Scooter and Moped Accidents

Scooters and mopeds are a convenient way to get around with great gas mileage, but easier mobility, parking and fuel efficiency comes at a high cost- risk of injury. Compared to a car or truck, much of a scooter/moped driver’s body is exposed to the open air rather than being secured inside of a metal vehicle surrounding the individual. This puts moped/scooter drivers at a much higher risk of injury or even death in the event of a collision. Mopeds and scooters have been increasing in popularity on college campuses such as Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and Ft. Lauderdale, the University of Florida in Gainesville and Florida State University in Tallahassee, and accidents are frequent. Although helmets reduce the risk of serious to fatal head injury by 72%, our Fort Lauderdale scooter accident lawyers know that other injuries can still be sustained when careless drivers strike scooters and mopeds with their vehicle.

Risk Awareness

Florida drivers need to be especially cautious and aware of smaller vehicles like mopeds and scooters because of the sheer volume of drivers on a daily basis. Traffic is frequent in I-95 in Miami, Broward and Palm Beach counties especially, and the risk of collision is higher during rush hour traffic. Unlike car to car accidents, car to moped/scooter accidents most typically result in serious bodily harm done to the moped/scooter driver due to a lack of protection provided by their vehicle. Distracted drivers can strike a moped or scooter with their vehicle because they are much smaller and potentially more difficult to see. Mopeds, scooters and other similar vehicles are equipped with signals, brakes and other safety components that give them the opportunity to ride alongside cars on major roadways harmoniously. Oftentimes, it is the carelessness or recklessness of another driver that results in serious injuries related to mopeds and scooters.

Typical injuries associated with moped/scooter accidents include:
  • Concussion
  • Brain damage
  • Fractured or broken bones
  • Paralysis
  • Paraplegia
  • Scrapes and bruises
  • Spinal injury
  • Neck injury

★★★★★
I would recommend Richard to anyone and I would hire him again with out hesitation. I did not know Richard Ansara. I found him on the internet. I live in another state so I had to trust. I left a message. I got a call back from Richard. He invested a lot of time just listening to what I needed him to do. It was not your traditional need. He told me what he felt he could accomplish. I liked his approach and the care he took in crafting his responses to me. I hired him. He went to work immediately. He always stayed in contact. I got progress reports from him on a regular basis. Richard completed the mission and did not overcharge me. His fee was more than fair and we got excellent results, just what we wanted. He seems to be a really good guy. That's important. A. James
