What to Do After a NYC Electric Scooter Accident
Scooter riders are more likely to be seriously injured in an accident than the people in the vehicle. If you are involved in a scooter accident, you should immediately call 911 informing and dispatching police as well as ambulances, if needed. You should always report the accident to the police, especially if there are injuries or property damage exceeding $1,000. Regardless of if you feel injured you should still be evaluated by a medical professional to ensure that you are not injured. You should exchange pertinent information with the other motorist such as name, contact information and insurance details while also getting the name and contact information of any witnesses. Take pictures or videos of the scene of the accident to help depict what happened.
Common Causes of Electric Scooter Accidents
Some of the most common accidents are easily avoidable, such as failing to yield at intersections. Scooters are significantly smaller than vehicles and may be overlooked at intersections when a motorist may not stop and end up hitting the scooter. If a driver is distracted for any reason, they are much more likely to overlook a scooter and cause an accident.
Types of Injuries
- Injuries involving E-scooters can range from slight injuries to even death.
- Some of the common injuries are broken or fractured bones, internal injuries due to impact, lacerations requiring stitches, cuts or bruises and head injuries in which the severity will fluctuate with each accident.
- Head injuries can occasionally lead to traumatic brain injuries.
