E-bikes are changing how Texans commute to work and school, and navigate their cities. E-bikes offer a convenient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective alternative to cars and traditional bikes. However, as e-bikes rise in popularity, so do accidents involving them. Unfortunately, many e-bike accidents occur due to human negligence including distracted driving, reckless driving, and defective parts.
Our experienced team understands the legal complexities of e-bike accident claims thanks to our years of experience and extensive knowledge. Therefore, you can trust us to take on your claim and fiercely advocate for the maximum compensation you deserve.
We take a personalized approach, creating an effective legal plan based on your unique needs and circumstances. This commitment to excellence gives you the best chance of receiving a fair settlement and peace of mind that your claim is in the right hands.
If you have suffered injuries in an e-bike accident, our dedicated lawyers at Butler Injury Law are here to help you fight for your rights and hold the liable party accountable.
According to Texas law, electric bikes are divided into classes: Class I, II, and III. Class I e-bikes have a motor that only engages when you are pedaling, while Class II bikes have a pedal-assisted throttle system. Both of these bikes do not exceed 20 miles per hour. Class III e-bikes only have pedal assist, but they can go up to 28 miles per hour.
The class of your e-bike determines the laws that apply to you, so it is important to have a sticker on your e-bike that indicates the class. Also, consider the following regulations:

After suffering injuries in an e-bike accident, it can be challenging to know where to start in filing a claim and pursuing compensation. With the support and guidance of our compassionate lawyers, you can focus on healing while we provide unmatched comprehensive services that cover every element of your claim, including the following:
As the victim of another party’s negligence in filing a claim, you carry the burden of proof. This means your claim must contain evidence that proves the following points:
Whether your e-bike accident resulted from a distracted driver, reckless driver, manufacturing defect, or poor road conditions, we can help you seek the justice you deserve by thoroughly investigating the case and gathering evidence.
The impact of an e-bike accident often goes beyond physical, and you deserve compensation for the full scope of your losses the liable party caused. Depending on the severity of your injuries and other circumstances, you may recover the following damages:
We consider every detail when calculating your claim’s worth to ensure your settlement covers your current and future damages.
Even if you were partially responsible for an e-bike accident, you may still recover damages with Texas’ modified comparative negligence system, which assigns each party involved a percentage of fault. This percentage gets deducted from each party’s respective compensation. However, anyone over 50% at fault cannot recover damages.
Acting quickly is crucial after an e-bike accident because Texas law only gives victims two years to file a lawsuit. While this may seem like plenty of time, your recovery and complex legal process can make it challenging to meet this deadline without help from an experienced lawyer. At Butler Injury Law, we work efficiently to ensure you take full advantage of your opportunity to fight for your rights and compensation.
