Escooters are becoming increasingly popular modes of transport, especially for those living in large towns or cities. Escooters have many positives, they are cheap, fast and can be ridden in cycle lanes, which is beneficial for those wanting to avoid traffic jams at peak times.
However, they do also have many negatives which are often overlooked. Many e-scooter companies do not require a UK provisional license to hire out the device, often they will have a minimum age requirement, however they do not ask for proof of this when signing up to their rental apps. This has led to inexperienced drivers, many of whom are children, riding dangerously amongst other road users on busy streets.
Whilst escooters it is now very common to see people riding e-scooters along the roads and pavements in the UK.
Unfortunately, due to the limited protection afforded to the riders, this means the rate of e-scooter related accidents has surged and the number continues to rise.
Although encouraged, it is not a requirement to wear protective gear or a helmet when hiring an e-scooter and their motors are effectively silent making them difficult to hear on the approach.
Due to their limited braking capacity and high speeds, it is common to hear of accidents involving both scooter riders and pedestrians.
The impact these accidents have on people’s lives can be catastrophic, injuries include severe fractures, injury to the head, neck or spine and sadly some fatalities have been reported.
Government statistics for 2021 estimate a number of personal injury road traffic collisions involving escooters.
There are however, a lot of responsible e-scooter users who are involved in accidents through no fault of their own.
These can occur due to pot holes in the road or through the negligence of another road user, for example. Whether you have been injured when riding an e-scooter yourself, or if you were a pedestrian involved in a collision, you may be entitled to compensation.
