Risks of Using Electric Scooters in NJ: Insurance and Safety Concerns | | |
|
It is summertime, and the use of electric scooters have become a popular method of transportation. Generally, owning and operating a scooter does not require a license, registration or insurance. Unfortunately, operators of low speed electric scooters may not be eligible for personal injury protection and/or uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits under their automobile policies if they are involved in an accident while operating their scooter. Without the protections of your automobile coverage, someone seriously injured while riding a scooter could have their ability to recover for their injuries jeopardized. If you or your loved ones operate low speed electric scooters on the roads of New Jersey, you may be putting yourself at risk. | | |

Celebrating a Remarkable Triumph: $475,000 Settlement Achieved in Pedestrian Knock-Down Case | |
In a recent heartwarming success story, a $475,000 settlement was secured for a client who endured a life-altering pedestrian knock-down accident. The incident occurred when the client was struck by an inattentive driver while walking through a shopping mall parking lot. The impact led to a head injury and post-concussion syndrome, forcing her to give up her job as a bank teller due to ongoing cognitive impairments. The journey to justice spanned over two challenging years, but with compelling evidence and unwavering dedication, victory was achieved. The substantial settlement not only alleviates the financial strain on the client but also underscores the importance of fighting for justice. | | |

Overcoming significant hurdles, including dispositive motions and deposition sessions, our determination remained unyielding in the pursuit of justice. We successfully compelled the Defendants to concede to appropriate policy limits. This triumph underscores our commitment to safeguarding client rights and showcases the power of meticulous legal advocacy. | | |
