Finding the liable party in e-scooter accidents can depend on who or what caused the accident.
E-scooter company: The rental company could be held liable if the rider suffered from injuries caused by things like loose handlebars or faulty equipment.
Manufacturer: If the accident was caused by malfunctioning scooter software or parts, the manufacturer could be held liable for damages. The manufacturer could also be held liable if the scooter had a mechanical failure.
Drivers: Negligent drivers can cause accidents when they are distracted, fatigued, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If injuries from a scooter accident were caused by driver negligence, the driver would be held liable.
Commercial property owner: If the accident was caused because a property owner failed to remove hazards, debris, and other dangerous items from their premises, they could be held liable.
City government: If hazardous roadways or sidewalks caused your e-scooter accident, the city government could be held responsible.
