E-Bike & E-Scooter Accident Lawyer
These crashes follow newer, confusing rules that most firms haven't kept up with, and those rules often decide who pays. We have kept up. Tell us what happened and a real lawyer at Peretz Law Firm will tell you where you stand. We handle micromobility cases in NYC, PA, and NJ.
E-bike and e-scooter crashes don't fit the old car-accident playbook, and that's exactly why they get mishandled. The insurance coverage depends on how your device is legally classified, where the crash happened, and whether you were working at the time. In New York, e-bikes are sorted into Class 1 and Class 2 (up to 20 mph) and a NYC-only Class 3 (up to 25 mph), and since October 2025 New York City caps all of them at 15 mph on city streets. Compliant e-bikes don't need a license, registration, or insurance, which means after a crash there may be no obvious policy to claim against, and finding the coverage takes someone who knows where to look.

Start a free reviewYes, you can recover money if you were hurt on an e-bike or e-scooter in New York, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, especially if a driver, a road defect, or a faulty device caused the crash. The challenge is identifying which insurance policy applies, because compliant e-bikes don't carry their own coverage. Peretz Law Firm investigates every available source, including the at-fault driver's policy and your own.
Your e-bike may legally be a moped, and it matters because it changes the entire insurance picture. In New York, a device that exceeds the e-bike speed and power limits, many 28 mph throttle “e-bikes” sold to delivery riders do, is legally a moped, which requires registration, a license, and insurance. If yours qualifies as a moped, different coverage rules apply after a crash. Peretz Law Firm figures out exactly how your device is classified and what that means for your claim.
Yes, if you were hit by an e-bike or e-scooter rider, you may have a claim against that rider, and sometimes against a delivery company or the device's manufacturer. Pedestrians struck by micromobility devices can recover for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Peretz Law Firm identifies who is responsible and which insurance covers it.
If you crashed a delivery e-bike while working in New York, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, you may have several options depending on whether another driver was at fault, whether the delivery platform provides coverage, and whether your device malfunctioned. These cases can involve workers' compensation, third-party injury claims, or product claims at once. Peretz Law Firm sorts out which paths apply to you.
