St. Augustine's Largest Law Group
St. Augustine Scooter Accident Lawyer
Protecting Scooter Riders and Pedestrians in St. Johns County
From downtown St. Augustine’s historic streets to A1A and St. Augustine Beach, scooters are everywhere. Tourists rent them for quick transportation, and locals use them for convenience. Unfortunately, scooter accidents are common — especially when drivers don’t share the road, businesses fail to maintain safe rental scooters, or road conditions are dangerous.
At St. Johns Law Group, our scooter accident lawyers, including personal injury attorney Josh Saxon, fight for the rights of injured riders and pedestrians. As St. Augustine’s largest law firm, with over 265 years of combined legal experience, we have the resources and experience to hold negligent drivers, businesses, and insurers accountable.

FAQs: Scooter Accidents in St. Augustine
Q1: Can I sue a scooter rental company if the scooter was unsafe?
Yes. If the scooter was defective or poorly maintained, the rental company may be held liable.
Q2: What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
You may still recover damages, but the defense may argue your injuries were worsened. This is where comparative negligence applies.
Q3: Do I need a lawyer for a scooter accident?
Yes. Liability often involves multiple parties, including drivers, businesses, and insurers. An attorney protects your rights and builds your case.
Q4: How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
Most scooter accident claims must be filed within 2 years, but it’s best to act quickly so evidence isn’t lost.
Q5: What compensation can I recover?
Medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, property damage, and wrongful death damages may be available.
