With the rise of alternative transportation, accidents involving bicycles, e-scooters, and e-bikes are more common than ever. These crashes often lead to serious injuries due to minimal protection for riders. If you’ve been hit by a vehicle, injured by a defective device, or hurt due to unsafe road conditions, we connect you with personal injury attorneys who specialize in micromobility accidents and know how to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a bicycle, scooter, or e-bike accident?
First, seek medical attention–even if injuries seem minor. Then, document the scene, collect contact information from any witnesses, and file a police report. After that, contact us. We will connect you with an experienced personal injury lawyer who knows how to handle micromobility accident cases and protect your rights.
Who can be held responsible for my accident?
Liability may fall on a driver, another rider, a pedestrian, the scooter/bike rental company, or even the city (if poor road conditions played a role). The lawyers we refer you to specialize in identifying all liable parties to build a strong case on your behalf.
What types of compensation could I be entitled to?
You may be eligible for compensation covering medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation. Our partner attorneys fight to ensure injured riders get the full financial recovery they deserve.
Do I have a case if I was riding a rented e-scooter or bike?
Yes. Accidents involving rented micromobility devices (like Bird, Lime, or Lyft bikes) often involve unique legal issues, such as product defects or maintenance failures. We will match you with a lawyer who understands the specific laws around rental liability and rider agreements.
How quickly should I contact a lawyer after the accident?
As soon as possible. The sooner you reach out, the faster your attorney can preserve evidence, speak with witnesses, and file any necessary claims before legal deadlines expire. Contact us, and we will connect you to a qualified accident lawyer within hours.
Can I Sue Even if the Motorist Did Not Hit Me?
Yes. If a motorist’s reckless actions — such as swerving, opening a car door, or forcing you off the road — caused your crash, you may still have a valid personal injury claim. It is called a no-contact accident and is legally actionable if negligence can be proven.
Can I Still File a Lawsuit Even if I Violated Bicycle or Traffic Laws?
Possibly. Even if you were cited or partially at fault (e.g., riding on the sidewalk or missing a light), you may still recover damages. Many states follow comparative negligence laws, meaning your compensation is reduced but not eliminated based on your share of the fault.
What Happens During the Free Case Evaluation?
We will walk through the details of your accident, including how it occurred, your injuries, and any police or insurance reports. You will get straightforward legal insight — no pressure, no fees — and a clear picture of your legal options moving forward.
What Do I Risk by Waiting to Contact an Injury Attorney?
Delaying can weaken your case. Evidence disappears, witnesses become harder to reach, and insurers may deny or undervalue your claim. The sooner you speak to a lawyer, the better your chances of building a strong case and securing full compensation.
