Other Vehicle Accidents
Shared scooters are everywhere in the Twin Cities. Learn how injuries on e-scooters are handled in Minnesota.
A Growing Source of Injuries
Shared e-scooters in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and other cities have brought new injury risks — falls, collisions with vehicles, and crashes from defective scooters or poor road conditions.
Who May Be Liable
Depending on the cause, liability may involve a negligent driver, the scooter company (for a defective device), or a government entity (for dangerous road conditions). User agreements can complicate claims.
Insurance Questions
Coverage for scooter injuries is complex. Auto PIP may apply when a vehicle is involved, while other situations require different analysis.
Document the Incident
Photos, the scooter's identifying information, and witness details all help. Given the legal complexity, a free review is worthwhile.
