What Our Clients Are Saying

I had an excellent experience with The Capital Law Firm, P.C. after a car accident. They provided outstanding service, were very professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. Everything was handled smoothly and stress-free, and in the end, I received a great settlement. I’m truly grateful for their help and would highly recommend them.

If you’ve been injured in an accident and don’t know who to go to or what to do, you NEED to hire The Capital Law Firm. You don’t pay anything up front, and they fight to get you the maximum settlement possible.

I was rear ended by an UNINSURED driver and didn’t know what to do. Josh, the attorney, was so kind, and Nicole the case manager in handling everything. They made sure to go above and beyond with everything.

I was able to get the medical treatment I needed with no out of pocket costs. They were able to negotiate and reduce my medical bills to get max compensation for me.

So thankful for this amazing firm and all you did for me

I want to very much say thank you to Joshua Zokaeem and his staff for the way my car accident case was handled. I generally am not one to leave reviews but the way my case was handled and the way I was treated was special and far above expectation. From my initial call with their law office – I had the pleasure of talking to attorney Josh. He provided me such a thorough breakdown of what was going to happen along with a few similar cases that he settled. After I forwarded him all the photos and information, he quickly had me set up with a doctor. Both him and his assistant Brittany made sure to check in with me almost every week to see how i was feeling.

After all my visits he got me a settlement that was extremely high in my opinion and I was so happy. They quickly reduced all my medical bills and ambulance bill and I was able to have my check sent to me via overnight delivery. Everyone at his office cares for your case and they literally handled everything and are always easy to reach. Thanks so much to this team they are one of a kind and as advertised.

What to do if you’ve been injured in an accident:

Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Ensure Authorities are contacted and document the scene. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained, don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
Collect as much information as possible. You or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information too.
Take photographs. Photograph the scene, your injuries, the causing factors of the accident, and anything you think may be relevant. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.

The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact our experienced California Personal Injury lawyers at Capital Law Firm to learn more about filing a claim.

People in passenger vehicles are surrounded by a steel frame, seat belt restraint systems, and airbags, while scooter users are exposed to more hazards on the open road.

Some of the most common types of accidents plaguing scooter riders involve the following:

Head Injuries
Road Rash & Abrasions
Fractures
Strains & Sprains
Contusions & Hematomas
Spinal Cord Injuries
Facial Injuries
Internal Injuries
Soft Tissue Injuries
Psychological Trauma

We can also represent family members who have lost loved ones in a Scooter Accident.

Common Causes of Electric Scooter Collisions in California

Electric scooter accidents can be caused by several factors, including:

Speeding: Scooters can reach high speeds quickly, and riders often lose control if they’re riding too fast for conditions.
Lack of safety gear: Many riders fail to wear helmets or other protective gear, which increases the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident.
Inexperienced riders: E-scooter riders may not be familiar with how to operate the scooter safely, leading to crashes or falls.
Obstacles on the road: Pedestrians, potholes, debris, and uneven surfaces can cause riders to lose control of the scooter, leading to accidents.
Defective scooters: In some cases, the scooter itself may be faulty or improperly maintained, contributing to accidents.
Poor road conditions: Streets are not always well-suited for scooters, and poorly maintained roads or bike lanes can lead to accidents.
Other vehicles: In accidents involving motor vehicles, drivers may fail to notice or yield to scooters, leading to collisions.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for My Scooter Accident?

Responsibility for scooter accidents in California, like in most places, depends on the specific circumstances of the accident and who is found to be at fault. Responsibility can be attributed to different parties, including:

Motorists: In many cases, motorists are responsible for accidents involving electric scooters. This can result from actions such as failing to yield the right of way, distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence, running red lights or stop signs, or engaging in other negligent behaviors. Motorists have a duty to exercise care and share the road safely with scooter riders.
Scooter Riders: Electris Scooter users can also be responsible for accidents. This might occur if they violate traffic laws, such as running a red light, not using hand signals for turns, or riding against traffic. Riders are expected to follow the same traffic rules as motorists.
Other Parties: Sometimes, accidents may be caused by the negligence of other parties, such as pedestrians who step into the path of a scooter rider without looking, or even other scooter users who act negligently, leading to collisions.
Unsafe Road Conditions: In some cases, accidents may be due to unsafe road conditions, such as potholes, debris, or poorly maintained roadways. In such instances, responsibility might fall on the entity responsible for maintaining the road.
Vehicle or Scooter Defects: Occasionally, accidents may result from defects in a motor vehicle, such as faulty brakes or defective parts. In such cases, the manufacturer or maintenance entity could share responsibility.

It’s important to establish fault and liability in the event of a Scooter Accident as this can determine who is responsible for compensating you for medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses.
