Electric bikes and scooters have gained popularity as an efficient and cost-effective means of transportation in Tucson. However, as their usage increases, so do the chances of accidents involving these vehicles. When an accident occurs, determining fault and understanding how insurance factors into the equation can be a complex and confusing process.
Understanding Your Rights and Options
This comprehensive article is here to help you gain clarity on your rights and options if you’ve been involved in an e-bike or scooter accident in Tucson. We’ll guide you through the steps to determine if you deserve compensation for your injuries and how to go about documenting your case to ensure you receive fair compensation.
Deserving Compensation for Your Injuries
If you’ve suffered injuries in an e-bike or scooter accident, you deserve to be compensated for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages. However, insurance companies may try to minimize their liability or offer you a settlement that doesn’t fully cover your losses. That’s where legal assistance becomes crucial.
Understanding Arizona’s At-Fault System
It’s essential to recognize that Arizona operates under an at-fault insurance system when it comes to accidents. In this system, the party found to be at fault for the accident is responsible for covering all the associated damages. If fault is shared among multiple parties, the damages will be apportioned based on the degree of liability assigned to each party involved.

Unique Considerations for E-Bikes in Arizona
In Arizona, e-bikes are not classified as motor vehicles, which means they are subject to their own set of laws concerning their operation on roadways. This distinction is crucial when determining liability in e-bike accidents. These laws may differ from those that apply to traditional motor vehicles, making it even more imperative to have a knowledgeable legal advocate by your side.
