Accidents involving scooters and pedestrians are becoming increasingly common throughout Kentucky, especially in busy shopping centers and intersections. With more drivers and pedestrians sharing the same spaces, the risk of serious collisions has grown significantly.
Data from the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety shows that hundreds of pedestrians and riders are injured each year in traffic-related crashes. Many of these incidents occur because drivers fail to yield, become distracted, or misjudge the movements of smaller vehicles like scooters and bicycles.
Victims of scooter accidents often suffer serious injuries such as broken bones, concussions, spinal cord damage, and internal trauma. Recovery can require weeks or even months of medical care, leaving families struggling with expensive hospital bills, lost income, and emotional distress.
In these cases, seeking legal guidance from an experienced personal injury lawyer is essential.
