Scooter Accidents in California
Scooter-related accidents have increased in cities like San Francisco, where riders often share roadways with cars. Intersections, such as Jackson St and Lyon St, can be particularly dangerous due to traffic congestion and limited visibility. Many scooter collisions occur due to driver inattention, failure to yield, or unsafe road conditions.
California law grants scooter riders the same rights as other motorists, meaning drivers must remain alert and share the road responsibly. Unfortunately, even when riders follow traffic laws, they can still fall victim to negligent drivers. Those injured in scooter accidents often suffer serious injuries, leading to medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. Seeking immediate medical attention and understanding available legal options can be crucial steps toward recovery.
