Injured Riding an Immotor Go Scooter?

Lever & Ecker, PLLC September 20, 2018 General

New York Electric Scooter Accident Attorneys

On September 11, 2018, LEVER & ECKER PLLC, together with the firm of HILLIARD MARTINEZ GONZALES, LLP, filed a lawsuit against Immotor, LLC in Federal Court, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on behalf of a client who sustained severe and permanent injuries while riding an Immotor GO electric scooter.

More particularly, while our client was riding his Immotor GO electric scooter on a clear afternoon in the Bronx, New York, the scooter’s brakes suddenly, improperly and without warning engaged, ejecting him from the scooter and throwing him to the ground, knocking him unconscious and causing him to suffer severe personal injuries.

Further, our client has alleged that Immotor was aware, at the time that he was injured, that its brakes on the Immotor GO would spontaneously stop working, yet Immotor took no steps to correct the design of the Immotor GO or to warn users to this dangerous condition.

This lawsuit is one of the first in the country to be filed against Immotor for the negligent design and manufacture of a defective Immotor GO scooter.

As this case demonstrates, electric scooters are more dangerous than they look! Multiple accidents have been reported already, just months after the introduction of electric scooters in New York.

While electric scooters are often viewed as a safe and convenient means of travel, as many riders are learning the hard way, convenience can come with a price. When it comes to electric scooters, that price can come in the form of accidents, injuries, and even deaths.

Widespread reports indicate the incidence of electric scooter accidents across the county is rapidly increasing, with the arrival of electric scooters in almost every state, including New York.
