Chicago Lyft Scooter Accident Lawyer

The electric scooter invasion began in Spring 2018 when several companies started the electric scooter, or e-scooter, ride-share rentals. While e-scooter ride-share is relatively new, the concept of ride-sharing is not. With the arrival of e-scooter ride-share services, people can travel more efficiently.

Some companies that started in the automobile ride-share business have expanded to electric scooters. In 2018, Lyft launched its e-scooter ride-share service called Lyft Scooter.

What is Lyft Scooter?

Lyft Scooter is an e-scooter service that lets Lyft users rent a scooter for up to 12 hours. To rent a Lyft e-scooter, you have to download the Lyft Scooter app first. To start the e-scooter scan the barcode on the handlebars. Once you have finish riding, park the e-scooter in a safe spot.

Safety and Lyft e-scooters

E-scooters are a great way to save money on gas, protect the environment and save time. Like motor vehicle drivers, e-scooter riders must obey the traffic laws and ride safely.

Lyft Scooter has rules for its e-scooter users to follow to ensure that they ride safely to protect themselves and others from harm. Some of its requirements are:

  • Obey the traffic laws
  • Must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license
  • Do not ride with more than one person on the scooter at a time
  • Park the scooter out of the way of pedestrians and vehicles

Illinois law does not require e-scooter riders to wear a helmet. However, Lyft Scooter strongly recommends its users wear one.

Laws regulating e-scooters

The law finds it hard to keep up with the ever-changing technological advances. With the rise of e-scooters, laws have not yet caught up with the industry. Illinois does not have laws to regulate the use of e-scooters. However, a recent law, regulating e-scooters, has been proposed. The new law, if passed, would require:

  • ID card, driver license or another form of ID
  • Minimum age limit
  • Where people can ride electric scooters
  • Safety precautions

Currently, riders using Lyft e-scooters are subject to the general driving and traffic laws of Illinois. Without specific e-scooter laws, people will have to look at the available traffic laws.

E-scooters sharing the sidewalk with pedestrians is dangerous. The Lyft e-scooters can reach a top speed of approximately 15 miles per hour. This speed can be very dangerous to pedestrians. Pedestrians may get hit by an e-scooter and get injured.

Hiring an attorney

If you were injured in a Lyft e-scooter accident, you might need to file a lawsuit to get the compensation you deserve. Lawsuits are time-consuming and complex, so it is best to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney representing you.
