Highly Experienced Florida Scooter Accident Lawyer
Particularly for young adults and college students on Florida’s campuses, scooters have become an increasingly popular way to get around in recent years due to their fuel-efficiency, affordability, and ease to park. Unfortunately, riding a scooter does not afford the same protection as riding in an enclosed car wearing a seat belt, surrounded by a metal frame and airbags. Wearing a helmet somewhat protects scooter riders, but their use is not required by law, leading to a high risk of sustaining injuries or even dying when collisions with careless drivers occur. If you’ve experienced serious injuries from a scooter accident, contact the Florida scooter accident attorneys at Meldon Law as soon as possible.
Scooter Risk and Injuries
Scooter safety components such as brakes and turn signals allow these modes of transportation to be ridden on the open road. But, scooters are smaller and not as easily seen as regular-sized vehicles. Coupled with a greater number of drivers on the road, particularly during heavy traffic times, this makes scooter accidents all too common an occurrence.
When accidents happen between standard vehicles and scooters, the following injuries can occur:
- Brain damage
- Broken bones
- Concussion
- Lacerations
- Neck and spinal injuries
- Paralysis
- Paraplegia
