Data on escooter injury since October 2018
Ellen Blake made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation
The request was successful.
From: Ellen Blake
Kia ora Accident Compensation Corporation,
I would like information on the number of escooter- related claims since their introduction into New Zealand in October 2018 until present.
I am particularly interested to know how many relate to the escooter user, and how many relate to other road users including pedestrians.
Information by year, user/non-user, sex, cost to ACC, and severity of injury if available would be appreciated.
If you have any information on escooter ownership related to the crash that would also be appreciated, ie is it a hire vehicle or privately owned.
Thank you
Ngā mihi
