Understanding Electric Scooter Accidents
Electric scooter accidents can turn your life upside down in seconds, leaving you juggling medical treatment, insurance calls, and uncertainty about what to do next. E-scooter injury claims often move fast, and many riders don’t realize how Minnesota’s personal injury laws apply until they’re already overwhelmed. That’s where our attorneys come in. With decades of experience in Minnesota’s legal landscape, we guide injured riders through every stage of the process, helping them understand their rights and pursue the compensation they need to move forward.
The Most Common Causes of E-Scooter Accidents
Electric scooter crashes are often caused by preventable hazards or someone else’s failure to act safely. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted or careless drivers
- Drivers failing to yield to riders in bike lanes or crosswalks
- Malfunctioning or defective scooters
- Unsafe or poorly maintained scooters from rental companies
- Hazardous road or riding conditions, including uneven pavement or potholes
- Poorly marked construction zones
- Inadequate lighting or visibility at night
- Dooring, or sudden door openings from parked cars
The Types of Injuries Involving Electric Scooters
Even what feels like a minor crash can leave riders with injuries that require long-term medical treatment, time away from work, and ongoing care. A personal injury lawyer can help you understand how these injuries impact your case and what compensation may be available. Common e-scooter injuries include:
- Broken bones
- Sprains, strains, and dislocated joints
- Neck and back injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Road rash and soft-tissue damage
- Facial injuries
- Wrist, elbow, or shoulder injuries from bracing during a fall

What Are the Different Types of Mesothelioma Lawsuits?
There are three main categories of mesothelioma lawsuits:
- Personal injury lawsuit: People diagnosed with mesothelioma may file personal injury lawsuits to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by asbestos exposure.
- Wrongful death lawsuit: Families may file a wrongful death lawsuit after losing a loved one to mesothelioma. These claims seek compensation for funeral costs, lost financial support, and the emotional impact of losing a loved one.
- Product liability lawsuit: These lawsuits hold manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors accountable for exposing people to asbestos through dangerous or defective products without proper warnings. Claims for dangerous household asbestos products, manufacturing materials, and construction materials may all fall under this category.
Who Can Be Held Liable For an Electric Scooter Accident?
Electric scooter crashes often involve multiple contributing factors, which means more than one party may be responsible for your injuries. Identifying liability is a crucial part of building a strong personal injury claim, and Sieben Alexander P.A. works to uncover every source of fault so you can pursue the full compensation you deserve. Because no two cases are alike, we tailor our legal strategy to the specific circumstances of your accident and the unique needs of your recovery.
Scooter Rental Companies
Rental companies are required to provide scooters that are safe, functional, and reasonably maintained. When a scooter is defective, poorly serviced, or placed in a high-risk area without proper guidance or warnings, the company may be responsible for the resulting injuries.
Drivers and Motor Vehicle Operators
Negligent drivers contribute to a significant number of e-scooter accidents. A driver who is distracted, speeding, failing to yield, or simply not watching for riders in bike lanes or crosswalks may be held accountable for the harm they cause.
Property Owners, Cities, and Towns
Unsafe infrastructure can turn a routine ride into a hazardous one. Broken sidewalks, hidden potholes, debris, unmarked construction zones, and other roadway defects can all play a role in an electric scooter crash. When public or private property owners fail to maintain safe conditions, they may be responsible for your injuries.

Electric Scooter Injury Lawyers FAQs
What Are Some Safety Tips for Riding an E-Scooter?
Always wear a helmet, inspect the scooter for visible damage, and test the brakes before riding. Stay alert to traffic, avoid poorly lit areas, and use reflective gear or lights so others can see you. These precautions help reduce the risk of serious injuries.
How Much Does Hiring an Electric Scooter Lawyer Cost?
Sieben Polk P.A. works on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front. You only owe legal fees if the firm secures compensation for your case.
How Long Do I Have To File an Electric Scooter Lawsuit?
Minnesota law sets strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims, including those involving e-scooters. Your timeframe depends on the details of your accident. You can learn more on our Minnesota personal injury statute of limitations page.
How Much Is My Electric Scooter Case Worth?
The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and how the accident affects your daily life. An attorney can assess your damages and help estimate the compensation you may be entitled to.
Can I Receive Compensation If I Was Partially At-Fault for My Accident?
Yes. Under Minnesota’s comparative fault system, you may still recover compensation as long as your share of fault is not greater than the parties you’re making a claim against. However, your compensation may be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
