Scooter and Moped Accidents
In Florida, many people elect to drive electric scooters and mopeds rather than a traditional vehicle. They are easy to park, they get good gas mileage, and they are fun to drive. Unfortunately, they can also be dangerous. Distracted drivers make poor choices. If you were hit on a scooter or moped, consult with an experienced lawyer. Whether you were driving a scooter or a passenger on one, our attorneys will talk you through your legal rights after an accident.
Bird, Lime, Veo, and Razor Scooter Injuries
Electric scooter sharing is a new take on ride sharing. Similar to the old-school Razor scooters, Lime, Bird, and similar scooter companies have hit cities across the nation, offering an affordable way to get around town. In fact, downtown Tampa is one of the next cities expected to test an electric scooter sharing pilot program. However, there are risks associated with these programs.
A Fort Lauderdale mother has sued Lime after her daughter was severely injured on a Lime Scooter. She says the scooter’s app clearly instructs people not to drive on local sidewalks, thus pushing them onto the street. However, Florida law states operating scooters on the street is illegal. Unfortunately, the rider was following Lime’s instructions and was hit by a car and gravely injured. An attorney for the family states that scooter riders are not only getting hit by cars, but they are also hitting pedestrians by following Lime’s instructions.
Other riders claim their Lime scooters have caught fire and even broken in half. Were you injured on a Bird scooter, Lime scooter, or other electric scooter? Consider consulting with a lawyer who specializes in personal injury law in Florida.
Scooters Arrive in St. Petersburg As of October 2020, downtown St. Pete now has scooters available to rent. As part of a pilot program for the city, riders can pick up an electric VeoRide or Razor scooter at one of 100 corrals. Generally it costs around $0.30 per minute to operate the scooter, and $1 to unlock the ride. Our hope is that downtown drivers will be vigilant in looking out for scooter riders. Likewise, riders must be aware of their surroundings.

Common Causes of Bike Accidents
Since bicyclists are at an increased risk of injury in an accident, it is important to understand the main causes of these incidents. Even the most safety-conscious bicyclists can be involved in a bike accident. These accidents are often the result of negligence on the part of the motor vehicle owner. Some of the most common factors that contribute to a bike accident are:
- Distracted driving
- Driving while intoxicated
- Failing to leave enough space for cyclists
- Reckless driving
- Changing lanes without checking for cyclists
- Turning without looking in both directions
- Ignoring traffic control devices
- Failing to yield
- Fatigue (driving without enough sleep)
- Carelessly drifting into the bike lane
- Not sharing the road
