Scooter Accident Lawyer in Florida
What Are Scooters and E-Scooters?
An e-scooter (electric or motorized scooter) is similar in shape to a standard scooter, with two wheels and a flat bottom, but it uses an electric motor to propel it forward. Most e-scooters go at a speed of 15-25 mph.
Because of their convenience, e-scooters have exponentially grown in popularity, especially in big Florida cities. Today, several scooter rental companies exist in these cities, including:
- Bird
- Jump
- Lime/Uber
- Lyft
- Skip
- Spin
With this increase in e-scooter usage, accidents have also become more common. If you’ve been involved in an e-scooter accident, it may be beneficial to consult a scooter accident lawyer to understand your rights and potential claims.
Scooter Regulations in Florida
Florida Statute 316.2128 details the requirements for micro-mobility devices, motorized scooters, and miniature motorcycles.
This law states:
- A motorized scooter or micro-mobility device does not need to satisfy the registration and insurance requirements of Statute 320.02 or the licensing requirements of Statute 316.605.
- A person does not need a driver’s license to operate a motorized scooter or micro-mobility device.
Scooter User Liability and Agreements
Each scooter manufacturer has its own liability and agreement terms that users agree to when they purchase an e-scooter. This prevents motorists from holding an e-scooter company liable in an accident.
Some of the agreements the rider agrees to may include:
- Must assess the scooter to ensure it’s safe to ride before each use
- Must be competent and physically fit enough to operate and ride an e-scooter
- Must follow local traffic laws
