In Manassas, you can use a motor scooter to run errands, go to work, or just have fun. Whether your motor scooter is your regular mode of transportation or used strictly for entertainment, being involved in an accident while riding can leave you with serious injuries. A motor scooter accident can also result in a myriad of expenses, including medical bills and lost wages. At the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, our Manassas motor scooter accident lawyer can help you recover these costs.
Our legal team of Virginia motor scooter accident lawyers will investigate your case and our personal injury lawyer will represent you on a contingency fee basis. This agreement allows you to start building your case with no upfront expenses, which means you do not have to wait to hold the at-fault party liable for their negligence. It also means you do not risk running out of time to pursue financial compensation.
Our Investigation Can Uncover the Negligence That Led to Your Accident
After a collision between your motor scooter and a passenger vehicle, your injuries might impair your memories. This can prevent you from providing us with details that help us prove and assign liability. Our team will conduct an independent investigation of your accident to prove the at-fault driver:
- Owed you a duty of care
- Negligently breached their duty
- Caused your injuries and property damage
- Caused your financial expenses and losses
The evidence we collect to prove these components of negligence will likely include your police report, medical records, witness statements, photos, and videos (if available). Whenever possible, our team can request and obtain evidence for you rather than burden you with these tasks. While we focus on building your case file, you can focus on getting better.
Damages We Can Recover After Proving Negligence
An accident on a motor scooter can leave you with costly injuries, affecting many aspects of your life. Some common losses in accident cases include:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Current and future lost wages
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience
- Lasting disability and disfigurement
- Mental and emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages, where applicable
Our legal team will gather evidence—including bills, receipts, estimates, medical records, and employment records—to quantify your losses. These documents establish your current and future costs and help prove the value of your recoverable damages.

We Ensure That Your Accident Case Is Filed on Time
Collecting evidence, preparing your case, negotiating a settlement, and getting the compensation you are entitled to can take time. In Virginia, the time you have to file your lawsuit after a motor scooter accident is subject to the statute of limitations:
- The personal injury statute of limitations is generally two years. According to Va. Code § 8.01-243, the statutory clock starts running on the date of the accident.
- The wrongful death statute of limitations is also generally two years. According to Va. Code § 8.01-244, the statutory clock starts running on the date of a family member’s demise, even if that date is not the same date as the accident.
Interpreting the statute of limitations on your own can be confusing. Our personal injury lawyer will explain the filing deadline and how it applies to your case. We will also clarify any factors like age or absence that might extend the statute of limitations in your favor.
