
The evidence you gather immediately following an accident is vital to proving your case, especially given the new nature of these claims. We strongly advise you to:
Secure negligent driver’s details and make, model and registration of the vehicle.
Record Identification
Note the registration or fleet number of any hire scooter involved.
Seek Medical Help
Attend your GP or A&E immediately. Medical records linking the injury to the accident are essential for valuation.
Document Everything
Take clear photographs of the scene, any road defect, and the E-scooter itself (noting any visible defect).
Preserve Data
Keep any ride logs, GPS data, or rental receipts relating to the incident.
