What Risks Do Scooter Riders Face Around Large Trucks in Milwaukee?
Scooter riders face increased risks when sharing the road with large commercial vehicles such as semi trucks. These trucks have wide blind spots, require more distance to stop, and are harder to maneuver than smaller vehicles. In busy areas like Milwaukee’s North 92nd Street corridor, traffic moves in close quarters, and drivers may not expect to encounter scooters. These conditions can make it difficult for both riders and truck drivers to see one another in time to react safely.
When a scooter is struck by a large truck, injuries are often serious because of the size and weight difference between the vehicles. Scooter riders have little physical protection, which increases the likelihood of fractures, head injuries, and internal trauma. Lower-body injuries, including ankle and leg fractures, are especially common and may require surgery, hospitalization, and lengthy rehabilitation. Even when a rider remains conscious, recovery can take weeks or months.
After a crash involving a commercial vehicle, injured riders often have practical questions about medical bills, time away from work, and insurance coverage. Claims involving commercial trucks can be more complex than standard vehicle crashes because they may involve additional insurance policies and documentation. A truck accident attorney can help explain how these cases are typically handled and what information may be needed to move forward.
