NEW YORK CITY SCOOTER ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Unfortunately, scooter accidents are common occurrences on the busy streets of New York City. Many car and truck drivers are distracted while on their cell phone or texting, and fail to observe scooters on the road. With little to protect them, it is the scooter drivers who typically sustain severe injuries. You need an experienced New York City personal injury attorney who knows how to handle scooter accident cases.

What causes so many new scooter accidents?

  • Scooter operators are not always aware that they may need a motorcycle license to operate a moped or scooter. If the engine is larger than 49 cubic centimeters or the scooter can travel faster than 30 miles per hour, then a motorcycle license is required in New York State.
  • Scooters are smaller and lighter than standard motorcycles, making them less stable on road hazards such as potholes or obstructions. When a scooter makes a sudden turn to avoid an obstacle or oncoming vehicle, the operator may find it difficult to maintain control and may be struck by a car or other motorist.
  • Other motorists often fail to see small scooters, causing dangerous collisions on the highway.
