Los Angeles Onewheel Accident Lawyer

Experienced Representation for Onewheel Accidents

Onewheels are single-wheeled, self-balancing electric skateboards. They are manufactured by California-based Future Motion, Inc. and have been linked to a number of serious injuries and even deaths. Lawsuits allege that Onewheels are unsafe and should be recalled. A serious Onewheel crash can leave victims facing overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and a long recovery process. What may have started as a recreational ride or daily commute can quickly turn into a life-changing event when a rider is unexpectedly thrown from the device.

If you or a loved one has been injured while riding an Onewheel, it is important to understand your legal rights. At LNN, we are investigating Onewheel accident claims and represent injured individuals and families who have been harmed by dangerous products. We are skilled, experienced personal injury attorneys who will fight to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Contact our office today at (855) 978-7980 to schedule a free consultation with a Los Angeles Onewheel accident lawyer.

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.

Many reported incidents involve riders being unexpectedly thrown forward when the board can no longer maintain balance. Because riders often travel at significant speeds and stand upright without restraints, even a sudden loss of power or balance can result in severe impact with the ground.

For injured riders seeking a Los Angeles attorney for Onewheel accident claims, it is important to understand the cause of the crash. Preserving the board, obtaining app data, documenting injuries, and gathering witness statements can all help establish what happened and whether a defect contributed to the accident

HAS THE ONEWHEEL BEEN RECALLED?

In September 2023, Future Motion announced a voluntary recall involving approximately 300,000 Onewheel electric skateboards in cooperation with the CPSC. The recall applies to all major Onewheel models.

For Onewheel GT, Pint X, Pint, and XR models, the recall generally involved a firmware update that added a safety feature known as “Haptic Buzz,” which provides an audible and tactile warning when riders approach operating limits that could lead to a crash. Original Onewheel and Onewheel+ models were not eligible for the software update and were instead subject to separate recall instructions.

In addition to the earlier GT footpad recall, consumers should be aware that the broader 2023 recall significantly expanded the scope of safety concerns surrounding Onewheel devices.

Even when a recall exists, injured Onewheel riders may still have legal claims. A recall does not automatically eliminate liability for injuries that occurred before the recall was announced or for accidents allegedly caused by defects that were not adequately addressed. Our Los Angeles Onewheel accident attorney can evaluate how recall information may affect your potential claim.

WHAT KINDS OF INJURIES OCCUR IN ONEWHEEL ACCIDENTS?

Injuries related to Onewheel pushback and nosedive accidents can range in severity. While some are minor, some are severe or even life-threatening. In several cases, the injuries have proven fatal.

Types of injuries people experience in Onewheel accidents:

Broken bones
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Paralysis
Upper- and lower-body fractures
Ligament damage
Friction burns
Bruises and lacerations
Concussions

Head injuries are among the most serious consequences of an Onewheel crash. Even when a rider wears a helmet, a sudden ejection can result in concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and long-term cognitive symptoms. Victims may experience memory problems, headaches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, or permanent impairments that affect their ability to work and live daily life.

Orthopedic injuries are also common. Riders often instinctively extend their arms during a fall, resulting in wrist fractures, elbow injuries, shoulder damage, and torn ligaments. Severe crashes can require surgery, physical therapy, and months of rehabilitation.

If you suffered any kind of injury while riding on the Onewheel, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to act quickly and retain a Los Angeles lawyer, as you may only have a limited amount of time to file a Onewheel accident claim.

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.

Product liability cases generally focus on whether a product was unreasonably dangerous when it left the manufacturer’s control. Our Onewheel accident attorney may work with engineers, accident reconstruction experts, and other professionals to determine whether the device functioned as intended and whether additional safety measures could have reduced the risk of injury.

HAVE THERE BEEN DEATHS RELATED TO THE ONEWHEEL?

As reported by the CPSC, at least four people have died in Onewheel Accidents. Unfortunately, it is believed that the number of people injured or killed in these accidents is potentially much higher.

Federal safety officials have linked reported deaths and numerous serious injuries to Onewheel incidents, leading to increased scrutiny of the product and eventual recall efforts.

Families who lose a loved one in a fatal Onewheel accident may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim with the help of a Los Angeles lawyer. While no amount of compensation can replace a family member, legal action may help relieve financial burdens and hold negligent parties accountable.

TYPES OF DAMAGES THAT CAN BE RECOVERED

If you are injured in a Onewheel accident, you may be eligible for damages. An attorney in Los Angeles can help evaluate your claim to determine how much your Onwheel case is worth.

Damages in a Onewheel accident case may include compensation for your:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Loss of future earning capacity
Pain and suffering

Depending on the situation, you may also receive compensation for the wrongful death of your loved one. If your loved one was injured or killed while riding a Onewheel, contact our office today.

Many victims underestimate the long-term financial impact of a serious injury. Beyond emergency medical treatment, accident victims may require ongoing care, rehabilitation, prescription medications, assistive devices, and future medical procedures. Compensation may also account for diminished earning capacity when injuries prevent a person from returning to the same occupation or working at full capacity.

SHOULD I HIRE AN ATTORNEY?

If you are injured in a Onewheel accident in Los Angeles, it is always in your best interest to speak with an attorney. An attorney may be able to help you get the compensation you deserve. It is a good idea to retain your attorney as early as possible. An attorney can walk you through the process and help to build a strong case on your behalf.

The steps taken immediately after an accident can have a significant impact on a potential claim. By involving our lawyer early in the process, you can better protect your rights and preserve evidence that may support your case.

When you have been seriously injured by a potentially defective product, you should not have to take on a large manufacturer alone. We can investigate the circumstances of your Onewheel accident, identify responsible parties, and pursue the full compensation available under California law.
