E-bikes and scooters have become a common sight on the roads, paths, and bike lanes of Boynton Beach. They offer a convenient, affordable way to get around, but they also leave riders significantly more exposed than occupants of a car or truck. When a collision occurs, the consequences for riders can be severe.
These accidents raise legal questions that go beyond a typical road collision. Depending on the circumstances, liability may rest with a negligent driver, a property owner, a rental company, or even the manufacturer of a defective bike or scooter.
Florida law also classifies e-bikes and scooters differently from cars and motorcycles, which affects how insurance claims are handled.
At Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers, our experienced e-bike and scooter accident lawyers in Boynton Beach represent injured riders throughout Palm Beach County.
We understand that after a serious accident, you need more than just legal representation—you need people who genuinely care about what you’re going through.
If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, our team is ready to help you Demand More®.
Many e-bike and scooter accidents are caused by the negligence of others, not the rider. Common causes include:
If your accident was caused by any of these factors, you may have a valid claim, even if the specific cause isn’t listed here. An experienced attorney can evaluate the full circumstances and identify all potential sources of liability.
Without the structural protection of a vehicle, e-bike and scooter riders are highly vulnerable in a collision. Common injuries include:
Even lower-speed collisions can result in serious injuries when a rider is thrown from their bike or scooter. Getting prompt medical attention and legal advice is critical.
Like motorcycles, e-bikes and scooters fall outside Florida’s no-fault PIP framework, therefore, injured riders generally must pursue compensation directly from the at-fault party.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, this could include:
Liability may extend beyond the driver to a rental company, a property owner, or a product manufacturer, depending on what caused the accident. An experienced attorney can identify every available avenue of compensation and help you understand what may be possible in your case.
Most claims are resolved through settlement, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. If litigation becomes necessary, you’ll be represented by our Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, a distinction held by only about 1% of Florida attorneys.

They all went above and beyond my expectations, and did an excellent job for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of this kind of service.
I chose Brian Guralnick for my personal injury case because of my experience with Brian on a previous business relationship that I had with him many years ago. At that time I could tell that this man was detail oriented and passionate and caring. This was my very first experience with a personal injury lawsuit and Brian and his team very professionally advised me and compassionately guided me at every turn. My case was settled much faster than I had expected and for a settlement amount that was higher than I expected. When Brian says that he will “Demand More”, he is absolutely telling the truth. Brian and his team absolutely know what they are doing.
