Protection for Traffic Accidents Victims Caused by Drivers of Electric Scooter in Serbia

Summary/Abstract: Electric scooters have become a reality in everyday life in Serbia. People who operate electric scooters can be seen driving them on roads, sidewalks, and bike paths. There have already been traffic accidents with various consequences involving drivers operating electric scooters. A special problem consists in the situation when those persons caused traffic accidents injuring other participants in the traffic or causing material damage to them. All these persons are victims of electric scooter drivers. However, the increase in the number of electric scooters in traffic in Serbia is not accompanied by adequate legal or by-law regulations, because they are still not legally regulated. This is an additional problem faced by the victims of those traffic accidents because they do not have the necessary legal certainty as to whom they should turn to with a request for compensation for damages that occurred as a result of such a traffic accident. The aim of the paper is to present the current situation in this regard in the Republic of Serbia and to indicate possible solutions to this situation.
