    I was in an e-scooter accident in Queensland…

    I was in an e-scooter accident in Queensland…

    The small and open nature of an e-scooter means that serious injuries are often sustained in an e-scooter accident. Because e-scooters are smaller they can be more difficult for other drivers to see and they can be difficult to operate safely because of their lighter weight. Operating an e-scooter in Queensland can be a dangerous venture.

    Examples of e-scooter accidents are:

    • Being the rider of an e-scooter and losing control on a road, footpath or bikeway/bikepath
    • Riding an e-scooter and being struck by another vehicle
    • Being struck by an e-scooter
    • Losing control of an e-scooter because of a mechanical fault

    Whether you own or hired the e-scooter involved in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation.

    Common injuries sustained in an e-scooter accident

    Common injuries sustained in an e-scooter accident are:

    • Gravel Rash
    • Burns
    • Broken and fractured bones
    • Sprains
    • Foot, ankle and leg injuries
    • Hand, wrist and arm injuries
    • Head and neck injuries
    • Spinal injuries
    • Nerve damage
    • Closed head injury
    • Psychological trauma

    Given the nature of an e-scooter accident, the victim often sustains serious and complex injuries and it is not unusual to suffer a trauma response. Being injured in an e-scooter accident can be frightening, traumatic and can have lifelong consequences. A lawyer will work with you through this uncertain time.

    If you have been involved in an e-scooter accident and sustained injuries, we recommend reading the following articles:
