E-Bike Accident Cases We Handle

Electric bikes share the road with larger, faster vehicles—and riders are often the ones left with serious injuries. At Hilliard Law, we represent victims injured in a wide range of e-bike accidents, including:

• Collisions between e-bikes and cars, trucks, or commercial vehicles
• Accidents caused by defective brakes, batteries, throttles, or electronics
• Fires or explosions caused by e-bike battery malfunctions
• Crashes involving rideshare or rental e-bikes (e.g. Lime, Bird, Jump)
• Incidents caused by poor road design, construction debris, or unmarked hazards
• Pedestrian injuries caused by negligent or reckless e-bike riders
• Accidents involving children or underage riders operating electric bikes
• Claims involving uninsured drivers, multiple parties, or unclear fault
• Situations where local laws and e-bike classification issues complicate insurance coverage

Your Rights After an E-Bike Accident

Texas law allows injured individuals to pursue compensation when their injuries result from someone else’s negligence. If you were involved in an e-bike crash, you may have a personal injury claim. But what does that really mean?

A personal injury claim is a legal process where a person who was hurt seeks compensation ("damages") from the party responsible for causing their injury. In most e-bike accident cases, this requires proving four key elements:

1. Duty of Care – The person or entity you are suing had a legal obligation to act in a reasonably safe manner. For example, drivers must obey traffic laws and manufacturers must ensure their products are safe.
2. Breach of Duty – The other party failed to meet that obligation. This could include texting while driving, failing to maintain an e-bike rental properly, or releasing a defective product.
3. Causation – You must show that this breach of duty directly caused your injury. In legal terms, their negligence must be a "proximate cause" of your harm—not just a minor or unrelated factor.
4. Damages – You need to demonstrate that you suffered real losses, which may include physical injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and more.

Importantly, you don’t need to know all the details before reaching out to an attorney. You may have a valid claim even if you aren’t sure who was at fault or if more than one party was involved. That’s where our legal team comes in. We conduct detailed investigations, consult expert witnesses, and build strong, trial-ready cases aimed at securing maximum compensation.

At Hilliard Law, we explain your rights clearly, handle communication with insurance companies, and stand ready to take your case to court if necessary. Whether your crash involved a negligent driver, a faulty rental bike, or an unsafe roadway, we’ll help you understand your options and fight for the justice you deserve.

Who May Be Liable in an E-Bike Injury Case?

E-bike accident cases often involve layered liability. They may also involve causes of action that go beyond negligence, such as product liability or premises liability. Depending on the facts, one or more of the following parties may be legally responsible:

• Negligent Drivers: Motorists who hit e-bike riders while speeding, distracted, intoxicated, or failing to yield at intersections.
• E-Bike Manufacturers: Companies that produce e-bikes or batteries with dangerous defects or poor-quality components that cause crashes or fires.
• Rental and Shared Micromobility Companies: Providers like Lime, Bird, Jump, and Veo who may be liable for accidents caused by poorly maintained equipment, unresponsive apps, or failure to issue warnings about known hazards.
• Municipalities or Property Owners: Cities or private property owners who fail to maintain roads, sidewalks, or bike lanes may bear responsibility if poor conditions contributed to the crash.
• Other Riders, Cyclists, or Pedestrians: In cases involving reckless riding, right-of-way violations, or sudden, dangerous maneuvers.

Texas applies a modified comparative fault rule. This means even if you are found to be partially at fault for the crash, you may still recover damage if you are no more than 50% responsible. Our attorneys at Hilliard Law thoroughly investigate these issues so that your rights are fully protected.

How Long Do I Have to File an E-Bike Injury Claim in Texas?

In most cases, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Texas is two years from the date of the accident. However, some exceptions may apply:

• Minors may have additional time to file.
• Claims involving city or county negligence may require formal notice within six months.

Missing a deadline could prevent you from recovering compensation. That’s why it’s critical to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

What Damages Can I Recover in an E-Bike Accident Claim?

If your e-bike accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills and future treatment
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Punitive damages (in extreme cases)

At Hilliard Law, we tailor our legal strategy to each client’s needs and fight for every dollar you’re owed.
