Accident Attorney Helps Residents Amid Disturbing Trend of E-bike Injuries, Fatalities Increasing

Las Vegas, Nevada – /News Reported by LaGuardia Media and Public Relations/ – According to the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), there were an estimated 104 e-bike-related deaths between 2017 and 2022. More than 50% of these fatalities were due to e-bikes colliding with motor vehicles. These numbers are combined to include electric scooters, as well.

Although negligent drivers are frequently held liable for these accidents, there can be others that hold liability, as well. Pedestrians, cyclists or other e-bikers, cities and townships with poor or hazardous road conditions, or e-bike companies (for defective or poor manufacturing), can all be responsible if an e-bike accident occurs.

“Electric scooter accidents can result in serious injuries. If you or someone you care about has been hurt in such an incident, you may be entitled to compensation from those at fault.” – Attorney Sam Ryan Heidari

E-bike injuries, more often than not, are more acute or critical than regular biking injuries, due to factors such as the speed of e-bikes and how much heavier they are than bicycles.
The most prevalent e-bike injuries may include TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), concussions, fractures, broken bones, and facial trauma. Some internal and spinal injuries, as well as soft tissue damage can occur from e-bike accidents as well.

Early reports from 2025 estimate tens of thousands of emergency room visits due to e-bike accidents, leading to an outcry for updated safety regulations. Distracted drivers, property owners or government agencies who fail to maintain safe conditions on the roads, e-bike insurance providers (through claims filed), e-bike manufacturers, and other cyclists can all be held responsible in an e-bike crash. If you are involved in an e-bike accident, it is highly recommended for you to file a police report, then review all of your options with an experienced accident attorney before taking any other actions.

“The rising popularity of electric scooters and bicycles has transformed urban mobility, offering a convenient and eco-friendly alternative for commuting to work or school. However, as these modes of transportation are relatively new, comprehensive regulations are yet to catch up, leading to a higher incidence of accidents.” – Attorney Sam Ryan Heidari

With some studies estimating a 2,371% increase in e-bike fractures and a 3,146% increase in hospitalizations in the U.S. since 2023, cities with high tourism rates such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York have seen the highest increases.
