Representing Burlington Scooter & Moped Injury Cases
With the average cost of a new car tipping in at over $33,000, many Burlington residents are seeking more affordable types of transportation. One cost-effective solution is scooters, mopeds, and even Segways. But unfortunately, due to the size of these vehicles and the lack of protections that they offer to riders, riders tend to suffer serious injuries (including injuries to the head, neck and back) in the event of an accident.

Causes of Accidents
Scooters, mopeds, and Segways are great for a short trip and are very economical to operate. But they do represent certain risks for riders. Not only are these modes of transportation much smaller and harder to see than other vehicles on the road, they are also much quieter. Common causes of accidents involving a scooter, moped, or Segway include:
- Distracted drivers
- Impaired drivers
- Speeding drivers
- Drivers not seeing the moped, scooter, or Segway when turning
- Drivers who follow too closely
- Roadway hazards, such as debris, potholes, or uneven road surfaces
Drivers are not always as careful or diligent as they should be about looking out for smaller vehicles that share the streets, even if a rider is doing everything right.
We've offered crucial support and guidance to individuals who have suffered injuries, ensuring their financial and emotional well-being.
In the Event of a Scooter Accident
As with any collision, the first priority is getting medical care for anyone who sustained injuries – most likely the rider. If you are injured, remain as still as possible until emergency medical services arrive. Even if you believe that your injuries are minor, it is important to get a medical evaluation. Be sure to keep copies of all of the medical records that pertain to your injuries from the accident. These will be important when you are ready to file a claim against the party who was at fault for the accident.
You will want to speak to a legal professional as soon as possible after the accident. Having the details of the crash fresh in your mind can be helpful when relating the incident to a Burlington moped accident attorney, who can then go to the scene and conduct a thorough investigation. Your attorney will also be able to explain the process for recovering any compensation that is owed to you.
You could possibly be eligible to request compensation for:
- Lost earnings
- Medical costs related to the accident
- Future medical bills for continued treatment
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Damage to your vehicle
