[QUOTE="Gleba, post: 2351623, member: 813207"] Hi. You're obviously pretty upset about this situation but you seem to misunderstand some things about the law in the U.S. Harm done to you by others is known as "tort" law. You can sue (a civil matter) for damage done to you. But your lawyer will ask you "where's the tort?" You talk a lot about what could have happened, but I don't see much about the actual harm you have suffered. What are your hospital bills, are you presently in pain, do you need medical care, are you able to work? These are the things that you can be compensated for. Finally, please take this as a clear sign that you need to wear a helmet. It doesn't matter how small the scooter is, or what the law is in your state - helmets protect your head. If you continue to ride I'd also recommend a leather jacket, reflective vest, gloves, and sturdy boots. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
