Get Legal Answers With a Free Case Evaluation

Electric scooters, also called e-scooters, have taken Texas by storm. While the City of Houston is still finalizing laws for more well-known companies, such as Byrd and Lime, local providers still offer electric scooter rentals and purchases that have resulted in severe accident injuries. If you or dear loved one are grappling with expensive injury bills, hire a Houston electric scooter accident lawyer as soon as possible.

An e-scooter accident injury case may involve more than one liable party and insurance company. These aspects and developing laws can make recovering the money you need from insurers a significant challenge. There are civil deadlines and notification requirements that apply to your case, too, which means you should act sooner than later.

Protect yourself before the insurance companies can offer you a lesser settlement for your losses. There are no attorneys’ fees if you select us to represent your case.

Houston E-Scooter Laws

Electric scooters (e-scooters) in Texas are typically classified as motor-assisted scooters. These are defined as vehicles that have:

Two wheels.
Handlebars.
A floorboard or seat for the operator.
An electric motor that doesn’t exceed 750 watts (about 1 horsepower).

Riders in Houston must be at least 16 years old. Helmets are recommended but not required for riders.

E-scooters are allowed on streets with speed limits of 35 mph or less. Riders should use bike lanes where available.

Riding on sidewalks is prohibited, especially in busy pedestrian areas like downtown Houston. E-scooters must be parked in designated areas or zones and should not obstruct pedestrian pathways, driveways, or entrances to buildings.

The maximum speed limit for e-scooters in Houston is 15 mph.

We Represent E-Scooter Injury Victims When Someone Else Causes Their Injuries

Like any open-air motorized vehicle, there is less protection between the rider and the roadway. When an accident occurs, the injuries that you experience may be traumatic due to the exposure you face. However, this assertion does not mean that another person’s negligence should have injured you.

Your Houston electric scooter accident lawyer at The Law Offices of Omar Khawaja will investigate the cause of your accident to prove negligent acts involving:

Reckless or careless motorists
Distracted driving and speeding
Not looking before opening a door
Failing to yield to the driver with the right of way
Unsafe roads and parking lots
Malfunctioning or poorly maintained scooter rentals
Malfunctioning or poorly maintained safety gear
Other negligent causes of your scooter accident

You must report your scooter accident to the police as soon as possible and retain a copy of the accident report if you can physically do so. The next step is to contact our Houston electric scooter accident lawyers at The Law Offices of Omar Khawaja. We will protect your civil rights and liberties after an accident to receive the compensation to which Texas laws entitle you.

You Deserve a Civil Award for Accident Injuries Caused by Negligence

The amount of money that it can take to restore your life to as whole as possible before the accident is far too much for some people to bear. Besides, Texas laws assert your rights to compensation when someone else negligently causes your accident injuries. As such, it is reasonable for you to conclude that you should NOT be responsible for affording these losses.

Current medical bills
Future medical costs
Lost wages and benefits
Future lost earnings
Pain and suffering
Lost enjoyment of life
Wrongful death awards
Punitive damages
Other civil awards as applicable

While every injury victim can’t document their cases, there may be benefits of doing so if you can. Most importantly, make sure that you keep copies of your receipts related to accident expenses, including prescriptions, doctors’ bills, transportation to doctors’ visits costs, invoices, and insurance letters. These items can become evidence that proves the above-referenced losses.

Be Aware of Civil Deadlines That Apply to Your Case

Texas state limits the timeline by which you have to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, such as an electric scooter accident. As such, you have up to two (2) years from the date of your injury to file a claim. Missing this deadline will negatively impact the ability to collect a civil award.

Other Civil Deadlines May Apply

Other deadlines may apply as well, especially if your accident involves a government entity or an uninsured/underinsured motorist. Sometimes, these individuals’ involvement is not apparent until your Houston electric scooter accident lawyer conducts a more in-depth investigation. Rather than leave things to chance and best guesses, get legal help as soon as possible to avoid accidentally missing your opportunity.

If You Missed Texas’ Statute of Limitations

There are exceptions to every rule. Even if you think the statute of limitations surpassed your case, contact The Law Offices of Omar Khawaja to determine if you are barred from filing a claim. Your Houston electric scooter accident lawyer will ensure that you get the answers you need when mitigating circumstances prevailed.
