Beverly Hills E-Scooter Accident Lawyer

Talk To A Personal Injury Attorney

Electric scooters have quickly become a popular form of transportation throughout the streets of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills included. There are so many positives to renting an e-scooter. They are a fun, affordable, and convenient alternative to driving. You can rent one on the spot using a smartphone app. And simply leave it on the street once you arrive at your destination. 

However, despite their popularity and convenience, they do have many downsides. Not only are riders prone to suffering broken bones and head injuries, but laws regulating their use vary greatly from city to city. These two considerations alone will make it difficult for anyone who is thinking of filing a claim for the recovery of damages.

What Do I Do After An E- Scooter Accident?

The city of Beverly Hills is one of the more anti-e-scooter cities in the state of California. As of now, e-scooters are completely banned in the city. However, this doesn’t mean that people won’t keep riding their e-scooters around town. Furthermore, neighboring cities do allow e-scooters. Therefore, it’s important to know what steps to take if you suffer an e-scooter accident .

1) Make Sure You’re OK

 Find a safe space and move away from traffic and other injury hazards. If you’ve suffered injuries, even minor ones, please request medical assistance. Even if you believe you are not hurt at all, it’s recommended to get checked out by a medical professional.

2) Is Everyone Else OK? 

If you are able, please check on anyone else involved. E-scooter accidents often affect a single rider. However, various e-scooter riders, pedestrians, and drivers may also suffer injuries too. E-scooter accidents can involve multiple parties, and if you are well enough to do so, check on everyone else. As always, please call an ambulance immediately if anyone appears to be hurt.

3) Involve The Police 

Police are required to show up after accidents involving injuries. You must report the details of your e-scooter accident to police, especially if there are injuries or property loss involved. The police will file a written report. Please make sure to request a copy before you leave the scene. If someone else was responsible for the accident, a police report will show the other party was liable for your injuries and losses, which will help you recover financial compensation. 

4) Document What Happened

This is a crucial step. Start by collecting the contact information from anyone involved, including names, driver’s license numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance information. Please include the same information from any available witnesses, as their testimony can be helpful to you later on. Finally, use your phone to take photographs and video of the accident scene, the vehicles involved, your injuries, property loss, and any relevant details.

5) Medical Care

As mentioned, seeking medical treatment after suffering an e-scooter accident is highly recommended. Just because you don’t think you were hurt doesn’t mean you aren’t. Furthermore, if you delay in seeking medical treatment, or if you don’t seek medical care at all, the other party’s insurance provider will argue that you weren’t really hurt. 6) Consult A Beverly Hills E-Scooter Accident Attorney 

For the most part, liability after an e-scooter accident will be based on someone’s negligence. In other words, whose negligence caused the accident? If it can be determined that the other party was negligent and caused your injuries, they may be held liable for any injuries or losses caused to you. An experienced Beverly Hills e-scooter accident attorney will take care of everything for you, including filing the necessary paperwork and negotiating with the insurance companies. 

The E-Scooter User Agreement: A Crucial Consideration

All e-scooter companies require users to agree to certain conditions before riding. An E-scooter user agreement can also be used to determine liability after a Beverly Hills E-scooter accident. These agreements are legally binding between an E-Scooter rider and the scooter company. However,these agreements may actually limit a company’s liability after an accident. 
For example, consider Lime's user agreement, which:

  • Requires e-scooter riders to follow all traffic laws, but doesn’t specify which laws or how to follow them. This can complicate things, especially when different cities have different or conflicting laws.
  • Forces e-scooter riders to claim enough competence and physical fitness to ride an E-scooter.
  • Requires e-scooter riders to perform safety inspections before going for a ride, and worse, disclaims liability for defective E-scooters.

E-scooter user agreements are long and complex. Despite how confusing they can be, an e-scooter rider who breaks a provision in a signed user agreement can be blamed by the e-scooter company for any injuries sustained after an accident. We strongly recommend consulting with an experienced Beverly Hills e-scooter accident attorney if you have suffered injuries after an e-scooter accident.

Dangerous Street Conditions And E-Scooter Accidents

E-Scooter accidents can be caused by dangerous street conditions. In other words, a property owner can be held liable if they fail to maintain their premises in reasonably safe conditions. This applies to streets or roadways owned by a government entity. 


If you have suffered injuries as a result of negligent property maintenance, you must specifically prove that:

  1. The defendant leased, owned, occupied, or was controlling the property where your e-scooter accident took place
  2. The defendant acted negligently regarding use or maintenance of the property
  3. You were hurt
  4. The defendant's negligence was the primary factor that caused your injuries
