Scooter and Vehicle Accidents in Florida
Collisions involving scooters and larger vehicles like SUVs often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protection for scooter riders. Urban areas such as Miami see a high number of these incidents, particularly at busy intersections or high-traffic roads.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), scooter accidents have been on the rise in recent years. Many of these crashes are caused by factors such as driver inattention, failure to yield, or unsafe lane changes. Due to the size and weight difference between scooters and larger vehicles, riders are at a greater risk of suffering severe or life-threatening injuries.
For those injured in a scooter accident, seeking immediate medical attention is critical. Additionally, understanding legal rights can help victims recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Consulting with a legal professional can provide clarity on the next steps after an accident.
