How Much Is My Case Worth?

Determining if you have a scooter accident case and if so, the value of that case can be difficult without knowing the full details about the specific incident. However, we understand that as an injury victim, you may be unable to work or have bills from medical treatment that need to be paid and consequently, you may have questions about your potential case.

At Phillips Law Group, we can help to provide answers to those questions. By completing our “Free Case Evaluation” form or by calling our firm for your free consultation, we can begin to obtain some of the information about your incident and determine if you have grounds to file a claim.

How Can Hiring A Scooter Accident Lawyer Help Me?

When an accident lawyer handles a case, the victim usually receives more compensation compared to those that do not use a lawyer.

In Arizona, accident victims have two years to file their lawsuit…

In Arizona, most injury lawsuits need to be filed within 2 years after the accident. However, there may be certain circumstances that extend this deadline OR bring it forward.

Under the “Discovery Rule”, plaintiffs may be eligible for an extension if they are able to prove that they were not aware that they were injured until after the event took place. For example, a scooter rider that was hit from behind by another vehicle may not have a sore neck at the time of the incident however, a few days later, they may have significant pain from the whiplash caused in the crash.

A reputable lawyer may help to identify this information and incorporate it into your potential lawsuit.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Following a collision, insurance companies may also become involved in proceedings. Many injury victims are not aware that any statements and/or signed documents that are given to the insurance company may be used against the victim in an effort to discredit their claim.

Experience has shown us that insurance companies are only interested in settling the claim as quickly as possible, for little or no financial outlay. Their primary obligation is to shareholders – not to injury victims and their families. Having a lawyer on your side can help to ensure that your interests are being protected. By acting as your representative, we can handle all of the inquiries from the insurance companies so that you can focus on the recovery process.

Rules and Regulations For Scooters In Arizona

As motorized and electric scooters are still gaining in popularity, there are not as many regulations as some other vehicles. However currently, motor-driven scooter riders are required to have:

• A motorcycle license
• Insurance
• Registration

… and can be ridden on roads only (not on bike paths).

Electric bikes and E-Scooters have some different regulations including:

• No license required
• No insurance required
• No registration required
• No title required
• Can be used on roads and bike paths
• Must weigh under 75 pounds
• Maximum speed cannot exceed 25 mph

By contrast, mopeds may be considered a type of motorcycle. If so, laws applicable to riders would likely apply to a scooter accident.

For a moped to be considered a motorcycle it must:

• Reach a maximum speed of 25 mph on flat ground
• Have pedals
• Have two or three wheels
• Have an engine capacity of 50cc or less
• Have 1.5 bhp or less

Minimum insurance coverage is the same as other motor vehicles, with $10,000 for property damage liability coverage per accident, $15,000 for bodily injury liability coverage per person and $30,000 per accident.

Who Can Be Held Liable in A Scooter Crash?

When building a scooter accident lawsuit, it must be established that negligence was involved in the collision. That negligence may come from different sources including:

• The Rider – if a rider has collided with another vehicle, person or property and caused damage, they may be liable. The rider may have been distracted while using a cell phone and riding, which may have contributed to that person losing control of the vehicle that they were responsible for controlling.
• Other Motorists – if a driver collides with a scooter, that driver may be liable. There can be many causes of motor-vehicle related accidents which can be determined during the investigation of your claim. As required by Arizona law, motorists must have minimum insurance coverage on their vehicle. This is where compensation may be recovered from initially.
• Pedestrians – people that walk, run, fall or jump in front of a moving scooter may also be liable for a crash. If so, the pedestrian may have homeowner or renter’s insurance, which may be able to be claimed against.
• Manufacturers – in the event that a design or manufacturing defect caused or contributed to a crash, the manufacturer (or other parties associated with the design, building, shipping, handling, selling) of the vehicle may be liable.
• Local Government – should excessively dangerous road conditions (potholes, unmarked roads) contribute or cause a collision, the government body responsible for road maintenance may be liable for damages.

Depending on the damages associated with the crash, victims may be eligible to obtain compensation for various expenses that may be related to incident:

Should you have a case and decide to hire our firm, we will work to obtain the information that helps us to build strong argument for the damages being pursued in the lawsuit.

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.

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...

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...

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...
