    That is a risk everyone decides to take you are liable for your own actions, and safety. Just like riding a bike . It's common sense. Lime explains you ride at own risk.

    I ride my bike at night after work. These things are just randomly left all over the bike trails. They are hard to see. If i crash into one of them and 'hurt' myself, can i sue them too?

    There’s a lot of people out there that probably shouldn’t be riding these scooters. Not to mention, all the inebriated riders too. Lime should not be at fault here. It’s a good service and riders agree to ride at their own risk.

    So sue the company when it literally recommends you to wear safety gear before riding? Like you would any recreational sport - biking, skating, etc... How do you make it to adulthood with this level of lack of self accountability and incompetence? Also the guy is in a wheelchair literally ran into a car. How is that the company's fault? You made your own electric throne there, bud.

      As an equestrian I have seen stable owners rent horses that are known to be unsafe animals. Sometimes they even drug them so they won't be dangerous but it doesn't always work. This brings issues of liability and they should be criminally prosecuted.

  • @MarkovianMan
    @MarkovianMan Місяць тому +1

    No doubt there will be some kind of settlement in these cases, which is a shame because people who do not accept personal responsibility shouldn't be rewarded (especially if they are "scooting under the influence" or are otherwise negligent). Scooters come with injury risks, including the potential for collisions with cars. Many riders do not wear helmets (again, at their own risk).
    The scooters can also be a hazard to pedestrians and cyclists moving at slower speeds on city trails and sidewalks. Despite rider rules and city and Lime's safety efforts, riding on sidewalks remains a problem.
    With the dockless model, riders leave scooters and bikes littered across sidewalks and driveways and a multitude of other places. This problem could be largely solved, however, by eliminating the dockless model and requiring riders to return them to a designated docking station.

    I've been riding horses my entire life, including a Shetland stud at age 4, and two of my favorite horses are "widow makers". My current horse sent three previous owners to the hospital for CT scans, and have been a skier since I was 8, and ski the blacks. I'm older than I look so all of this without helmets. So I'm no stranger to injuries.
    But, I got the worst injury of my life on a Lime scooter this summer. I ran over a twig and the front wheel slid sideways propelling me right at a retaining wall that I was closer to than I wanted to be because there was actual lanes for two-way traffic. I happened to be wearing actual safety sunglasses with the ANSI Z87+ rating for impacts. Those glasses are the best purchase I ever made. I hit that wall so hard that one of the lenses was concave when my husband picked up my glasses. I broke my eye socket, had double vision for nearly a month. I didn't sue, but I do think those scooters are more dangerous than people assume.

    Electric scooters are dangerous. When you add the stupidity and ignorance of human beings who ride them in a wreckless manner is absolutely going to end poorly. What I mean by wreckless- riding them outside of EXACTLY what they were meant for. For example- at night in poorly lite areas, riding them while intoxicated, running through intersections without looking.

    If anything I would sue the city of Denver for not enforcing the safety of the riders. I have fallen off scooters numerous of times because of the large holes and dips in the streets, once i had to abandon a scooter because while in the bike lane behind parked cars the driver swore he didn't see me all though I saw him in passing a few times on this same road, he turned right in front of me into a parking lot causing me to break hard hitting the corner of his car and I tucked and rolled the rest of the way down.

    Well, you were warned before you input your credit card information of the risks.
    Now, they have your credit card information. That's all that matters to them.
    It's all a numbers game. The more people they cripple, the less crazy drivers there are to worry about on the road.

      I would like to think most of what u said is true...but majority of the riders are on the scooters not paying thanks to Limes partnership with Denver county which allows ppl on government assistance to ride the scooters for free for 30 minutes at a time and u can get 10 free rides a day.

    Lime tried to bull their way into Beverly Hills when I lived there (started renting scooters without city council authorization). Lime scooters piled up on sidewalks, making them dangerous and impassable especially in the dark and especially for the elderly. Beverly Hills city council sorted Lime out--this is a bad company that should be put out of business.

      Complain to Denver it's their fault. Denver the city brought lime here...hell blame that rush of new commers to the city before the pandemic they wanted a more green way to travel around hints all these bike lanes. Lime use to fine the rider for not leaving the scooter in an assigned area, but many would take the fee versus having to walk 2 blocks or more to their destination.
