Bird shouldn’t be in the middle here. The fact that it was a Bird scooter instead of his own seems to be immaterial, the scooter itself seems not to be at fault.

If you’re illegally operating (invalid vehicle for the road), your ability to complain diminishes quite a bit. Sucks to be that injured, this is where socialized medicine sort of helps out.

I'm not convinced Bird is irrelevant, specifically because the city made a rather convoluted agreement with Bird to enable its use in the city.

Use that is _known_ to be largely done outside of the terms of use and/or city law.
