What Causes Electric Scooter Accidents in Dallas?

Tourists frequently use e-scooters to get around Dallas and avoid dense traffic in populated areas. However, they are not always a safe means of transportation. Because they exist right next to large vehicles driving down the roadway or even on sidewalks that make quick stops a must, escooters can be particularly dangerous to operate. Additionally, little to no training is given to scooter drivers before they take off down the road.

Ultimately, though, human error is responsible for electric scooter accidents in Dallas, TX. This includes:

  • Drug and alcohol use
  • Distracted driving
  • Fatigued driving
  • Speeding
  • Failing to yield to traffic signals
  • E-scooter malfunction
  • Road problems

What Kind of Compensation Can You Pursue from An Electric Scooter Crash?

If you were involved in an electronic scooter crash caused by someone else’s negligence, there are multiple types of compensation you can pursue, including:

  • Property damage. The cost to repair your helmet, scooter, clothing, cell phone, or any other personal item can be considered property damage.
  • Pain and suffering. If you experienced a physical injury, you can seek compensation for physical discomfort and emotional distress due to the injuries sustained.
  • Recovery of lost income. If your accident or injuries prevent you from working temporarily or permanently, you can seek compensation for lost wages.
  • Reimbursement for medical expenses caused by the accident and injuries.
  • Wrongful death if a fatality occurred.
  • Compensation for loss of enjoyment of life. You can seek compensation if your injuries restrict your mobility or quality of life.

In addition to the above, you may also seek punitive damages if your case involves gross negligence, such as that of a drunk driver.
