Electric bikes have exploded in popularity throughout Southern California—especially in Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, and the surrounding communities. With faster speeds, increased traffic, and inexperienced riders on the road, e-bike accidents have become one of the fastest-growing causes of serious injuries. If you or a loved one has been hurt in an e-bike crash, you deserve a lawyer who understands the unique complexities of these cases.
Attorney Dustin represents injured riders with professionalism, compassion, and relentless determination. You focus on healing—he focuses on securing the compensation you need to move forward.
Why E-Bike Accidents Are Increasing in Murrieta & the Inland Empire
E-bikes are convenient, cost-effective, and fun. But they also bring risks that many drivers and riders underestimate:
- Higher speeds – Many Class 2 and Class 3 e-bikes can reach 20–28 mph, making collisions far more severe.
- Shared roads – Riders often travel in the same lanes as cars, SUVs, and trucks, where drivers may not expect or see them.
- Inexperienced riders – Teens and first-time riders are frequently involved in collisions because of unfamiliar handling.
- Poor bike lane infrastructure – Rapid growth in e-bike use has outpaced local roadway upgrades.
- Distracted driving – Phones remain one of the top causes of e-bike vs. car crashes.
When a crash happens, the injuries can be life-changing—and the legal process is rarely straightforward. That’s why having an experienced e-bike accident attorney matters.
Common Causes of E-Bike Accidents
Attorney Dustin handles all types of e-bike injury cases, including those involving:
Negligent or Distracted Drivers
Most serious e-bike injuries involve collisions with motor vehicles. Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the rider because they were:
- Texting or using a smartphone
- Speeding
- Opening a car door into the rider’s path (“dooring” accidents)
- Making unsafe left or right turns
- Failing to yield at intersections
- Backing out of driveways without checking
Defective E-Bike Components
Some crashes occur because the e-bike itself malfunctioned. Examples include:
- Battery failures
- Sudden power surges
- Brake defects
- Frame or fork failures
- Throttle or pedal assist malfunctions
In these cases, a claim may be brought against the manufacturer, retailer, or service provider.
Hazardous Road Conditions
Loose gravel, potholes, uneven pavement, construction debris, and inadequate lighting can cause e-bike riders to crash—making a government entity potentially liable.
Reckless E-Bike Operation
Even when the rider is partially at fault, they may still recover compensation under California’s comparative negligence laws. Attorney Dustin evaluates the entire situation to maximize your recovery.
Common Injuries in E-Bike Accidents
Because riders have very limited protection, injuries are often severe:
- Traumatic brain injuries (with or without a helmet)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken collarbones, wrists, arms, and ribs
- Facial fractures or dental injuries
- Severe road rash
- Internal organ damage
- Pelvic and hip fractures
- Soft tissue damage and chronic pain
Even low-speed impacts can cause long-term complications. Attorney Dustin works closely with your medical team to understand the full extent of your injuries and future needs.
What Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If you were injured in an e-bike accident, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term disability or disfigurement
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Diminished quality of life
Families who lost a loved one in an e-bike crash may also pursue a wrongful death claim.
Attorney Dustin’s goal is simple: to ensure you are not left paying the price for someone else’s negligence.
How Attorney Dustin Builds a Strong E-Bike Accident Case
E-bike accidents require more specialized attention than standard bicycle or vehicle collisions. Attorney Dustin takes a strategic approach that includes:
1. Immediate Investigation
He preserves evidence before it disappears—police reports, video footage, witness statements, and accident scene documentation.
2. Reviewing E-Bike Data
Many modern e-bikes store ride data such as speed, distance, and power output, which can be crucial for proving liability.
3. Working With Experts
He consults accident reconstructionists, engineers, medical experts, and e-bike specialists when needed.
4. Handling Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters often try to blame the rider or minimize the impact of the crash. Dustin handles all communication so you’re not taken advantage of.
5. Pursuing Maximum Compensation
Whether through negotiation or litigation, he builds a compelling case designed to achieve the best possible outcome.
