Stephen Ollar addresses the importance of investigating all available insurance coverage, a critical issue in e-scooter cases where most standard auto policies do not apply and coverage gaps leave victims exposed. Video Transcript **Allan Siegel (00:02):** We are a personal injury law firm. That is the only type of work that this law firm does. If you were injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence, then that’s a case that we would handle. So what does that include? Car crash cases. It includes bicycle crash cases, scooter cases, pedestrian accident cases, truck crash cases. It includes bus cases, all of those things, but it also includes situations where you might be hurt on somebody else’s premises. For example, maybe you were hurt at a business, maybe you slipped and fell because they didn’t maintain their floor in a safe condition. **Ira Sherman (00:40):** The insurance company knows that we are aggressive, we are creative. We have the funds to fund a case and hire experts, and as a result, they distinguish us in a category of law firms that they need to know and do know that we can take the case from day one all the way through trial successfully. **Stephen Ollar (01:05):** Insurance is an important factor, not just the insurance coverage on the vehicle that struck you, but also if you have additional insurance coverage that may compensate you if you have very serious injuries. The degree of your injury is important. **Joseph Cammarata (01:21):** Our approach is victim oriented in the sense that we are concerned for the wellbeing of our clients. We do everything to better their lot in life. A person that’s injured in a crash or bike accidents or pedestrian accidents, their life typically gets turned upside down. And we try to right that balance. **Allan Siegel (01:57):** If you’ve been injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence or as a result of somebody else’s intentional act, that’s a case that we would handle and that’s a case that you should call us to consult with us on. ![Spin Scooter Accident Lawyer Washington DC, e-scooter, personal injury lawyer](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/yQGTELB3kXuq5FxyTbLkPWqM1vvdT9Y9ZIawszOOn0zpJy9qEhLIGP9oDpbrI3PRIQJFEN0y90iagajGtFn-uUKbJJuAkPS4pq8JEyHAWryR9N7AksKf52lYgR_5TaP-8piA5DBxuk1p33H2) The number of electric scooter companies has significantly increased in recent years. E-scooters have become a popular mode of transportation in cities across the globe due to their low cost and lack of emissions. However, these scooters can also be dangerous. According to a[ 2018 study](https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Health/Epidemiology/APH%5FDockless%5FElectric%5FScooter%5FStudy%5F5-2-19.pdf) by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Departments of Health and Public Transportation of the City of Austin, from September 2018 through November 2018, 20 people were injured for every 100,000 e-scooter rides. Most of these accidents involved [collisions with motor vehicles.](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/) However, there have also been reports of riders being injured after hitting a curb or inanimate object such as a light pole. If you have been injured in a Spin scooter accident, you may be [entitled to compensation](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/scooter-accidents/).

Contact us today to schedule a free consultation with one of our attorneys! We know what it takes to win these cases and will fight hard on your behalf. ## How Do Spin Electric Scooters Work? [Spin scooters](https://www.spin.app/) use GPS to track their scooters’ location and lock them when they are not used. Riders unlock the scooters using the Spin app on their smartphone. To start riding, riders must first check that the brakes are working correctly. Riders simply lean forward and apply pressure to the accelerator with their foot to speed up. To slow down or stop, they stand upright and use the handbrake. They then step on the scooter’s deck, which activates the motor. ## Most Common Injuries Associated with Spin E-Scooter Accidents The [most common injuries](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/blog/2018/11/electric-scooter-injuries-on-the-rise-around-the-nation/) associated with Spin e-scooter accidents include fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and lacerations. * Fractures are one of the more serious injuries common in scooter accidents. They often require a lengthy recovery period. * [Traumatic brain injuries](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/brain-injuries/causes/), including [concussions](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/brain-injuries/concussions/ "concussions"), are also quite serious and can lead to long-term problems, especially if not properly treated. * Lacerations can be painful, dangerous, and require medical attention. If you have been injured in a Spin scooter accident, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately. ## Common Causes of a Spin Electric Scooter Accident Many different factors can contribute to a Spin electric scooter accident. One of the most common causes of these accidents is rider error. This is common for scooter riders who are not familiar with operating scooters or who do not follow the [proper safety procedures](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/scooter-accidents/electric-scooter-safety-tips/). Other common causes of Spin scooter accidents include defective parts, poorly maintained scooters, and roads or sidewalks in disrepair. In some cases, accidents are caused by other people’s negligence, such as drivers who fail to yield to riders. ![Businessman on e-scooter in the city .](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/iStock-1216231532-1024x683.jpg) ## What Should I Do If I’ve Been Injured in a Spin Scooter Accident? If you have been [injured in a Spin scooter accident](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/scooter-accidents/what-to-do-after-an-electric-scooter-accident-in-washington-dc/), the first thing you should do is seek medical attention.

A [lawyer](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/blog/2013/12/why-do-i-need-a-personal-injury-lawyer/) can help you obtain the compensation you need to cover these costs. A lawyer will also handle all the legal aspects of your case so that you can focus on your recovery. ## Spin Scooter Safety Tips * To prevent serious injury, wearing a helmet while you ride is important. * You should also avoid riding in areas with heavy traffic or bad weather conditions. If you must ride in these conditions, be extra careful and go slowly. * When you [park your scooter](https://ddot.dc.gov/release/dc-law-now-requires-riders-lock-shared-electric-scooters-bike-racks-scooter-corrals-or), be mindful of pedestrians and others who may have difficulties with vision or mobility. Avoid blocking sidewalks, access ramps, doorways, and bus stops. * Don’t ride distracted. Look ahead of you, not down at the wheels or your phone, and watch for turning cars, especially at driveways and [intersections](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/intersections/ "intersections"). * Do not ride with passengers or packages. * Do not ride while under the [influence of drugs or alcohol.](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/drunk-driving-accidents/) ## Hire an E-Scooter Accident Attorney ![electric scooter on the roadway](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/iStock-1402727740-1024x683.jpg) The Washington, D.C. e-scooter accident lawyers with Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. have a proven track record of success in helping clients obtain the maximum compensation possible for injuries they have suffered due to the negligence of others.

We will fight tirelessly to help you obtain the compensation you need to move forward with your life. ## Who is Responsible for Damages in a Scooter Accident? The responsible party in a scooter accident will generally be the one who caused the accident. The [manufacturer](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/personal-injury/personal-injury/product-liability/) may be held liable if the accident was caused by a defective scooter. If poor road conditions caused the accident, the city or municipality responsible for maintaining the roads might be held liable. ## What If I Am Partially At Fault for the Accident? In Washington DC, when a vulnerable user of the roadway such as an electric scooter rider (or pedestrian or bicyclist) is partly at fault for an accident in which they were injured, they can still recover 100% of their damages if they were no more than 50% at fault for the collision. This is the law under [D.C.’s Vulnerable User Recovery Act,](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/bicycle-accidents/washington-dc-vulnerable-user-recovery-act-of-2020/) which protects vulnerable road users who are in motor vehicle accidents. For example, if a rider makes a [left turn](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/what-makes-left-turns-dangerous/) at an intersection without yielding the right of way to an oncoming car, the rider may be considered partially responsible for the accident. Under the Vulnerable User Recovery Act, the rider would still be able to recover compensation, as long as they are not more than 50% at fault. ![electric scooter moving fast in the city](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/iStock-1176515434-1024x768.jpg) ## Compensation For Spin Electric Scooter Accidents If you have been injured in a Spin scooter accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages.
