Scooter and Pedestrian Accidents in New York
Collisions involving scooters and motor vehicles are becoming increasingly common in New York, particularly in areas with high traffic volumes. Electric scooters provide a convenient mode of transportation but also come with significant risks, especially at intersections or areas with heavy vehicular movement.
Drivers must remain vigilant and yield to smaller vehicles such as scooters and bicycles, particularly when making turns or crossing busy roads. Additionally, scooter riders should always wear protective gear, remain visible to motorists, and exercise caution when navigating intersections.
When accidents result in serious injuries, victims may face overwhelming medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and time away from work. In such cases, legal options may be available to pursue compensation for damages caused by another party’s negligence.
