Electric Scooter Accident: $1.1M Settlement Despite Being At Fault | Ontario
David’s case seemed impossible from the start. Uninsured scooter. Running a red light. Never checking for oncoming traffic. The case’s prospects looked bleak, if they existed at all.
David faced what appeared to be an unwinnable situation after a serious electric scooter collision. But Campisi Law’s e-scooter accident lawyers saw beyond the challenges and secured a $1.1 million recovery, proving that even the most complex liability scenarios can yield substantial results.
The Electric Scooter Collision That Changed Everything
In a split second, David’s scooter ride home became a complex legal challenge. David failed to check for oncoming traffic as he entered the road during a red light, riding his uninsured electric scooter without a helmet. As he went through the intersection, a city bus struck him and caused a brain injury. David faced weeks of hospitalization and rehabilitation that would test his fortitude.
Initial Assessment: An Impossible Case
David’s situation initially appeared legally hopeless:
- Significant fault attribution for running the red light and failing to check traffic
- Uninsured electric scooter creating coverage and right to sue complications
- Safety protocol violations including riding without a helmet
Many firms would have walked away.
The conventional wisdom suggested this case had no viable path to meaningful compensation.
David knew the legal challenges were overwhelming.
That’s when he came to Campisi Injury Lawyers.
Campisi Law: Finding Solutions Where Others See Dead Ends
When David engaged our services, we refused to accept that fault attribution meant zero recovery. Instead, we applied our deep understanding of electric scooter regulations in Ontario. We conducted an exhaustive analysis of his case and explored angles others had dismissed.
Our comprehensive investigation revealed:
Electric Scooter Law Expertise: We applied our deep understanding of electric scooter regulations to build a compelling legal argument regarding insurance requirements, successfully repositioning the fundamental legal framework of David’s case.
Bus Company Liability Investigation: Rather than focusing solely on David’s actions, we conducted a thorough investigation into the bus company’s operations and uncovered critical liability factors that other assessments had overlooked.
Comprehensive Impact Documentation: We documented both David’s physical trauma and the significant psychological effects of the accident. Despite his excellent pre-accident physical condition, the psychological impact complicated his recovery in ways that demanded full recognition and compensation.
The Settlement That Defied All Odds
Final Settlement: $1.1 Million
This extraordinary result included:
- Full recognition of the bus company’s responsibility
- Medical expenses for traumatic brain injury treatment and ongoing care
- Income replacement covering David’s lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering compensation for physical trauma and psychological impact
- Future care costs addressing long-term recovery needs
- $1.1 million in compensation despite major fault attribution
