E-Bike & E-Scooter Accidents

E-bike and E-Scooter Accidents

Family-Owned Law Firm Fighting for The Injured of New York 

Electric bikes (e-bikes) and electric scooters (e-scooters) have become increasingly popular modes of transportation in New York City. They are convenient, affordable, and eco-friendly, but they can also be dangerous. E-bike and e-scooter accidents are on the rise, and many riders suffer serious injuries by being “doored” by vehicles or as a result of other negligent driving.  If you or a loved one has been involved in an e-bike or e-scooter accident, you need the help of experienced attorneys who can fight for your rights.

Flanzig & Flanzig is a boutique law firm based in New York that specializes in personal injury cases. Our firm focuses in bike crash cases with special attention on the area of e-bikes and e-scooter crashes. Partner Daniel Flanzig regularly lectures to other attorneys and law enforcement on the laws that apply to e-bikes and e-scooters accidents in New York and Long Island. We understand the unique challenges of these types of cases and know how to navigate the complex laws and regulations that apply to e-bike and e-scooter riders.

The Dangers of E-bikes and E-scooters

E-bikes and e-scooters are motorized vehicles that can reach high speeds and are often used in crowded urban areas. They are frequently used by delivery workers, commuters, and tourists. While they offer many benefits, they also pose significant risks to riders and pedestrians.

Some of the most common causes of e-bike and e-scooter accidents include:

  • Drivers not following traffic laws
  • Drivers and passengers opening doors
  • Drivers making unlawful left or right turns 
  • Poorly maintained roads, infrastructure, and roadway construction sites 

The injuries sustained in e-bike and e-scooter accidents can be severe and life-changing. Common injuries include broken bones, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even death. If you or a loved one has been involved in an e-bike or e-scooter accident, it is crucial to seek medical attention right away and then contact an experienced personal injury attorney.

Client Testimonials

  • “Phenomenal Team!”
    The team here is nothing short of phenomenal. I reached out about my case on a Sunday afternoon from the hospital and we spoke before the evening was over. Since then, they have been happy to answer any question I have, and walked me through the entire process from handling my no-fault insurance to ultimately getting a settlement offer.

    To any cyclist in search of a lawyer who understands the challenges of biking in this city, look no further than Daniel and his team.

  • “I am grateful to her and her firm for their expertise and diligence.”
    Almost 4 years ago I was struck by a delivery truck while on my bike and suffered a shattered wrist. Cathy Flanzig guided me through the process of bringing a suit against the company that owned the truck and the driver. Ms. Flanzig was professional and compassionate and realistic throughout the whole process. I am grateful to her and her firm for their expertise and diligence.

  • “Combination of legal expertise with a compassionate approach”
    If you are in search of a lawyer who combines legal expertise with a compassionate approach to client care, look no further than Daniel Flanzig and his team at Flanzig and Flanzig. From start to finish, Daniel not only holds an impressive depth of legal knowledge, especially in bicycle laws, but also a remarkable commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Daniel took the time to thoroughly understand the nuances of my case, patiently listened to my concerns, and provided clear, concise explanations of the legal strategies available. This level of transparency and communication instilled a sense of confidence and reassurance during what was initially a daunting process. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking top-tier legal representation.

  • “Supported me since DAY ONE of my 2.5 year journey!”
    Daniel Flanzig was with me on DAY ONE of my 2.5 year journey through the fractured legal system following a serious bicycle accident which left me with two broken wrists. The thirteen day hospital stay included surgeries on both, titanium plates implanted on both, and a severe challenge to my mental health and way of life. Unfortunately, I needed two
    more surgeries on the significantly more damaged right wrist. Dan navigated me through the strained New York City Medical System, still struggling in late 2021 from the wrath of COVID. When the lawsuit needed to be moved to New Jersey, Dan seamlessly transferred the case to Joseph G. Hughes. Both men proved to be upstanding attorneys and outstanding human beings, emotionally invested in my traumatic, drawn-out experience, and committed to reaching the settlement deserved. After matters were resolved by Mr. Hughes, I received a call from Dan, closing this chapter of our time together, but cementing a lifelong connection filled with the utmost respect and gratitude.

  • “Helped me through a difficult time with great results!”
    I recently suffered a grievous injury being struck by a drunk driver while cycling, when dealing with short-term disability, hospital bills, and all manner of associated paperwork I received care and support from the lawyers at Flanzig & Flanzig. Can't recommend their services enough, they really helped me through a difficult time with great results!

  • “Ever since my accident, they paid close attention to my needs & welcomed any questions.”

    Exceptional lawyers with great client services. Ever since my accident they paid close attention to my needs and welcomed any questions. Any issue I had was met with a prompt response via phone or email. They made the process easy and produced results. I would definitely return if I ever needed their services again.

  • “Daniel & his team handled all the legal heavy lifting & logistics so that it wouldn’t be burden.”
    I could not recommend Flanzig & Flanzig more highly for their expertise, skill, professionalism, and care. After being hit by a car, I was hospitalized for a month due to multiple fractures and surgeries and had to undergo intensive physical therapy—during which time Daniel and his team took care of all the medical billing, insurance claims, and legal paperwork so that my family and I could focus on my recovery. Throughout the duration of the matter, Daniel and his team continued to handle all the legal heavy lifting and logistics/administration so that I wouldn’t be burdened, and Daniel was always communicative and proactive in providing updates and answering my questions. Thanks to Daniel’s work, experience, and capability, I received a much more significant settlement on a much faster timeline than expected. I’ve recommended Flanzig & Flanzig to other friends seeking a personal injury attorney, and I am incredibly grateful to Daniel and his team for their continued work and care. Their time, understanding, and expertise mean so much to me and my family for making an incredibly stressful and taxing situation much easier.

  • “Daniel s a truly amazing person, honest, & a great human being.”
    Flanzig & Flanzig are the best attorneys you could possibly find. They did the best for me. The whole process from start to finish, was absolutely fantastic after a big nationwide law firm screwed up my case and Daniel was there to help me settle. Also, it’s my second experience with them. He is a truly amazing person, honest, and a great human being. I definitely recommend them.
