Injured In An E-Bike Crash In Orlando? We’ll Fight For You!
If you were injured in an e-bike crash that wasn’t your fault (whether you were the rider of the e-bike, or another driver, or cyclist, or pedestrian), you deserve maximum monetary compensation for your injuries! Being injured is expensive regardless of the circumstances; however, e-bike accidents tend to be severe, especially if you were the unprotected e-bike rider. You shouldn’t shoulder the full financial burden when someone else’s negligence was to blame!

Damages You May Be Owed
The total cost of your injuries could be anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands to even hundreds of thousands of dollars; you may incur costs related to:
-
- Ambulatory transport
- Emergency room care
- Hospitalization
- Intensive unit care
- Blood transfusions
- Imaging tests (X-rays, CT scans, MRIs)
- Surgeries
- Rehabilitation
- Physical therapy
- Chiropractic care
You may have to take time off work without pay while you recover, or use up paid sick days or vacation time. You might lose out on quality sleep for a while because of your pain; you may have to cancel travel plans, or pause your gym membership, or miss out on activities you otherwise may have enjoyed. Some injuries, sadly, will never fully heal, requiring lifelong treatment.
Who Is Responsible?
Florida is a “no fault” state. This doesn’t mean that no one was at fault for your accident; it just means that who is responsible for paying is a little more complicated!
If you had auto insurance, your PIP (personal injury protection) coverage will pay benefits first – up to 80% of approved emergency medical costs, up to 60% of lost wages, and up to $2,500 for non-emergent medical costs. PIP is fine, but it likely won’t cover all of the costs you’ll incur if you’re injured. For example, say you suffer a few herniated discs as a result of the crash; those may not be considered “emergency” costs, but you may have to pay for therapy, medications, injections or surgeries down the road, and that can add up to be way more than a couple grand.
You have the right to seek damages from the responsible party, or their insurer, if PIP does not cover all of your expenses. Additionally, e-bike riders in Florida are not required to carry insurance, so if you were a rider injured in a crash, this may be your only option to get paid. Another driver may be at fault. The company that manufactured the e-bike may be at fault, if a defect in the bike cause your crash (for example, if the e-bike was classified incorrectly, or if it went above the maximum legal speed, or if a part didn’t function as it was supposed to). The city government may even be at fault in some cases for creating unsafe bike lanes or not properly maintaining roads and sidewalks.
Our Orlando e-bike accident lawyers can investigate your accident to help you determine the correct party to seek damages from and make a strong claim!
