Hi! My name is Sam, and I started this blog to help other injured people. Before you start reading, let me tell you a little about myself. Ten years ago, I slipped on a slice of fruit in a grocery store. My leg slid out from under me, and in a freak twist, it was rendered useless. I could no longer work and struggled with intense pain every day. Luckily, I found an accident and injury attorney who was able to get me the compensation I needed to cover my medical bills and my lost time at work. However, while I waited for the settlement to come through, I had to get creative physically and financially. This blog is dedicated to anyone who is in that limbo position. I hope the posts here help you decide what to do while you wait for the results of your trial.
There are many companies that offer scooter rentals for anyone who wants an easy and fun way to get around the city. However, scooters do not offer a lot of protection especially when the rider is hit by a car or when the scooter is defective. If your loved one passed away while riding a scooter, you'll need help from a wrongful death attorney as you get to the bottom of who was negligent and why your loved one passed away.
Negligence from the Scooter Companies
Some scooter companies have set up their businesses without permission. As a result, the scooters have been implemented in a manner that is very hectic. Some of the scooters have also been used in incidents of civil unrest. The batteries can easily cause a fire. If your loved one passed away as a result of an accident involving a scooter, you may be able to sue the scooter company for how the scooter is implemented.
Motorists
Oftentimes, customers hop on a scooter and do not know how to ride on it safely. Therefore, the rider might not operate the scooter safely or may drive in the street when this is a bad idea. However, if your loved one is struck and killed by a car while riding a scooter, you'll need to prove that the motorist showed negligence.
After the accident, you'll want to arrive and make sure that your loved one receives medical attention. You'll want to obtain contact information from all the affected parties and any witnesses who observed the accident. Photograph the scene of the accident and any damage that was suffered by both the scooter and the car and take notes.
In some cases, the motorist will be at fault for the accident no matter what the circumstances. For example, if the motorist becomes distracted and drives up on a curb, they may be responsible.
Wrongful Death Legal Representation
Depending on the relationship that you have with the deceased, you may be able to seek compensation for the death of your loved one. For example, if you are a parent, spouse, or child of the deceased, you would be entitled to compensation if your wrongful death attorney is able to prove that the other party was negligent. Even if you don't have an eligible relationship as defined by the state, you may receive compensation if you are in the will of the deceased.
Reach out to a wrongful death lawyer to see if you have a case.
