    Los Angeles Onewheel Accident Lawyer

    Experienced Representation for Onewheel Accidents

    WHAT MAKES ONEWHEELS UNSAFE?

    Multiple injuries and deaths have been reported from Onewheel riders nationwide. It is alleged that the self-balancing electric skateboard has a tendency to stop while in motion. The sudden impact ejects riders from the device. It is also reported that the transportation product can send individuals into a dangerous nosedive.

    In November 2022, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued an urgent warning to consumers to stop using all Onewheel models.

    Named models included in the CPSC warning included the:

    • Onewheel
    • Onewheel+
    • Onewheel+ XR
    • Onewheel Pint
    • Onewheel Pint X
    • Onewheel GT

    It is believed that these products contain a dangerous design defect that can cause serious injury or death to riders. Consumers were urged to discontinue use of the device and not to resell or donate the skateboard in an effort to prevent future harm to others.

    HAS THE ONEWHEEL BEEN RECALLED?

    Despite multiple reports of injuries and deaths and the urgent warning from the CPSC, the Onewheel has not been recalled. The only recall of the product involved the company’s voluntary recall of the front footpads on the Onewheel GT.

    According to the CPSC, Future Motion, Inc. “has refused to agree to an acceptable recall of the product.” Onewheel devices remain on the market despite their ejection hazard. A Onewheel accident lawyer in Los Angeles could provide more information about recalls.

    WHAT IS ALLEGED AGAINST THE ONEWHEEL MANUFACTURER?

    Lawsuits filed against Onewheel manufacturer Future Motion, Inc. allege the Santa Cruz-based company knew or should have known the product was dangerous and defective.

    Allegations include that the device contains not only a design and manufacturing defect but also a marketing defect. Despite receiving multiple reports of injuries, Future Motion continued to maintain that their product was safe.

    It is believed that Future Motion failed to adequately warn consumers about the potential risk of injury or death and, in fact, downplayed those risks. The Onewheel manufacturer continues to deny that there is anything hazardous about the device.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.
    While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.
    If you have been injured in an accident that was no fault of your own, there are steps you should take to ensure you are compensated for costs related to the incident. Taking quick action after your accident can profoundly affect your personal injury claim or lawsuit. After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent. Keep a record of your injuries and note any complications that arise because of your injuries. Report the incident as soon as possible after it occurs. Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident. Keep receipts of medication and medical care you received Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can help you navigate your claim.
    Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.
    In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered. If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

    Notifying Insurance Companies

    You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
