(864) 582-0416 Injuries sustained in Vespa/motor scooter accidents in Spartanburg are often severe. Some may lead to permanent medical issues. If you suffered from someone’s negligent behavior while riding a scooter, you can seek compensation.
While the process seems complicated, you don’t have to go through it alone. An experienced motorcycle collision attorney at Holland & Usry can help handle all the legal issues while you gain time to recuperate. Having a legal team on your side can simplify matters and improve your chances of claiming fair compensation.
Not all actions that lead to motor scooter accidents in Spartanburg warrant a personal injury claim. However, if the crash occurred because someone acted negligently, you may have a strong case. Some examples of such causes are:
Drivers who look away from the road to eat or text can easily overlook smaller vehicles like scooters.
Motorists sometimes ignore the right-of-way of scooter riders at intersections, especially during turns.
Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of impact in a collision. Scooter riders are especially vulnerable to high-speed accidents.
Impaired drivers are less aware of their surroundings and more likely to cause severe accidents involving smaller vehicles.
If the driver switches lanes without checking the blind spot, they can easily collide with your scooter because it’s harder to see than larger vehicles.
If there is a pothole on the road or uneven pavement that’s hard to spot, the scooter rider may get into a serious accident. If the local or federal government fails to maintain roads, it may be liable.
As a Vespa rider, you lack the protection of a vehicle frame that other motorists enjoy. This can lead to severe injuries. We at Holland & Usry can explain whether the circumstances of the accident involve someone’s negligence. If so, then you probably have a case.
Proving negligence is key to any personal injury case. Negligence is failing to act safely and causing injuries. For example, drivers on the road have a duty to follow traffic laws. If they break them by ignoring the scooter’s right of way, they are acting negligently.
To prove negligence after a Vespa accident in Spartanburg, your attorney will gather evidence like the police report and investigative file if needed, video footage of the crash if it can be obtained, and witness statements. If needed, an attorney can hire an expert called an “accident reconstructionist,” who can re-create the crash based on the evidence to prove fault and severity. Next, they will assist you with gathering evidence that proves how much you suffered because of these negligent actions.
If you sustained injuries in a motor scooter accident in Spartanburg, you likely need medical treatment. Meanwhile, the doctor may order you to take time off work. All the expenses related to the treatment, recovery, and lost wages are the at-fault party’s responsibility.
