Scooter accident cases can involve multiple liable parties, complex insurance issues, and corporate defendants with aggressive legal teams. Butler Kahn handles serious injury cases and can evaluate whether you have a claim during a free consultation."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long do I have to file a scooter accident lawsuit in Georgia?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Georgia's statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the accident under O.C.G.A. \u00a7 9-3-33. However, certain exceptions may apply. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What if I wasn't wearing a helmet when the scooter accident happened?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Georgia law requires scooter and moped riders to wear helmets. If you weren't wearing a helmet, the defense may argue that your injuries were more severe as a result. However, this doesn't necessarily bar your claim\u2014it may affect the amount of compensation you receive."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I sue Bird, Lime, Uber, or Lyft if I was hurt on one of their scooters?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Possibly. If the accident was caused by a defect in the scooter, poor maintenance, or another failure by the company, you may have a claim. However, these companies require users to agree to terms of service that include arbitration clauses and liability waivers. An experienced attorney can review your situation."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What if the driver who hit me on a scooter fled the scene?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Hit-and-run accidents are unfortunately common. If the driver cannot be identified, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. An attorney can help investigate your case and identify all available sources of recovery."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are scooters allowed on sidewalks in Atlanta?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Under Georgia law and Atlanta city ordinances, scooters and mopeds are not allowed on sidewalks. They are also prohibited in pedestrian areas like the Atlanta Beltline and Piedmont Park."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What evidence should I gather after a scooter accident?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Take photos of the scene, the scooter, any vehicles involved, your injuries, and road conditions. Get contact information from witnesses. Request a copy of the police report. Keep all medical records and bills. Save the receipt from the scooter rental app."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I recover compensation if I was partly at fault for the scooter accident?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you could recover $80,000."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does it cost to hire Butler Kahn for a scooter accident case?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Butler Kahn handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your case."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What should I do if the scooter company's insurance adjuster contacts me?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Be cautious. Insurance adjusters work for the company, not for you. They may try to get you to make statements that hurt your case or accept a low settlement. Speak with a lawyer before giving any recorded statements or signing any documents."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are electric scooters considered vehicles under Georgia law?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Electric scooters like Bird and Lime are classified as mopeds under Georgia law because they have two wheels, produce less than two horsepower, have a maximum speed under 30 mph, and require no clutching or shifting. This means they must follow vehicle traffic laws."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I ride a rental scooter in Atlanta without a driver's license?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Georgia law requires scooter operators to have a valid driver's license. Operating a scooter without a license is illegal and could affect your ability to recover compensation if you're injured."}}]}]]
