The Factors that affect the Value of Your Bird Injury Claim

What are the average settlements for Bird scooter injury lawsuits? A Bird scooter injury case can be worth much more or much less than you might have assumed. The truth of the matter is that the value of your Bird scooter accident claim can vary depending on the details of your accident. Some of the factors must be thoroughly evaluated to determine the value of your Bird scooter injury claim are discussed below:

• The injuries you sustained – all injuries suffered during personal injury accidents are associated with specific values. Minor injuries could be worth up to $25,000, while moderate injuries could be worth up to $75,000. Consider some of the most common injuries caused by scooter accidents; foot and ankle injuries can be worth tens of thousands of dollars and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. Victims of Bird scooter injuries could suffer many more injuries besides foot and ankle injuries; therefore, the value associated with their injuries can significantly increase the potential value of their claims.
• Whether you were comparatively negligent – a victim’s comparative negligence can also affect the value of a claim. If a victim’s negligent actions led to the accident and his or her injuries, the victim will likely be found comparatively negligent. For instance, if you were struck by a Bird scooter after you jumped into the bike lane to avoid a hazard on the sidewalk, you might be found comparatively negligent. Comparative negligence is established with percentages; therefore, the value of your claim (or the compensation that you could recover) would be decreased by the percentage you were found to be comparatively negligent.
• The insurance policy limits that apply – the value of your scooter injury claim could also be affected by the insurance policy limits that apply to your claim. A policy limit is the maximum amount of coverage available or the maximum amount of damages that a claimant could recover. If a policy limit is too low, the victim might not be eligible to recover the full value of their claim. What policy limit applies to your claim against Bird? Unfortunately, because Bird is self-insured, information about their insurance is virtually unavailable to the public.

In addition to the factors listed above, there are many other factors that could affect the value of your claim against Bird.

If you believe that your Bird scooter accident was caused by a defective product, you must also follow these additional steps to preserve your right to file a product liability claim against Bird:

• Keep the defective scooter. In product liability claims, the defective product is the most important piece of evidence. Therefore, you must try to take the defective scooter to your house for safe-keeping. If you cannot keep the defective scooter, you should take many pictures highlighting the defect that caused your accident and your injuries.
• Leave the scooter as it is. If you take the defective scooter home for safe-keeping, it could be tempting to tamper with the defect or even try to repair it.
