A September 20th article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports on the death of a 24 year-old Dallas man after falling from a rented scooter. The death was ruled to be the result of a head trauma. As the article points out, the tragedy comes in the wake of rapidly increasing scooter injuries nationwide and a new California law legalizing helmetless scooter driving for adults. Los Angeles based personal injury law firm Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock says that the incident points out the importance of individuals taking responsibility for their own safety.
