Electric scooters have made a major impact on cities throughout the United States, including Denver, Colorado. Companies such as Bird and Lime have fleets of thousands of rentable electric scooters now available to the public. Unfortunately, riding an electric scooter through Denver is not the safest method of transportation. Drivers may not see scooters, for example, which can lead to devastating accidents.
If you or someone you love has sustained a serious injury in a scooter accident in Denver, contact Manning Law for a free case review. You may be able to recover financial compensation from one or more parties.
Electric scooters that are available to rent can travel at top speeds of 20 miles per hour. Crashing a scooter at this speed could inflict severe injuries on a rider, even if no other vehicles are involved. If a scooter gets hit by a motor vehicle, the rider can suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries – including crush injuries if the rider gets pulled beneath the car.
Common injuries suffered in scooter accidents include:
