Hurt on an e-scooter in Florida? A scooter accident lawyer who knows who really owes you.
Electric scooters are everywhere in Florida now, from the rental racks in Miami and Fort Lauderdale to college towns and tourist strips. They are fun and convenient, and they are also dangerous: no seatbelt, no airbag, and almost nothing between you and the road when a driver is not paying attention. If you were hurt on a scooter, our Florida scooter accident lawyers will explain who is actually responsible and fight to recover what the crash has cost you. We handle electric scooter and e-bike injury claims too.
What a scooter crash
really costs you
Medical bills
Current medical bills and the care you will still need.
Lost wages and earning power
Wages lost while you could not work, and future earning power.
Pain and emotional toll
The physical pain and the emotional toll of the crash.
Long-term effects
Long-term or permanent effects where the injury is lasting.
Remember whose side the insurance company is on.
Insurance companies are not in business to pay out claims, and scooter cases are new enough that they will often argue the rider was to blame, or that no one is really responsible.
They may offer a small, fast settlement before your injuries fully reveal themselves. Once you sign, that door closes for good. We deal with the insurer for you, identify every source of coverage, and make sure the true cost of the crash is on the table.
A quick offer is built around their cost, not your recovery.
The true value of a claim cannot be known until the medical, financial and personal consequences are understood. Do not sign away future compensation before you understand what the crash may continue to cost you.
A scooter claim is not as simple as it looks. That is where we come in.
01
The driver who hit you
If they turned across your path, opened a door, or simply were not looking.
02
The scooter-share company
Its app agreements and safety practices deserve a close look.
03
The scooter manufacturer
If a defective brake, throttle or battery caused or worsened the crash.
04
A city or property owner
If a pothole, broken pavement or hazard on the road played a part.
You deserve a lawyer who treats your case like it matters.
We are a boutique firm on purpose. That means fewer clients, closer attention, and the same attorneys on your case from the first call to the last. You will never be passed around or left wondering what is happening. And it costs you nothing to find out where you stand, because you pay no fee unless we win. For our clients, that is the difference between feeling like a file number and feeling genuinely looked after.
Direct, focused representation from start to finish.
Your case stays close to the attorneys responsible for the strategy, the communication and the result.

How the scooter crashes we handle happen.

Defective scooters
Brakes, throttle or steering that failed.
Sidewalk and crossing conflicts

In their words.
Scott coached me on my role in the different parts of the process. They were consistently professional, helpful, very knowledgeable about Florida bicycle law and quite effective. I can’t imagine a better organization to work with!
My injury left me without the tools I once had to live a normal life. At every point that I felt like I had lost, they inspired me to keep pushing. They fought until I was given back what was rightfully mine.

Questions injured Drivers
ask us.
The answers below are a starting point. A free case review gives you guidance based on your own crash, injuries and available insurance.
Who is responsible for my scooter accident?
It depends on how you were hurt. It can be the driver who hit you, the scooter-share company, the maker of a defective scooter, or a city that left the road in a dangerous state. We investigate to find everyone who shares the blame.
I signed the scooter app's terms. Can I still claim?
Very possibly, yes. Those agreements try to limit claims, but they do not erase your rights, especially where a driver, a defect or a road hazard caused your injury. Let us read the fine print for you.
Does this cover electric bikes too?
Yes. We handle e-scooter and e-bike injury claims on the same basis, finding who was responsible and pursuing the full cost of your injuries.
What will it cost me to hire you?
Nothing up front, and no fee unless we win. The first conversation is free, so there is no risk in finding out where you stand.
