    I was in a segway accident in Queensland…

    I was in a segway accident in Queensland…

    The open nature of a segway means that serious injuries are often sustained in a segway accident. Because segways are smaller, light weight and require balance they can be more difficult to operate safely. They can also be difficult for other road users to see. Operating a segway in Queensland can be a dangerous venture.

    Examples of segway accidents are:

    • Being the rider of a segway and losing control on a road, footpath or bikeway/bike path
    • Being struck by a segway
    • Riding a segway and being struck by another segway or another vehicle
    • Losing control of a segway because of a mechanical fault

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

    Common injuries sustained in a segway accident in Queensland

    Common injuries sustained in a segway accident are:

    • Gravel Rash
    • Burns
    • Broken and fractured bones
    • 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 a segway accident, the victim often sustains serious and complex injuries and it is not unusual to suffer a trauma response. Being injured in a segway accident can be frightening, traumatic and can have lifelong consequences. A lawyer will work with you through this uncertain time.
