Hurt on or by an E-Scooter?
New Vehicles, Unsettled Insurance — and Real Injuries.
Standing e-scooters offer almost no protection in a crash, and the insurance picture is far messier than a car case. Coverage may come from the driver who hit you, the scooter operator's own policy, a rental company's commercial policy, a manufacturer for a defective brake or battery, or a municipality for a road defect. Rental apps also collect ride telemetry that can prove exactly how the crash happened — if it is demanded before the data cycles out. We identify every avenue of recovery early.
Why Choose Us
Why Injured Clients Choose Raytsin Law Firm PC
We Untangle the Coverage
Auto liability, no-fault, rental company policies, product manufacturers, and municipal claims. We pursue each source rather than settling with the easiest one.
App & Telemetry Evidence
Rental scooters record speed, route, and braking. We demand that data, plus maintenance and prior-defect records, before it disappears.
Pedestrians Represented Too
If you were struck by an e-scooter or e-bike on a sidewalk or crosswalk, we pursue the rider, and any commercial employer such as a delivery service.
No Fee Unless We Win
Free case review and contingency representation, with expert and investigation costs advanced by the firm.

Cases We Handle
E-Scooter & Micromobility Cases We Handle
Struck by a Motor Vehicle
Right hooks, failure to yield, and drivers who never look for a scooter in the bike lane cause most serious rider injuries.
Dooring Collisions
A door opened into the bike lane gives a rider no time to react. Drivers and passengers of parked vehicles can both be liable.
Defective Brakes & Steering
Failed brakes, cracked stems, and locked wheels are product liability claims against the manufacturer or rental operator.
Battery Fires & Burns
Lithium battery failures in scooters and e-bikes cause severe burns and apartment fires. Manufacturers and distributors can be held accountable.
Road Defects & Debris
Potholes, sunken plates, and construction debris eject riders instantly. Municipal claims carry short filing deadlines.
Pedestrians Hit by Scooters
We also represent pedestrians struck on sidewalks and in crosswalks, including collisions involving commercial delivery riders.
