Much like motorcyclists, scooter riders are extremely vulnerable to injuries because they are not protected by impact absorption technologies that other vehicles enjoy. As a result, scooter accident injuries tend to be much more severe than motor vehicle accidents. From “road rash”, to catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death, scooter accident injuries need to be handled delicately.
A very important difference between a scooter accident injury claim and a motor vehicle claim is the higher medical bills that accompany such a case. Approximately 22% of Washington drivers are uninsured – so tremendous care must be put into a scooter accident injury case.

Scooter accident victims are often assumed to have been at least partially at fault for accidents, so victims may have to fight that presumption. Insurance companies search for any way to shift the blame away from their client. Victims face an uphill battle in that they are often tricked into giving a recorded statement to the other party’s insurance claims adjuster. As a result of this manipulation, insurance companies will often offer little to nothing to settle a scooter accident injury claim.
Investigating the insurance coverage is critical for a scooter accident injury case, and the insurance companies need to be coordinated to make sure they pay medical bills in the manner that puts our clients in the best financial position. Without coordinating care properly, scooter accident victims may be stuck with limited or no financial recovery.
