Scott Marshall Injury Attorneys

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.

The full impact of the crash

What a scooter crash
really costs you

Because a scooter leaves you so exposed, injuries are often serious, and the costs run well beyond the first hospital visit. When someone else’s carelessness caused it, Florida law lets you pursue:

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.

We build your claim around the true cost to you, not the quick figure an insurer would rather settle for.

You were not being reckless. You were getting around.

Riders often get treated as if the crash was their own fault for being on a scooter at all. That is not how the law works, and it is not fair to you. You were doing something completely ordinary when someone else’s carelessness, or a hazard nobody fixed, left you injured. On top of the recovery come the bills and the time off, and you should not carry that because of another party’s mistake. Our job is to take the legal fight off your plate so you can focus on healing.

Before you accept an offer

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.

More than one party may be responsible

A scooter claim is not as simple as it looks.
That is where we come in.

The reason scooter cases need a real lawyer is that the person who owes you is not always obvious. Depending on how you were hurt, responsibility can lie with more than one party, and each can be a source of the compensation you are owed.

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.

Scooter-share companies also put riders through user agreements designed to limit what you can claim. We know how to read past that, find every responsible party, and pursue the insurance behind each. Finding who really owes you is often the difference between a token offer and a full recovery.

Personal attention by design

You deserve a lawyer who treats your case
like it matters.

We are a boutique firm on purpose. Fewer clients, closer attention, and the same attorneys on your case from the first call to the last. You will not be handed to a case manager 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.

What recovery will require from here

The patterns we see most often

How the scooter crashes
we handle happen.

Most scooter injuries are not the rider’s fault, they trace back to a hazard or a careless driver. Whatever happened to you, the question we start with is the same: whose failure caused it, and how do we prove it?

Turning across your path

A driver turning across a rider’s path, or pulling out without looking.

Dooring collisions

A car door opened straight into a scooter’s lane.

Dangerous road conditions

Potholes, broken pavement or debris that a rider could not avoid.

Defective scooters

Brakes, throttle or steering that failed.

Sidewalk and crossing conflicts

Conflicts on sidewalks and crossings where scooters and traffic mix.

Scooter injuries across Florida
and especially South Florida.

Scooter injuries cluster where the rental programs run and the streets are busiest, which is why so many of these cases come out of South Florida. We help injured riders across Miami, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Hialeah, Kendall, Doral, Boca Raton, Delray Beach and West Palm Beach, and statewide in cities like Orlando, Tampa, Gainesville and Lakeland. Wherever you were riding in Florida, if a scooter crash left you hurt, we can help.

Protect your health and your claim

What if they say the crash was partly
my fault?

They often try that with scooter riders, and it does not end your claim. Florida lets you recover as long as you were not more than half at fault, with your share simply reducing the amount. Do not let the other side’s version become the final word. Let us look at what actually happened.

01 Get Medical Care.

Get checked even if adrenaline is masking the pain, because crash injuries often become clearer later.

02 Do Not Admit Fault Or Post Online.

Do not speculate about blame at the scene and avoid posting details, photos or opinions about the crash online.

03 Document The Scene.

If you can, photograph the vehicles and scene and collect the contact details of anyone who saw what happened.

04 Speak To Us Before The Insurer.

Do not give a recorded statement before you have advice, because early words can be twisted to reduce what you recover.

Your case should be judged on the complete evidence, not the insurer's first version of the crash.

Police records, test results, witness accounts and vehicle evidence can all matter when responsibility is challenged.

Before you accept an offer

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.

A quick offer is built around their cost, not your recovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Royce Haddad recommended Scott Marshall (and associates ) best thing ever. Scott and Yelena Garcia handled my case and were EXCELLENT !  Lawyer’s have a bad reputation but Scott and Yelena prove the doubters WRONG and they are the opposite !  Yelena cared about me as a client. Not just a dollar sign. Scott gave me his best professional advice that resulted in a better settlement. They DON’T force a person to settle. Also their referrals to other lawyers is good. No doubt I would recommend them to friends and family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The BEST firm you could go to. When I got into my car accident, Judi called me the same day and got me on track with treatment immediately. Scott called me personally within a week and let me know what the plan would be. Their communication was 10/10 and they made everything clear throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate Judi. She checked on me during treatment and kept me posted on everything. Highly recommend working with Judi and Scott. They made a difficult time a little easier, and I was very satisfied with my settlement.

Real questions. Direct answers.

Questions injured riders
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.
