E-scooters and other powered personal transport devices are becoming an increasingly common sight on our roads and pavements.
While they offer a convenient and eco-friendly way to travel, they also present risks. Because riders are largely unprotected, accidents involving e-scooters or powered transport can lead to serious injuries, for the rider and for pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving an e-scooter or powered transport device, you may be entitled to claim compensation. At Lanyon Bowdler, our specialist road traffic accident solicitors have the expertise to guide you through the process. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial impact of these accidents, and we are here to secure the compensation and support you need to aid your recovery.
We handle many cases on a no win, no fee basis, meaning there is no financial risk to you if your claim is unsuccessful.
You may be entitled to claim compensation if you have been injured while using an e-scooter, e-bike, or another powered transport device, and the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence. This might include a collision with another road user, an accident caused by poorly maintained roads or pavements, or an incident linked to a defective or faulty scooter.
In some cases, the responsible party cannot be identified, such as in a hit-and-run accident, but you may still be able to make a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, which exists to help victims of uninsured or untraceable drivers.
Eligibility is not limited to riders alone. If you were injured as a pedestrian, cyclist, or another road user in a collision with an e-scooter or powered transport device, you may also have grounds to bring a claim.
Every situation is different, which is why it’s important to seek specialist advice as soon as possible. Our experienced solicitors will assess the details of your accident, explain your options clearly, and guide you on the best route forward to secure the compensation and support you need.
At Lanyon Bowdler, we have long been recognised as one of the leading personal injury firms in the country.

These cases often present unique legal challenges, from questions of liability to the evolving regulatory framework, and our solicitors are well placed to guide you through every stage of the process with clarity and confidence.

With Lanyon Bowdler, you can be assured that your case will be handled by a dedicated team who combine legal excellence with genuine care and understanding.
Yes. Although privately-owned e-scooters are currently illegal to use on public roads, pavements, and cycle lanes in the UK, if you are injured in an accident that was not your fault, you may still be able to bring a compensation claim. The circumstances of each case will determine how liability is assessed.
If you were injured as a pedestrian, cyclist, or driver in a collision with an e-scooter, you may still be entitled to make a claim against the rider, their insurer (if applicable), or another responsible party, such as a local authority if poor road conditions played a part.
Accidents often result in broken bones, head injuries, spinal injuries, and soft tissue damage. Even at low speeds, the lack of protection for riders makes them particularly vulnerable. Compensation can help cover treatment, rehabilitation, and any financial losses linked to the accident.
If an accident involves an uninsured or untraceable e-scooter rider, the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) may step in to provide compensation, much like in car accidents involving uninsured drivers.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident, or from the date you became aware of your injuries, to begin a claim. Different rules apply for children and those lacking mental capacity, where the time limit can be extended.
Yes. Most e-scooter and powered transport claims can be pursued on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning you don’t pay legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful.
