Compensation for Lime, Bird and Go X Accidents

What is an e-scooter?

An electric scooter is a self-propelled transportation device. It usually has two wheels. The operator stands on a platform with one foot while using the other foot to steer and balance against the ground.

How our lawyers can help you

There are multiple e-scooter companies on the market. These companies rent scooters on city streets. People who rent them can sail down the sidewalks in cities throughout Hawaii.

Lime, Bird and Go X are just some of the e-scooter companies in the rental business. While lucrative for the companies and the municipalities that allow them to operate, they also produce serious injuries.

Victims may receive compensation. Our experienced Hawaii scooter accident lawyers are in the fight with you. We take a personalized approach to addressing client needs. We are passionate about achieving results for our clients.

What is the most common injury on a scooter?

40% of scooter injuries are head injuries including traumatic brain injury and skull trauma.

In addition, 32% of scooter injuries are fractures. Sprains and bruises without fracture account for another 28% of scooter injuries. (UCLA, Fractures, head injuries common).

Common scooter injuries

Here are some common scooter injuries which may be the basis for compensation:

Concussion, traumatic brain injury
Skull fracture
Broken bones
Cuts and bruises
Internal organ damage
Injury to vision
Death

Although scooters may travel at relatively low speeds compared to vehicles, accidents can cause serious injury. Most victims are operating the scooter, but bystanders can be victims, too.

Most scooter riders don’t wear helmets. Even at low speeds, injuries may be serious.

What are the causes of scooter accidents?

There are many underlying causes of scooter accidents, including:

Vehicle or scooter operators going too fast for pedestrian traffic in the area
Drivers failing to observe right of way laws and stop for a scooter in a crosswalk
Inadequate maintenance including deflated or defective wheels
Poor scooter design
Failing to warn an operator of risks and how to operate safely
Bad weather or road conditions that an operator doesn’t account for
Inexperience and a lack of caution for the various hazards of operating a scooter
Not paying enough attention to the task of operating
Carrying or transporting packages while riding
A motor vehicle departing from the lane of travel into the path of a scooter operator

Understanding the causes of a scooter accident may require an investigation. We determine who has legal fault for the accident and how to claim compensation.

Who may be at fault for a scooter accident?

Parties who may be at fault for a scooter accident are:

The scooter company
A motor vehicle driver
Party responsible for sidewalk or road maintenance
Operator of the scooter
Other pedestrians and bystanders

Liability for a pedestrian accident is based on negligence. It may also be based on defective product laws. We determine how to claim compensation and what you may receive for your injury.

I had the pleasure of working with Glenn and George at the Honolulu Pride event in Honolulu. They were an awesome team to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to a family member or friend if they ever needed a Personal Injury Attorney!

Mr. Glenn Honda is a true professional and excellent attorney. He has been my attorney for 18 years. When I started my business, he assisted me in writing my contract. He also wrote letters for me when I encountered problematic situations. He completed my Living Trust and Last Will and Testament. Mr. Honda is astute and doesn’t leave any stone unturned. He is unequivocally the best attorney. I convey, via this rating tool, my highest recommendation.

I'm so glad I met Glenn. He's honest, smart, and approachable. Glenn gave great advice during the initial consultation (free of charge, by the way). Through his guidance, I negotiated a settlement with the insurance company. His staff is great, too — professional, respectful, skilled and kind. The location of his office is convenient.

In 2010 I opened my business called Sophisticated Facial and Nail Spa; then I had an accident. I tried to move a safe out of my business and it fell on my whole body. The safe weighed over 3,000 pounds. I was in the hospital for 29 days and when I got out of the hospital I called my insurance company and they told me that this accident wouldn't be covered under my business insurance. So I contacted a couple different attorneys but none of them would take on my case. I hired a company to paint my business and then she saw that my hand had a big scar. She asked me what happened to my elbow. I told her I had an accident here at my business and my business insurance company wouldn't cover it. She asked me if I had an attorney and I explained that I went to a couple of attorneys and none of them would take on my case. She recommended an attorney by the name of Glenn Honda. I contacted him and he took my case. Glenn was very passionate and explained to me that I have a good case. In the end Glenn won my case and as a favor to me because of everything I went through that he would give me a discount and not take as much as he normally does. Glenn settled my case in less than one year. I would highly recommend Glenn Honda for any personal injury accidents. Thank you Glenn Honda for all of your help and support with my case.
