E-Scooter Compensation Claims (Insured vs. Uninsured)

If your e-scooter injury claims were caused by a rental e-scooter, the rider will be insured. This streamlines the process, allowing you to claim compensation by following the same process you would with a car or motorcycle.

However, if you’ve been involved in an accident with a private e-scooter, the rider is most likely uninsured. This means your claim will be dealt with by the Motor Insurer’s Bureau (MIB). Remember, you don’t have to be the e-scooter rider to raise a claim! Anyone who receives an injury due to an e-scooter accident is eligible to make a claim.

What are the Most Common Causes of E-Scooter Accidents?

Our e-scooter accident claims solicitors frequently deal with claims arising from:

Negligent Riding Behaviour: Risky actions such as riding under the influence, using a mobile phone, or ignoring traffic signals. Reckless or distracted riding often results in avoidable collisions and injuries.
Collisions with Vehicles/Pedestrians: Accidents often occur at junctions or in shared-use spaces, caused by visibility issues or misjudgement of speed by either party.
Lack of Protective Gear: Many riders fail to wear essential protective equipment such as helmets, increasing the risk of serious injury.
Poor Road Infrastructure: Uneven road surfaces, potholes, lack of dedicated cycle lanes, and inadequate lighting can make riding hazardous, leading to riders losing control.

Key Legal Distinctions

Despite being a recent addition to our roads, E-scooters fall under the same laws as cars and other motor vehicles in the UK. This legal classification means that you must have a driving licence and insurance to ride an e-scooter on public UK roads.
Insurance is provided by the hire company if you hire, and you need at least a provisional licence to access them legally.

All e-scooter rental operators must provide insurance cover as part of a rental agreement. These can only be ridden on the road or cycle lanes.

These are not permitted to be used on public roads. This is critical because they cannot be covered by insurance.
