E-bike and e-scooter accidents raise questions a typical car crash doesn’t: who’s liable, whose insurance pays, and what happens when a device isn’t insured at all. Meldon Law’s Florida e-bike accident attorneys know how to untangle that complexity and fight for every dollar you’re owed. We’re a firm that won’t back down, and we treat every client’s case, however big or small, with the compassion and attention it deserves.

Why Trust Our Team With Your E-Bike Accident Case
An e-bike or e-scooter accident can turn your family’s life upside down in an instant. You deserve a firm that will treat your case like it matters, not like another file to close out. That’s who we are.
We Know How These Cases Work
We’ve handled e-bike and e-scooter accident cases before, and we understand what makes them different from a standard car accident claim. These devices don’t carry their own insurance, liability can involve more than one party, and every city and county in Florida can have its own laws. We know how to sort through that complexity and determine who’s responsible for your losses, so you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Weāve also recovered hundreds of millions for injured Floridians since opening our doors.
We Are Thorough
We’re also diligent. From the moment you call us, we start building your case, gathering evidence, reviewing the applicable insurance policies, and pushing back against any attempt to shift blame onto you or your child. We limit the number of cases we take so that every client gets our full attention. That doesn’t mean we only take the most serious injuries; if you’re unsure whether your case is “worth” calling about, call us anyway. We want to hear your story.
We Care About Floridians
Above all, we care. Many of these cases involve kids, a child hurt while riding or a family facing a claim because their child was involved in someone else’s injury. Hospitals across the state are seeing 150% to 300% increases in these types of injuries over the past several years.
We understand how frightening that is for a parent, and we approach every one of these cases with the same compassion we’d want for our own neighbors and our own families. This isn’t just our job. It’s our calling, and we take on your fight like it’s our own.
Call us today for a free consultation, and let us show you what it means to have our firm on your side.
You Want an Advocate Who Understands These Cases
E-bike and e-scooter accidents are becoming more common across Florida, and they come with complications a typical car accident doesn’t. Emergency rooms in several regions have seen triple-digit increases in related injuries in recent years. These devices carry no insurance of their own; more than one party can share liability for what happened; and cities and counties across Florida each add their own rules on top of Florida e-bike laws. Sorting through all of that takes real skill, and it’s exactly what our attorneys do best. We know how to determine liability and prove negligence in cases like these, so you can focus on recovering while we focus on your claim.
Here’s how we help:
- We investigate every source of recovery. If you were struck by a car while riding, we look at the driver’s liability insurance as well as your own PIP and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We leave no stone unturned in identifying who can and should pay for your losses.
- We handle the insurance company for you. Insurers look for any opportunity to shift blame onto you and shrink what they owe. We push back against unfair comparative fault arguments and negotiate for the full value of your claim.
- We guide families through cases involving kids. So many e-bike and e-scooter injuries involve children. We walk you through every step of the process, ensuring you feel supported and always know what comes next.
- We negotiate and are always prepared to litigate if necessary. Most cases resolve before trial, but if yours requires a lawsuit, we’re ready to see it through from start to finish.

Call UsWhat Compensation Can We Help You Recover?
Every e-bike and e-scooter accident is different, and so is every recovery. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all settlement numbers. Instead, we take the time to understand how your accident has affected your life, both right now and down the road, so we can fight for compensation that actually reflects what you’ve been through.
Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses, past and future, including emergency treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and any ongoing care your injuries require
- Lost income, for time missed from work while you recover or care for your child, as well as reduced earning capacity if your injuries affect your ability to work the way you once did
- Property damage, including the cost of repairing or replacing your e-bike, e-scooter, or other belongings damaged in the accident
- Pain and suffering, accounting for the physical pain and emotional toll the accident has caused you and your family
- Long-term care costs, for more serious injuries such as head, face, or neck trauma, which are unfortunately common in these types of accidents
We’ll use your medical records, receipts, and other documentation to build a clear picture of your losses, but we also look beyond the paperwork. We consider the insurance policies involved, the severity of your injuries, and anything you’ve paid out of pocket, so nothing gets left out of your claim.
You shouldn’t have to guess what your case is worth, and you shouldn’t have to accept less than you deserve because an insurance company hopes you won’t fight back. That’s what we’re here for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do E-Bikes and E-Scooters Have Their Own Insurance in Florida?
No. Unlike cars, e-bikes and e-scooters don’t carry their own insurance coverage. If you’re hit while riding, recovery typically comes from the at-fault driver’s insurance, or from your own auto policy’s PIP or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage if you or someone in your household owns a car. We can help you figure out which coverage applies to your situation.
While insurance is not required, we recommend that all e-bike and e-scooter riders carry UM/UIM coverage.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire Meldon Law?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, which means you don’t pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit in Florida?
Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. If a government entity is involved, shorter notice deadlines may apply. Evidence and witness memories fade quickly, so it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
What If I or My Child Share Fault for the Accident?
Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as you’re not found more than 50% responsible. Our attorneys work to make sure you or your child aren’t unfairly blamed for more of the accident than the facts support.
