Common Causes of Scooter Crashes

Most scooter wrecks happen for predictable reasons. Knowing the cause is the first step to identifying the at-fault party.

1

Driver Inattention

Most common cause — drivers fail to see scooters in their blind spot or at intersections.

2

Failure to Yield

Drivers turning left or pulling out of side streets without looking for scooters.

3

Speeding / Distracted

Rear-ends and side-swipes from drivers going too fast or texting.

4

Road Hazards

Potholes, debris, poor signage — sometimes the city or DOT is liable.

Why drivers don’t see scooters: Smaller profile, lower height, lane positioning. Insurance companies use this to blame the rider — we counter with crash physics, witness statements, and traffic-cam footage.
Statute of Limitations

Don’t Wait. Evidence Disappears.

Skid marks fade in days. Cam footage gets overwritten. Witnesses move. Acting fast wins cases.

2 yrs

Georgia’s general personal-injury deadline

Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, most personal-injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury. Government-vehicle cases have shorter deadlines.

Proof

How We Prove a Scooter Crash Case

Every scooter case is a negligence case. We establish the four elements and stack every available policy.

1

Duty

A legal obligation to act safely was owed to the decedent.

2

Breach

That duty was violated by the defendant’s conduct.

3

Causation

The breach directly caused the death.

4

Damages

The family and estate suffered real, measurable losses.

Comparative fault: Under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover if you were less than 50% at fault. Insurance companies fight to inflate your fault percentage — we fight back.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

I was hit on my motor scooter. What do I do first?+

Get to safety, call 911, accept medical attention even if you “feel okay” — adrenaline masks injuries. Then call us before talking to any insurance company.

Will the insurance company say it’s my fault?+

Probably yes. Insurance companies routinely blame scooter and motorcycle riders. We use crash reconstruction, witness statements, and traffic-cam footage to prove driver negligence.

What’s the filing deadline?+

Generally two years from the date of the crash under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Cases against government entities have shorter deadlines — sometimes 6 months.

What if I was partially at fault?+

As long as you were less than 50% at fault, you can still recover. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Does it cost anything to speak with you?+

No. Consultations are free and we only charge a 25% contingency fee if we recover on your behalf.

Hit on Your Scooter? Don’t Let Insurance Blame You.
