Electric Scooter Cases

Bird and Lime (Electric Brand) scooters can be effective ways to get from Point A to Point B around town. But, unfortunately, significant injuries—including traumatic brain injury and death--can be sustained on these scooters, especially since they are moving in the flow of vehicular traffic.

The way GCL views electric scooter injury is unique. We see significant defects in the maintenance and care of these scooters. A corporation making independent contractors (with no training and no expertise) responsible for the charging and maintenance of their scooters opens the corporation to charges of gross negligence.

If you are a pedestrian injured by a rented electric scooter, various venues exist to recoup damages—underinsured motorist coverage, rental car insurance, homeowner’s insurance... But the trick is knowing exactly which venue holds the most promise, based on the facts of the case. Don’t try to navigate this legal terrain alone. You need lawyers you can trust to return the best result for you.
