This is one of many factors our lawyers are ready to review to determine if you have a case. Some of the liable parties for a scooter accident could include:
It is difficult to estimate the potential compensation you may be able to recover from your scooter accident because unique circumstances may impact your case value, including who is found liable for your damages, the severity of your injuries and whether you shared any fault for the accident.
If you have a case, you may be able to recover compensation for:
Under Arizona’s comparative negligence law, if you contributed to the accident, you are not barred from filing a claim against the other responsible party. However, any damages you receive must be reduced by your percentage of fault.
In practice this would mean if you were found to be 10 percent responsible for the accident and you suffered $100,000 in damages, you would only receive $90,000, if your attorney is able to recover full compensation.
If you have questions about the potential value of our claim, call us today to speak to a qualified Glendale scooter accident attorney.
Our licensed attorneys have an established history of recovering compensation for injury victims in Arizona. We assist our clients with all aspects of their case, including taking care of the following important matters:
There is a two-year statute of limitations in Arizona for personal injury claims, including vehicle accident claims (Arizona Revised Statutes 12-542).
However, there are exceptions to this law which may lengthen or shorten your deadline. For example, if a government entity was responsible for your injuries, your timeline to file a lawsuit is 180 days from the date of the accident.
Since each case is unique, we recommend contacting our licensed Glendale scooter accident attorneys to determine the deadline that applies in your case.

In April 2019, Arizona passed Senate Bill 1398, which established statewide definitions for small scooters. Under this law, scooter riders have the same rights and responsibilities as cyclists unless there is a local regulation to the contrary.
Scooters are classified under one of two categories:
Characteristics of an electric miniature scooter under Arizona law include the following:
An electric standup scooter has the following characteristics:
If your scooter does not fall under one of the categories above or runs above 20 miles per hour, moped laws apply. Mopeds must be insured and registered with the state. They must have a unique identification, consisting of letters, numbers or both that is visible from at least five feet away.
If the scooter travels faster than 25 miles per hour and has a higher horsepower than typical mopeds, motorcycle laws apply. Drivers under 18 must wear helmets and all drivers must wear eye protection. A driver must have a valid license and insurance. These vehicles cannot be driven in bike lanes or on sidewalks. They are generally permitted to go on highways if they meet speed requirements.
Our Glendale scooter accident lawyers can review these regulations to determine what applies to your accident. We have many years of combined experience building robust cases for accident victims.
