Frequently asked questions

What should I do immediately after a scooter accident?

Seek medical attention, document the scene, gather witness info, and contact an experienced injury attorney before speaking with insurers or the scooter company.

Can I sue Bird, Lime, or another scooter company?

It depends. If the scooter malfunctioned due to poor maintenance or a manufacturing defect, you may have a case. These companies often try to limit liability through user agreements.

Do I have a case if I was hit by a car while riding a scooter?

Yes. If the driver was negligent (e.g., distracted driving, failing to yield), you may be eligible for compensation.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

You can still have a valid claim. However, not wearing a helmet may reduce your compensation if it contributed to your injuries.

How much is my scooter accident case worth?

In Washington state (and many others), comparative negligence laws may still allow you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault.

How long do I have to file a scooter accident lawsuit?

In Washington, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally 3 years from the date of the accident.

How much does it cost to hire an injury lawyer?

Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis—meaning no fees unless you win your case. Feel free to contact us for more information.

$2.5 Million Recovered – Scooter Accident in Seattle

We recently secured a $2,500,000 settlement for a client who was seriously injured while riding an electric scooter in downtown Seattle.

Our client, a 32-year-old tech professional, was struck by a distracted rideshare driver while crossing at a green light on their scooter. The accident resulted in multiple fractures and a traumatic brain injury. The rideshare company initially denied liability, but our legal team uncovered key traffic camera footage and phone records proving the driver was using their phone at the time of the crash.

Within six months, our firm negotiated a multi-million dollar settlement — covering medical costs, lost wages, and pain & suffering — all without the client ever stepping into a courtroom.

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes, but we fight hard for every client.

“Eric and his staff are professional, skilled, and knowledgeable. All very important qualities, but they are also kind, compassionate, and tenacious. My accident coincided with COVID, so the process has been a long one, but throughout the process Eric was continually working to get the best outcome for me. He and his staff kept me up to date with what was happening, and were very quick to respond whenever I had questions. I recommend Eric Nelson without reservation.”

“Absolutely outstanding experience with Eric and his incredible team, Barbie and Hillary! From start to finish, they were beyond helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. They kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I fully understood the process. Their level of communication was exceptional, always prompt and thorough, which gave me great peace of mind. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my case ended with a very high settlement, far exceeding my expectations. I couldn't have asked for a better legal team. Highly recommend Eric for anyone seeking top-notch representation!”
