Who Is Liable for Injuries I Sustained in a Clearwater, FL, Electric Scooter Accident?
As electric scooters have become more commonplace in Clearwater, the city passed an ordinance in 2019 to regulate their use. Despite this, they still present a danger to their operators, pedestrians, and others.
Getting full compensation for injuries you sustain in a Clearwater, Florida, electric scooter accident can be difficult. First, you have to establish who was at fault for the accident, then you have to be able to prove your damages.
Proving who is liable for your injuries involves a complicated analysis. An electric scooter operator has a duty to operate the scooter so as to reasonably protect others from harm. If they breach that duty and the breach caused your injuries, then the scooter operator was negligent.
However, the accident may have been caused by a problem with the electric scooter itself. The companies that make these scooters have a duty to design and manufacture their products so that they aren’t dangerously defective. If they create an unreasonable risk of injury, and this risk resulted in your injuries, the manufacturer could be liable.
Identifying who was responsible for your injuries and developing a legal strategy to maximize your compensation requires an experienced personal injury attorney. Perenich, Caulfield, Avril & Noyes Personal Injury Lawyers have been getting justice for accident victims for almost seven decades, and they can help you too.
What Damages Can I Recover in a Clearwater Electric Scooter Accident?
The average electric motor scooter has top speeds of up to 20 miles per hour and, on average, weighs around 30 pounds. They may seem harmless, but a negligent rider or defective scooter can inflict serious harm on unsuspecting victims.
Injuries from Clearwater electric scooter accidents vary wildly, but they can include head injuries, bone and skull fractures, and soft tissue injuries. Florida law allows you to recover different types of damages for different types of injuries.
Economic damages compensate you for any economic loss you suffered as a result of your injuries. They include but are not limited to:
- Your past and future medical expenses
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Physical therapy expenses
- Damage to your property
Because the accident may cause you emotional harm, you are also entitled to non-economic damages. They are meant to compensate you for intangible harm you suffer because of the accident, including your pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and other non-pecuniary losses.
In order to be made whole again, it’s critical that you understand all the different components of compensation to which you’re entitled. Perenich, Caulfield, Avril & Noyes Personal Injury Lawyers can help ensure that all of your damages will be accurately and fully accounted for.
