Scooters are a popular, fun and convenient way to travel, but they also leave the rider completely vulnerable in any type of motor vehicle accident. Many of these accidents happen because drivers are negligent and fail to check for scooters before making maneuvers.
Over more than 25 years, our experienced team of personal injury lawyers at Phillips Law Group have successfully recovered millions in compensation for over 155,000 consumer clients throughout the state of Arizona.
If you or a loved one were injured in a scooter accident, we invite you to contact one of our Flagstaff scooter accident attorneys for a free review of the accident that caused your injuries. If we represent you, there are no out-of-pocket fees to worry about. Since we take scooter accidents on a contingency basis, we do not get paid any fees unless we win compensation on your behalf.

What is My Case Worth?
The value of your case is determined by the extent of your injuries and how those injuries are affecting your daily life. For instance, are you able to work or enjoy activities that you used to participate in? There are a lot of details we need to understand to accurately value your potential claim. In general, you may be eligible to pursue compensation to recover damages related to your injuries, which may include:
- Medical expenses
- Physical therapy
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
There may be other damages you are eligible for, and a qualified attorney can help you to pursue the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries.
At Phillips Law Group, we are dedicated to providing the answers to your questions and protecting your interests and legal rights, if you have a valid case. We recommend that you schedule a free consultation with one of our knowledgeable attorneys to review the specifics of your claim and discuss your potential legal options.
Why You May Benefit From a Lawyer?
Handling a personal injury claim on your own is difficult, especially if you are trying to recover from your injuries so you can try to get on with your life. Dealing with insurance companies on your own can be quite risky because they are looking to deny or devalue your claim.
This is why working with a lawyer can be a big advantage to injury victims. Generally, clients who work with lawyers recover more compensation than those who do not.
Our licensed attorneys are well-versed in Arizona laws and know how to apply them to the specifics of a claim when building a case.
Another benefit is that we can help prevent you from missing any important filing deadlines, such as the deadline for filing your claim. Arizona law only allows two years from the date of your accident for you to file. If you miss that deadline, you may lose your chance to recover any damages sustained in the accident.
There are some exceptions to filing deadlines, but they are not all in your favor. Some may be later, but some deadlines are as short as 180 days. The bottom line is that you do not want to risk your claim, and we can review the specifics of your claim to see what deadlines may apply.
Call today to learn about your potential legal options. Ph: 602-222-222 .
Handling Insurance Companies
After any type of motor vehicle accident, you are likely to receive a call from the insurance companies involved in handling your claim. Unfortunately, many accident victims are still in a vulnerable state when they get this call and may innocently say something that can damage the value of their claim.
It is worth mentioning that insurance companies are not on your side. As a company, their priority is to pay out as little compensation as possible. When they call, no matter what they tell you, you are under no obligation to make a recorded statement and should simply tell them that you will get back to them after speaking with your attorney. If we represent you, we can handle all communication with the insurance company on your behalf to help protect the value of your claim.

Arizona Scooter Laws and Regulations
There are not as many regulations for scooters as there are for motorcycles or even bicycles, but as scooters increase in popularity it is important to know what rules apply for each type of scooter:
Motorized scooters are allowed on roads but may not be driven on bicycle paths and require operators to have:
- A valid motorcycle license
- Current insurance
- Proof of registration
An electric scooter or bicycle has different requirements:
- Operators may not ride this vehicle on a roadway, only on designated bicycle paths
- No license is required, same as for a bike
- No insurance, title or registration is required
- To be classified as an electric bike or scooter, the total weight must be 75 pounds or less
- The maximum allowable speed on this vehicle is 25 mph
Another type of two-wheeled vehicle is a moped. It is sometimes classified as a type of motorcycle. Depending on its ability, it may be classified as a scooter and required to follow the same regulations. A moped must also have:
- The capacity to go at least 25 mph on a flat road
- Pedals
- Two to three wheels
- An engine with no more than 50cc capacity
- No more than 1.5 bhp
The minimum amount of insurance required for these vehicles is coverage for $10,000 in total property damage liability per accident, and coverage that provides at least $15,000 for bodily injury per person or $30,000 per accident.
Liability for a Scooter Crash
To have a valid scooter accident claim, you must be able to prove that there was an act of negligence that contributed to the crash. Negligence may extend to a variety of potential parties, including:
- Scooter operator
- Other drivers
- Pedestrians
- Government entity
- Other third parties (such as the vehicle manufacturer if it contributed to the accident)
What Our Clients Are Saying
Morgan W.
I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.
Blanca D.
When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.
Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

Philips Law Group offers outstanding customer service and a profound knowledge of personal injury law. Right from the initial call through to your office visit, they ensure you feel well-supported.

Latosha E.
What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...
Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.
Rich S.
Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...
Denise C.
Phillips Law Group made dealing with our auto accident easy. They always had our best interest in mind and made sure that we were happy with treatment before finalizing anything. Our Paralegal, Amy Wagner, is amazing! She checked in on us throughout the entire process to make sure our treatments were going well and that we were getting better, getting healthy was first priority. She kept us informed on the progress of our case every step of the way and was very prompt with either calling or emailing us back with any questions that we had. We are very satisfied with our experience with Phillips Law Group, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of representation!
Squaw Peak Realty
I never thought it could happen to me, I had heard about it on the news, but truly never thought it could happen to me. I was rear ended by a drunk driver. I was lost on what to do. My car insurance company would give no directions, I and my grandson were injured, my little pick- up was smashed, I was not the one who was at fault, but I felt like I was because I could get no help on what to do! You would think that your car insurance company would at least point you in the right direction. So, I contacted Phillips Law Group, I truly never ever thought I would need the help they provided...
Jeffrey J.
Phillips Law Group helped me out a lot with my motorcycle accident. They're attentive to your needs, always have answers to your questions, and answered all my calls, never leaving me in the dark. I highly recommend Phillips Law Group.
Anthony W.
I just wanna say that I’m young and have never had an incident needing something like Philips law and I’m glad I went with them. After my accident I was paralyzed with stress on how am I gonna recover from this what do I do, but they literally took majority if not all the worry away. I really only went to my appointments and kept them updated as much I can and eventually helped me win my case. It was a quick process as well for receiving compensation very grateful. Thank you!
Sherman S.
One of the best experiences I have ever had dealing with a accident attorneys. They made me feel welcomed. They definitely listened to me and help guide me through this process with ease. There was no surprises and they made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. The best phone I made the night of my accident and God forbid any other accidents come my way but if so they will definitely be my very first call again. Best law group In PHX.
Whitney W.
I want to say for this being my first accident and unclear on what to do. They were amazing, from communication and making sure you have everything you need. The other insurance was giving me a hard time with my rental, I called my attorney at Philips Law Group and they made sure I had a vehicle to get around. They made sure I got the best care with amazing staff. They handle my case with care and at the end they still make sure I am okay. I appreciate you guys for not taking advantage of me and putting me first. It was not about the money but making sure I had everything I need and what was owed...
Jasmine J.
Phillips law group is an AMAZING company!!!! First and foremost not only did they help me with my first car accident but my second one as well!! They stayed in communication with me the ENTIRE time and didn’t leave me out throughout the whole process. Kalynn is AMAZING she is literally heaven sent. I LOVED working with her so so so much. They truly did everything in their power to get me the most money. I’m still in disbelief how much money I did end up walking away with. I’m very happy and blessed that they took my case when nobody else would. I will definitely use them again in the future NO QUESTIONS ASKED! Trust me USE THEM! You...
Tim B.
Maria Cionci and Paulina Nava are wonderful people that truly care about their clients. I have a lot of respect for how they conduct themselves in general, but especially how they graciously assist their injured clients. If you have been injured in an automobile collision, call and ask for their assistance. You won't be disappointed!
CiLo U.

Provided us with exceptional referrals to medical places for our care. And ended with more then what we ever expected to get from our settlement from our accident. Thank you Phillips law group.
Darren M.
I feel that I was truly blessed to find the Phillips Law Group after being involved in a bad car accident. My attorney and the staff were professional and very supportive. The firm provided compassion and sound legal advice while we navigated my insurance claim. I highly recommend giving them a call if you are involved in an accident with bodily injuries. The firm set me up with healthcare providers and really went the extra mile to help me with my case. I’m happy with my settlement and for all of their help.
Tea J.
Aaron my attorney and Jasmine my paralegal were great. Throughout the settlement process, Jasmine did a great job of keeping me in the loop of everything going on. It is a long process but being reassured during the process was helpful. Throughout the process I was provided a chiropractor and physical therapist and they all made sure that I was taken care of and feeling better before releasing me. I was also provided a trauma therapist. Though I still think about the accident and struggle here and there, my therapist did a great job of giving me the help i needed in the months following the accident. I hope to never go through this again but if need be, I...
Mary S.
Amazing Law Firm after getting the run around from the Insurance companies, I decided to call Phillips Law Group and initially spoke with Randy he was so helpful and kind, he truly cared about my situation and was explaining to me everything about what typically happens after an Accident....It just so happened to be exactly what I was dealing with. I felt at ease during our conversation like a weight had been lifted and at that point, I knew I made the right decision contacting them, and shortly there after I retained their services. I was contacted by my Attorney and Case manager within and hour and they assured me all my needs would be met - helping me with...
Grant F.
Having never been in automobile wreck before, I found myself in uncharted territory. Thankfully I ended up choicing Phillips Law Group. They took charge of my case! I want to especially acknowledge McKenna, my case manager. Without her listening -- to my good days as well some bad days due to injuries -- I would have been lost. If you ever need a Law firm, think about talking to Phillips Law Group. You won't be sorry.
Matt S.
I had a fantastic experience during a difficult time. In particular, my paralegal Brittany was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made the process very smooth. I would definitely recommend.
Chandon A.
Angie at Phillips Law Group is outstanding. She took a high degree of consideration with every concern raised and PLG lawyers are outstanding legal advocates. I highly recommend this law firm.
