Protecting South Florida Scooter Riders On The Move
Scooters are a fun and convenient way to get around town, but they can also be dangerous, especially when riders are sharing the road with larger vehicles. If you’ve been injured in a scooter accident, then you’re likely facing medical bills and lost wages and wondering what to do next. At 24/7 Injury Law, we understand the unique challenges that scooter riders face in Boynton Beach. We are knowledgeable attorneys who have decades of combined experience helping injured scooter riders throughout Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties as well as across Florida.
Common Scooter Accident Scenarios
Scooter accidents can happen anywhere, but they’re most common in busy intersections and areas with heavy traffic. Here are some typical scenarios:
- Left-turn accidents: Car drivers often fail to see or misjudge the distance of a scooter when turning left.
- Dooring accidents: A car door opens unexpectedly into the path of a scooter rider.
- Rear-end collisions: Careless or distracted drivers often hit scooter riders from behind.
While we can’t control the actions of other drivers, there are steps that scooter riders can take to stay safe:
- Always wear a helmet: A helmet is your best defense against a head injury in an accident.
- Be visible: Wear bright clothing and reflective gear, especially at night.
- Ride defensively: Assume other drivers don’t see you and avoid weaving in and out of traffic.
- Follow the rules of the road: Obey traffic signals and ride with the flow of traffic.
