$E-Scooter Accident FAQ

Does the Scooter App Waiver Stop My Claim?

Not necessarily. To unlock a shared scooter, you tap through an app agreement that usually includes a liability waiver and an arbitration clause. Companies rely on them to discourage claims, but they are not the ironclad shield people assume, and their reach and enforceability have limits.

A liability waiver generally cannot excuse a company's own gross negligence, so if your injury came from a poorly maintained or defective scooter, or the company's own careless conduct, the waiver may not apply. Its enforceability can also turn on how it was presented. And a claim against a defective scooter's maker is separate from the company's waiver entirely.

Arbitration clauses can likewise be challenged in some circumstances. The point is that these agreements should be reviewed, not assumed to control. If you were hurt on or by a shared scooter, it is worth having the actual terms and your situation evaluated before concluding you have no claim.
