Compensation Our Scooter Accident Lawyers Pursue
A scooter accident can leave you facing far more than immediate medical bills, especially if you suffer a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or another severe injury. At Meldon Law, we take the time to understand the full impact the crash has had on your life, physically, emotionally, and financially. Our goal is simple: pursue every dollar you need to move forward with confidence. We know how to build strong cases that reflect the true cost of your injuries.
Economic Damages
These are the financial losses you can clearly document, but they often reach far beyond the hospital bill you receive on day one. We may seek compensation for:
- Emergency medical treatment
- Hospitalization, surgeries, and specialist care
- Physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and long-term rehabilitation
- Follow-up visits, prescriptions, and medical equipment
- Out-of-pocket expenses, such as transportation to medical appointments or home modifications
- Property damage, including repair or replacement of your scooter and any personal items damaged in the crash
If your injuries will require long-term care or repeated medical interventions, we make sure those future costs are factored into your claim, not overlooked or minimized by insurance companies. We also ensure the insurance company doesn’t attempt to blame your pain on pre-existing conditions.
We are here for you 24/7
(Consultations are Free)
Non-Economic Damages
Some losses don’t come with a receipt, but they still change your life in very real ways. Meldon Law fights for compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and anxiety
- Loss of enjoyment of daily activities
- Disability or disfigurement
- Impact on your independence or mobility
We understand that scooter accident injuries can take away the simple pleasures of everyday life, like walking your dog, meeting friends, or enjoying The Villages’ active lifestyle. Your non-economic damages help account for those losses.
Wrongful Death Damages
If you lost a loved one in a scooter accident, we extend our deepest compassion. While no amount of money can make up for your loss, financial support can help relieve some of the burdens that follow a tragedy. We may pursue:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Final medical bills
- Loss of companionship and guidance
- Pain and suffering
Our team handles these cases with sensitivity and care, ensuring your family receives the support and respect you deserve.
How We Prove Liability After a Scooter Accident
Proving who caused your scooter accident is essential to protecting your right to compensation. At Meldon Law, we move quickly to gather the evidence needed to show exactly how the crash happened and who is responsible. We:
- Review the crash report: We examine the officer’s findings, roadway observations, and any citations issued.
- Interview witnesses: We secure statements early, while memories are fresh.
- Collect video footage: Nearby home cameras, business cameras, and traffic cameras often capture critical details.
- Inspect the scene and vehicle damage: This helps us understand impact points, visibility issues, and dangerous conditions.
- Work with experts when needed: Accident reconstruction specialists or medical experts can strengthen your case.
We also protect you from blame. Insurance companies often try to shift fault onto the rider. We use solid evidence to challenge unfair accusations and safeguard your right to full compensation.

FAQs
What Should I Do After a Scooter Accident in The Villages?
Your safety comes first. Call 911 and get medical care, even if you feel only a bit of discomfort or soreness. Many injuries worsen over time. If you can, take photos of the scene, get the driver’s information, and gather contact details from witnesses. Avoid giving statements to insurance companies until you speak with an attorney. We’ll explain your rights, protect you from unfair blame, and guide you through your next steps.
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Scooter Accident Case?
While you aren’t legally required to have a lawyer, you want one. Scooter accidents often result in serious injuries, and insurers may attempt to downplay your damages or shift fault onto you. We can handle the insurance companies, gather evidence, prove liability, and fight for the full compensation you deserve. We take on the legal burden so you can focus on healing.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire Meldon Law?
It costs you nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win compensation for you. There are no retainers, no hourly fees, and no surprises. During your free consultation, we’ll clearly explain how our fee structure works so you feel comfortable and informed from day one.
How Long Do I Have to File a Scooter Accident Lawsuit in Florida?
Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the accident. Waiting too long can mean losing your right to compensation. Because evidence can disappear quickly, it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible so we can protect your case from the start.
