Just because an automobile was not involved, that does not mean no one was legally responsible. It is likely you still have a valid injury claim.
E-bike and e-scooter riders can seriously injure pedestrians, runners, cyclists, and other riders, especially driven at high speeds. In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that injuries involving micromobility devices—including e-bikes and e-scooters—have increased significantly in recent years, highlighting the growing safety risks these devices present.
Depending on the circumstances, liability may fall on the rider, a rental company, an employer if the rider was working, or another negligent party. Identifying every potentially responsible party is often one of the most important steps in protecting your right to recover compensation.

As e-bikes and e-scooters become more common, collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists are increasing. Understanding who may be legally responsible is often the first step toward protecting your rights.
