How can we help?
As e-scooters become increasingly popular across towns and cities in the UK, the number of serious accidents involving these devices is also on the rise. A head injury from an e-scooter accident can have life-altering consequences, ranging from mild concussion symptoms to long-term brain damage. If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury as a result of an e-scooter accident that wasn’t your fault, Stephensons can help you seek compensation and get the support you need during your recovery.
A head injury from an e-scooter accident typically refers to any trauma to the scalp, skull, or brain as a result of a collision or fall while riding or being struck by an e-scooter. These injuries can vary from minor cuts and bruises to more serious conditions such as skull fractures, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), or cerebral contusions. Common causes include collisions with vehicles, potholes or uneven road surfaces, faulty e-scooters, or negligent road use by e-scooter riders or other road users.
E-scooters are often used without helmets, which significantly increases the risk of head injuries. Riders, pedestrians, and other road users are all potentially at risk, especially in busy urban areas where visibility and reaction times can be limited.
Yes, if you’ve suffered a head injury in an e-scooter accident due to someone else’s negligence or a defective product, you could be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim. Compensation may cover lost earnings, medical treatment, rehabilitation, support services, travel expenses, and the pain and suffering caused by the injury.

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to bring a personal injury claim. However, exceptions apply, for example if the injured person is under 18 or lacks mental capacity. Other exceptions apply too, so it’s always best to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Useful evidence includes medical reports, photographs of the scene and injuries, details of the e-scooter (including make, model and any rental scheme information), witness contact details, and police or accident reports if applicable. We can help you gather and compile this information.
You may still be able to claim compensation even if you were not wearing a helmet. However, the amount awarded could be reduced if it is determined that wearing a helmet would have lessened the severity of your injuries.
If the e-scooter was part of a rental trial or scheme, there may be specific insurance or liability arrangements in place. Our solicitors can assess who is responsible and whether any third parties, including the rental company, can be held accountable.
Yes. In cases where the injured person is under 18 or lacks the capacity to make legal decisions, a parent, guardian, or close relative may act as a litigation friend to pursue the claim on their behalf.
