More and more residents and visitors in Jupiter are getting around on e-bikes and electric scooters, drawn by how easy and affordable they are compared to driving. But that convenience comes at a cost: riders have almost nothing standing between them and the pavement, and a collision that a driver might walk away from can leave a rider seriously hurt.
These cases can also be more complicated to sort out than a typical crash. Fault might land on a careless driver, but it could just as easily trace back to a property owner, a rental company that failed to maintain its fleet, or a manufacturer whose product had a hidden defect.
At Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers, our experienced e-bike and scooter accident lawyers in Jupiter, FL, 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®.
More often than not, an e-bike or scooter accident traces back to someone else’s carelessness rather than anything the rider did wrong. Frequent culprits include:
If something else caused your accident, you may still have grounds for a claim even if it isn’t listed here. An experienced attorney can look at everything that happened and pinpoint every possible source of liability.
With no frame, airbags, or seatbelt to absorb the impact, riders tend to bear the full force of a collision. Injuries we commonly see include:
Even a crash at a relatively low speed can cause serious harm once a rider is thrown from the bike or scooter. Getting checked out right away matters both for your recovery and for documenting what happened.
Because e-bikes and scooters generally fall outside Florida’s no-fault PIP framework, injured riders typically can’t rely on their own PIP coverage and must pursue compensation directly from the party at fault.
If the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured, it’s also worth understanding whether uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage could apply to your situation. Every case is different, and what may be available depends entirely on the specific facts of your situation.
Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to seek compensation for:
Liability may reach beyond the driver to a rental company, a property owner, or a product manufacturer, depending on what caused the crash. An experienced attorney can help you understand what may realistically be possible in your specific case.
Most claims settle, but we prepare every case as if it’s headed 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.
Having handled personal injury cases throughout Palm Beach County for decades, our team knows how to navigate the particular challenges these claims present, from sorting out which party or parties bear responsibility to pushing back on the tactics insurers use when a smaller vehicle is involved.
At Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers, we’ve seen the arguments insurers rely on to shift blame onto riders, and we know how to counter them.
Proving fault in these cases often means looking at the situation from several angles at once—the condition of the road, how the driver was behaving, whether the e-bike or scooter itself was in good working order, and more. We work with a trusted network of professionals who help establish the full picture, including:
These professional relationships allow us to build well-supported cases that identify all liable parties and pursue the full extent of your losses.
Jupiter’s popularity with cyclists, walkers, and riders alike means e-bike and scooter use has grown faster than the infrastructure built to support it. Riders often run into elevated risk in situations like:
Knowing where these accidents tend to happen helps us identify who’s responsible and build a stronger case on your behalf.

What an amazing experience I had with Brian and his team. I was referred by a friend after a bad accident. Patricia & Lily have gone above & beyond to be attentive, quick to respond, and very kind. I feel they really cared about my well being, and about my outcome. Brian was a pleasure to work with. You can tell he cares about his company, and it shows in the way he does business and his staff. Thank you again! I will definitely be sending people your way.

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.
