What are the dangers of E-scooters?
E-scooters are becoming increasingly popular, especially in large towns and cities. They offer many benefits: they are cheap, fast, and can be used in cycle lanes, making them ideal for avoiding traffic jams during peak times.
However, there are also significant drawbacks that are often overlooked. Many e-scooter accident claims arise because rental companies do not require a UK provisional license. While they may impose a minimum age requirement, they often do not verify this when users sign up through their apps. This has led to inexperienced riders — including children — operating e-scooters dangerously among other road users on busy streets.
E-scooter accident statistics
Government statistics for 2021 reveal a significant rise in personal injury road traffic collisions involving e-scooters. The number of reported accidents surged to 1,280, nearly triple the 460 recorded in 2020.
Of these incidents, 309 involved only a single e-scooter with no other vehicles. In total, there were 1,359 casualties linked to e-scooter collisions, including 9 fatalities. Additionally, 390 people were seriously injured, while 960 sustained minor injuries in these accidents. This sharp increase highlights the growing concern over e-scooter safety on public roads.
How do E-scooter accidents occur?
While it’s now common to see people riding e-scooters on roads and pavements in the UK, the limited protection for riders has led to a surge in e-scooter-related accidents — and a rise in e-scooter accident claims.
Although recommended, wearing protective gear or a helmet is not mandatory when hiring an e-scooter, and their nearly silent motors make them difficult to hear approaching. With limited braking capacity and high speeds, accidents involving both riders and pedestrians are becoming increasingly common.
However, many responsible e-scooter users are involved in accidents through no fault of their own. These incidents can result from potholes or the negligence of other road users. Whether you were injured while riding an e-scooter or as a pedestrian in a collision, you may be entitled to compensation — and our team can help with your e-scooter accident claim.
