Scooter Accident Lawyer Cleveland Ohio

Electric scooters offer quick, easy, and affordable travel options to both residents and visitors in Cleveland. Electric scooters are operated through scooter-sharing systems that offer transportation services to users through short-term rentals. As a result, electric scooters have become a common sight in large cities. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there are now 300 electric scooter systems throughout the country.

But with growing popularity comes growing concerns over electric scooter operations. Electric scooter systems returned to Cleveland in 2020 after new rules were implemented by Mayor Frank Jackson’s administration that addressed new speed limits and time periods that scooters could be ridden. Cleveland’s City Planning Commission also provides additional information on how electric scooters and bikes can be operated in the city.

Even with additional regulations and guidelines, accidents do still happen. Riders, pedestrians, and other motorists can all be injured in scooter accidents. If you have been hurt in a scooter accident through no fault of your own, you may be eligible to pursue damages with a Toledo personal injury claim.

The Friedmann Firm is here to assist you in the aftermath of a scooter accident. Founded in 2012, our firm has been successfully representing clients in Cleveland and throughout Ohio. With over 1,000+ resolved cases, our team of attorneys approaches each case with compassion, care, and an aggressive representation style.

We work with individuals who have been hurt due to another’s negligent actions – whether they were entirely accidental or intentional. Should we take on your case, our scooter accident lawyers in Cleveland, Ohio will ensure you understand your rights and work to obtain the maximum amount of compensation available to you.

How Can an Attorney Help Following a Scooter Accident?

Following an accident, you should be able to focus completely on your recovery instead of navigating the legal system as you file a personal injury claim. This is why working with a scooter injury lawyer in Cleveland, Ohio can be especially important after an accident. There are several key reasons we recommend working with one of our lawyers including the following:

We will answer any questions that you may have at any point in the legal process. This includes our initial consultation, the filing process, and after your claim has been filed.
We will work to gather all pertinent evidence for your case. Relevant evidence will include medical reports of your injuries, eyewitness testimony, photos and videos from the scene of the accident, and other relevant documentation.
We will work to ensure that all deadlines related to your case are met and that your claim is filed properly.
We will handle negotiations with insurance companies. Insurance companies may represent the scooter rental company or the at-fault party in your claim. We will negotiate with them to ensure that your injuries and all associated losses are included in your claim.

Working with an experienced scooter accident attorney in Cleveland, Ohio allows you to focus on your recovery and provides you with excellent legal representation – especially as the laws and regulations around electric scooters continue to change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some common injuries from electric scooter accidents?

Electric scooters are much smaller than other motorized mobility devices, but they can still average speeds of 15 to 30 miles. That type of speed can leave someone with a number of injuries that range from minor to severe.

Some common injuries that you can receive from an electric scooter accident include:

Spinal cord injuries	Sprains, strains, cuts, and bruises
Broken and fractured bones	Soft tissue injuries (ankles, elbows, wrists, etc.)
Head injuries like concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI)	Dislocated limbs

Be sure to seek medical attention after being involved in a scooter accident, whether you were hit by a scooter or you tripped over a parked scooter. You might have injuries that are not as visible as something like a dislocated arm or cuts that require attention.

What should I do after a scooter accident?

Following an accident, stay at the scene and seek medical attention as soon as possible. After that, you’ll want also to:

File a police report.
Collect evidence like photos and videos at the scene of the accident if it’s safe to do so.
Gather contact information for any eyewitnesses.
Contact a scooter accident lawyer in Cleveland, Ohio.

Determining who is at fault for a scooter accident can be more complicated than you might expect, especially depending on the details of your accident. Our attorneys can help you determine the possible liable parties, including the scooter rider, the scooter rental company, the driver of a car or truck, or even the city as they are responsible for road maintenance.

How much will my case be worth?

There is no general range we can provide you with about how much your case may be worth. Each personal injury claim’s worth will be determined based on a number of different factors that are unique to each situation.

Factors that will be used to determine a case’s worth will include:

Your injuries, including the kind of injuries and their severity
Your medical expenses
Lost income
Details of the accident

Insurance companies may also try to offer you a low, initial settlement offer that may not address all of your damages from the accident in an effort to close a claim quickly. We suggest working with one of our scooter accident attorneys in Cleveland, Ohio, as we will work to ensure that all of your damages are covered in any settlement offer.

Rachel and the Friedmann Firm were fantastic to work with. The thought of needing an employment lawyer was scary for me, it was confusing and complex. But Rachel listened, asked questions and took time to really understand me and my priorities. I felt calm, supported and excited for the first time in weeks after talking to her!! We worked together to review everything, set expectations and meet my priorities! Thanks Rachel and team for all your work!!!

Rachel Friedmann of the Friedman Firm was my attorney for a very recent legal matter. I would highly recommend Rachel based on her legal knowledge, her honest appraisal of the matter and expected outcomes, her open communication and timely responses to my questions and the matter itself, and her steadfastness in dealing with the opposing counsel until a final agreement was reached.

Rachel and her staff went over and above the call of duty to help me achieve fiscal resolution to my legal issue. She wasn’t always available to talk but was always responsive via text and email when in court out of the office and even on vacation. I feel she earned her percentage cut.

The Friedmann Firm (specifically Pete Friedmann) represented me through what seemed like a never ending employment discrimination suit. The suit was filed just before Covid shut everything down in 2020. Add to that a former employer who refused to admit fault. In spite of all of that, Pete stood resolute in his representation of me and working for the best outcome for me. We ended up settling prior to trial and I was more than satisfied with the results. Pete was always available to answer questions and reassure me throughout this process.
I highly recommend The Friedmann Firm!

Pete Friedmann and his firm are fantastic. He represented me for more than a year going through a suit with a previous employer. He walked me through every step of the process and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. My settlement came in and we parted ways with both sides being pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend the Friedmann firm and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future if the need arose. Thank you, Pete!
