Florida’s warm climate and sunny weather make driving a moped or scooter a leisurely, more economical way to travel to work and explore the Miami area while on vacation. However – just as motorcycles are often not seen by other motorists until it is too late – scooter and moped accidents can and do happen, even when the rider is taking every safety precaution possible.

If you were hit by a car while riding your moped or scooter – even if you didn’t have a valid license or weren’t wearing a helmet – you may be entitled to compensation from the motorist who hit you, so talk with Miami personal injury lawyer Justin Ziegler today. Call 1-888-JZ-HELPS (1-888-594-3577) or e-mail as soon as possible after your moped or scooter accident to make sure your rights are protected.

If you were injured while riding a moped, Vespa or other motorized scooter, your no-fault/personal injury protection (PIP) insurance will not cover your accident or injuries. However, because your accident does not fall under PIP, you do not have to prove a permanent injury to receive money for your pain and suffering. Attorney Justin Ziegler can explain the law concerning moped and scooter accidents, as well as how to proceed in filing a personal injury claim against the motorist who hit you.

Act as soon as possible to protect your rights

It is important to talk with a qualified and experienced lawyer as soon as possible after your moped accident or your family member’s fatal scooter injury. There are very specific deadlines for filing personal injury and wrongful death claims for moped and scooter accidents in Florida. In most cases, you have four years from the date of the crash to file a claim, and that time can pass quickly if you are dealing with serious injuries, permanent disabilities, or adapting to a new way of life.

To schedule a free consultation to discuss your scooter or moped accident with Miami attorney Justin Ziegler, call 1-888-JZ-HELPS (1-888-594-3577) or e-mail our law firm. We will immediately begin to evaluate your claim, explain your victim’s rights to compensation, and help you pursue compensation for your moped or scooter injury.
