As cities embrace shared mobility and eco-friendly transport, bicycles and electric scooters have surged in popularity. But so have injuries. These lightweight, unprotected modes of transport expose riders to devastating harm when accidents happen.
Unlike vehicle occupants, bike and scooter riders lack any physical protection. Common injuries include:
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and long-term rehabilitation. In severe cases, victims may face permanent disability, emotional trauma, or loss of earning capacity. Insurance companies may try to downplay the severity, making it critical to document everything and seek legal representation early.
Depending on the circumstances, several parties may be responsible:
Under California law, riders have the same rights and duties as motor vehicles. Riders under 18 must wear helmets by law. However, not wearing a helmet doesn’t automatically bar recovery; it may simply reduce compensation under comparative fault rules.
