When the At-Fault Party Doesn’t Stop
It’s incredibly frustrating when an accident happens, and the person who caused it just keeps going. If an e-scooter or e-bike rider didn’t stop after hitting you, it can feel like you’re left with no options. However, you shouldn’t worry. Our experienced team at Eason & Tambornini is brings over 100 years of combined legal expertise and we are skilled at investigating hit-and-run cases. We’ll work hard to find out who was responsible, find surveillance video if any exists, or contact witnesses to help corroborate your story so we can build your case.
Crossing the Street: What if You’re Outside the Crosswalk?
Maybe you were crossing the street, not in a crosswalk, and an e-bike or e-scooter hit you. You might wonder if you’re entirely at fault. While pedestrians should always be careful and use crosswalks when available, that doesn’t automatically mean the e-bike or e-scooter operator is off the hook.
In California, the Freedom to Walk Act (AB 2147) decriminalized jaywalking, meaning pedestrians can no longer be cited for crossing the street safely outside of crosswalks. We’ll examine details like their speed, how attentive they were, and if they followed traffic rules. Our attorneys can help clarify liability in your unique situation.
Injuries from Faulty Equipment
Sometimes, accidents aren’t about someone being careless but about the equipment itself failing. Imagine riding an e-scooter and the brakes suddenly give out, or an e-bike battery malfunctions. These kinds of equipment failures can lead to serious injuries. If a product defect caused your harm, you might be able to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor. Eason & Tambornini understands these complex product liability cases and can help determine your legal options.
No Witnesses? We’ve Got Your Back
Getting hurt in an accident with no one around to see it can feel incredibly discouraging. It might seem impossible to prove what happened without a witness. But don’t lose heart. Our skilled attorneys know how to build strong cases even when direct eyewitnesses are scarce. We can work with accident reconstruction specialists, analyze property damage, and review official reports to piece together the facts and show who was at fault.
