Riding The Risk: Micromobility In Personal Injury

We have all been there: you're standing at a set of traffic lights waiting to cross the road. The green man appears, and you take your first step. Out of the corner of your eye you see an e-scooter hurtling towards you at speed with an apparent disregard to the red light for road traffic. Luckily, you manage to get yourself back onto the pavement quickly and the e-scooter flies past. You avoid a collision, but it was close.

The upward trend in collisions involving micromobility is an unfortunate but real side effect of the widespread availability and use of e-scooters and e-bikes. The speeds involved in these collisions and heavy weights of the equipment can cause serious and lasting injuries to pedestrians.
