Scooter Accidents in New Jersey
Electric scooters have grown in popularity across New Jersey, but with this rise comes increased risk on the roads. Unlike cars, scooters offer little protection to riders in a crash. Riders are exposed to direct impact, which can lead to devastating harm.
- Head Trauma: Riders often suffer concussions or traumatic brain injuries, even with helmets.
- Broken Bones: Arms, legs, and ribs are especially vulnerable during impact.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spine can cause partial or full paralysis.
- Internal Injuries: The force of a collision can cause organ damage, requiring emergency surgery.
- Severe Abrasions: Road rash and lacerations often lead to painful, lasting scars.
These injuries can have life-changing consequences. Victims may face mounting hospital bills, permanent disability, and the inability to return to work. In some cases, the emotional impact is just as severe, leaving families struggling to cope with the aftermath.
