- Medical Payments Coverage in Virginia: What Your Car Insurance Company Must Offer
Injured in a moped accident? You've come to the right place. Our firm focuses exclusively on injury law. Take a moment to view our informative videos and read our FREE consumer reports.
Mopeds have become a common form of transportation among the streets of towns such as Kitty Hawk, Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Mopeds are a great economical and fun form of transportation. They are easy to maneuver and operate on the congested summer streets in the Outer Banks. Many locals own them and they can also be purchased or rented on the island.
Moped operators do not fare well in accidents involving the moped and a car. Head injury, cervical spine injury, broken limbs and eternal organ damage are common results of these terrible accidents. It could take months, or even years, of rehabilitation to fully recover from a moped accident.
The mopeds are under "50cc’s" which means you're not required to have a drivers license or insurance to operate. For many people who have had previous drinking and driving infractions, these vehicles are commonly utilized. Whether that's a good thing is debatable. 
Speeds are limited to less than 35 mph which can cause a problem when sharing the roadway with licensed vehicles in areas where the speed limit exceeds 35 mph. The moped's visual profile is smaller compared to even a motorcycle.
Bright colored clothing or reflective gear and a helmet are an important part of staying safe while operating these types of vehicles. Always remember that these are recreational vehicles and should not be driven on highways where cars, trucks, tractor trailers, etc. reign.
If you have been involved in a moped accident and have suffered an injury please contact us for information about your rights. Our phone number is 1-800-752-042.

FAQs
Car & Motorcycle Accidents
- I've been hurt in a car wreck and the insurance company for the other driver has called me to give a recorded statement. Should I do it?
- Should I use my regular health insurance to pay for the medical care I need as a result of a car accident?
- Our new clients in car accident cases often asked, "Can I accept a check which has been offered to me for my car repairs or will that mess up my claim for injuries and medical bills?"
- Why shouldn't I just take a quick settlement for whatever the car insurance company for the other driver will pay me?
- What do I do if the at-fault driver's car insurance is not returning my calls or dragging its feet after a Virginia car accident with injuries?
