important things you should know
Additional Information
Most electric scooter accidents stem from preventable behaviors or unsafe conditions, such as:
Reckless riding by scooter riders
Underage scooter operators
Defective brakes or other mechanical failures
Improper or missing scooter maintenance
Impaired operation by e-scooter riders
Unsafe car accident collisions with scooters
Poor electric scooter company practices
These types of personal injury cases often require expert witnesses, crash reconstruction, and careful legal strategy to prove fault and maximize your recovery.
Florida follows the doctrine of modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar rule. F.S. § 768.81. This is a fault and damages the allocation system. Florida law uses the term “comparative fault” rather than the more commonly used “comparative negligence.”
Under this system, fault is determined and apportioned among the parties involved (plaintiff and all defendants), and the amount of compensation the plaintiff can recover is limited by his or her relative share of fault for causing the accident that resulted in the injury.
As a result, the plaintiff’s recovery is limited by his or her assigned percentage of fault. The 51% bar rule means that if the plaintiff’s allocated percentage of fault is 51% or greater, he or she is completely barred from recovering any damages.
Plaintiffs in Florida must be 50% or less at fault for the accident that resulted in their injuries in order to recover damages.
For example, assume a plaintiff is determined to be 50% at fault, and the damage award is $100,000. The amount to which the plaintiff is entitled is $50,000 because the plaintiff’s allocated percentage share of fault, i.e., 50% or $50,000, is deducted from the total damage award.
If the plaintiff were determined to be 51% at fault, he or she would by completely barred from recovering any damages because Florida applies the 51% bar rule.
Thus, if the plaintiff is deemed 50% or less at fault for the accident, he or she is eligible to recover damages; however, if the plaintiff is deemed 51% or more at fault for the accident, he or she is not eligible to recover any damages.
Electric scooter accidents often happen because at least one party acted negligently. For an injured victim to recover compensation, they must prove that another party is legally responsible for their injuries. Establishing legal liability can be complicated. Generally, the victim needs to demonstrate:
The other party had a duty to act with reasonable care toward the victim.
That duty was breached, and
The breach directly caused the victim’s injuries.
Insurance companies often go to great lengths to avoid liability. They may deny responsibility entirely, try to shift blame onto the victim (see discussion on Comparative Negligence), or downplay the severity of the injuries.
To achieve this, they rely on a team of adjusters, attorneys, medical professionals, and technical experts to minimize payouts. Facing such challenges alone makes it incredibly difficult for accident victims to secure full and fair compensation.
However, having a board-certified trial lawyer with experience in electric scooter accidents on your side can level the playing field and significantly increase your chances of receiving fair and complete compensation.
The types and amounts of damages awarded in electric scooter accident cases depend entirely on the specific facts and circumstances of each case. Numerous factors influence the settlement amount or jury award for an injury claim.
As a result, the compensation someone you know received or the amounts highlighted in law firm advertisements have little to no relevance to the actual value of your specific claim.
This is why consulting with a knowledgeable attorney experienced in electric scooter accidents is crucial. They can protect your rights and provide a fact-based, experience-driven evaluation of your claim’s potential worth.
Without an objective and reasonable assessment from an experienced lawyer, you risk accepting a settlement offer that’s far too low or holding out for an unrealistically high amount.
In either case, you may not receive fair or full compensation for your injuries, property damage, out-of-pocket expenses, and lost income, or any compensation at all.
Insurance companies want to close your case quickly. But accepting a low offer means giving up your rights to maximum compensation. Our experienced personal injury attorneys analyze past settlements and verdicts to determine the fair value for your personal injury case.
We help personal injury victims fight back against tactics used by insurance companies and insurance carriers, ensuring they aren’t pressured into accepting less than what their injuries are truly worth.
