What to do After an Electric Scooter Accident?
If you or one of your family members have been recently affected by an accident involving an electric scooter is is important that you know that the reason why most personal injury law firms do not accept cases that involve electronic or motorized scooters offered by companies such as Lyft, Bird, Uber, Lime and many others is because Insurance companies typically deny these type of claims as “uncovered claims.” The reason insurance companies deny scooter claims is because they don’t consider electric Scooters to be a “motor vehicle,” which would be beyond the insurance coverage.
However, don’t get discouraged, at the Yadidi Law Firm; we have experience challenging the insurance companies by showing them the definition of “motor vehicle” under the California Insurance Code (Section 11580.06). Pursuant to this Insurance Code, scooters do actually fall under the category of “motor vehicle.”
Once we prove to the insurance companies that electric scooters are in fact considered “motor vehicles,” they immediately fold and inform us that the accident is covered under their policy. The personal injury lawyers at The Yadidi Law Firm are not afraid to stand up against the insurance companies who deny accident coverage solely because they involve a scooter.
If you or a family member has been involved in a scooter accident there are the steps that they need to follow:
- Immediately Call 911 or Local Police.
- Collect Evidence such as names, pictures, license plates.
- Get medical attention
- Call the Yadidi Law firm so that we can start fighting for your case.
