Attorney Friedman Has a Focus in Scooter Laws and Incidents
Electric scooters have seen a boom in popularity since tech companies like Uber introduced them in 2018. A study published by the Centers for Disease Control determined that nearly 20 scooter users out of every 100,000 experience an injury during their rides. Electric scooters present many of the same safety hazards as motorcycles including a lack of airbags and seatbelts. However, in contrast to motorcycles, the DMV doesn’t have specific licensing laws for scooter operators. The end result is swarms of scooter riders zipping around busy city streets without any protection. Scooter accidents can result in a number of injuries like:
Head and neck trauma.
Broken bones.
Skin damage like road rash.
Damage to soft and connective tissue.
Organ damage from impact with cars.
If you were involved in a scooter accident that caused you an injury and wasn’t your fault, you may deserve financial compensation. A qualified, professional personal injury lawyer like attorney Friedman can help you pursue damages in an electric scooter accident lawsuit including:
Medical treatment.
Rehabilitation costs.
Property damage.
Lost wages from time taken off work.
Decreased quality of life.

After Your Scooter Accident Contact Us Immediately
It’s important to consult an attorney immediately after an electric scooter accident. The sooner you file your case, the easier it will be for your attorney to pursue it. In addition, New Jersey has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury cases. Attorney Friedman can help you navigate the civil court process and file crucial court documents like:
Complaint – this document initiates your lawsuit. It lists how the defendant harmed you and what the court can do to rectify the situation.
Discovery – after filing your complaint and serving it on the defendant, you’ll need to present any evidence you plan to use in your case to the court. This can include information like police and insurance reports. If you don’t file a piece of evidence with the court, you can’t use it in your case.
Negotiations – before your case goes to trial, you and the defendant will have the chance to negotiate a settlement out-of-court. This is frequently the last step of a personal injury case.
Trial – if you and the defendant can’t reach an agreement during negotiations, you’ll need to appear in court. Both sides will present their cases and the court will submit a ruling to decide the case in favor of the plaintiff or defendant.
Without the help of an attorney to guide you through the civil court procedures, you’ll likely lose your electric scooter accident lawsuit. However, hiring a lawyer like attorney Friedman can greatly increase your chances of winning your claim.
