ACC reveals e-scooter claims figures
State insurer Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) has revealed its electric scooter injury claims total following a media request. As of January 21, ACC saw 845 e-scooter injury claims, a big jump from the 655 claims just before the New Year, NZ Herald reports. ACC provided the publication with its latest figures, which show a total of $331,046 in e-scooter costs between Lime’s mid-October launch in the country and January 21. The figures do not include the cost of emergency treatment at public hospitals, which is bulk-funded.
