Jury Awards $1.9M to Teen Struck by Car While Riding E-Scooter

A Minnesota jury awards $1.9 million to a teen injured by a car while riding an e-scooter in a crosswalk. Nicolet Law secured the verdict after a three-day trial.

This verdict sends a powerful message that insurers cannot indefinitely deny liability when clear evidence of negligence exists. For victims of motor vehicle accidents, it reinforces the importance of persevering through lengthy legal battles to obtain fair compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and future care. The case also highlights the risks faced by e-scooter riders in crosswalks and the need for drivers to exercise caution. By holding State Farm accountable, the jury affirms that injured individuals have the right to seek justice, even when faced with aggressive defense tactics that attempt to shift blame onto the victim. This outcome may encourage other injury victims to pursue their claims and remind corporations that they must answer for their actions in court.
