E-Bikes are becoming increasingly popular among kids and teens in San Diego. They\u2019re fun, fast, and eco-friendly, but they also come with real risks. If your child is involved in an e-bike accident, you may be left wondering: What legal options do you have? Who pays for the medical bills, past, present and future? Can you be reimbursed?<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

En Hariri Law Group<\/strong>, we help San Diego families navigate the complex legal aftermath of e-bike injuries. Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

New Law on Children Riding E-Bikes in San Diego<\/strong><\/h6>

\u00a0<\/p>

According to the Times of San Diego, <\/em>as of January 1, 2025, a new California law (AB 2234) allows cities and counties to prohibit children under 12 from riding e-bikes. This law was passed in response to rising injuries among minors. Cities like Coronado have already started enforcing stricter e-bike rules, and others are expected to follow.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Common E-Bike Injuries <\/strong><\/p>

E-Bikes may look like regular bikes, but the injuries they cause are often far more serious. We\u2019ve seen a growing number of cases involving:<\/p>

  1. Head trauma and concussions<\/li>
  2. Broken bones (arms, legs, wrists)<\/li>
  3. Dental trauma<\/li>
  4. Road rash and lacerations\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>
    Who pays the Medical Bills After an E-Bike Accident?<\/strong><\/h6>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Liability and payment of medical bills after an e-bike crash depend on the circumstances and who was at fault.<\/p>

    1. If the driver causes the accident:<\/strong> The driver\u2019s auto liability insurance may cover your child\u2019s medical expenses and related damages.<\/li>
    2. If another child caused the crash:<\/strong> The other child\u2019s family may have homeowner\u2019s or renter\u2019s insurance that could provide limited coverage.<\/li>
    3. If a bike malfunctioned or was unsafe:<\/strong> The manufacturer, retailer, or maintenance provider may be held liable under product liability laws.<\/li>
    4. If your child was at fault:<\/strong> Your own health insurance may be the only immediate option.<\/li><\/ol>

      En Hariri Law Group<\/strong>, we conduct a thorough investigation to identify all potential sources of compensation.<\/p>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      Why Helmets Matter<\/strong><\/p>

      Under California law, all riders under 18 must wear a helmet when operating an e-bike. Unfortunately, many children still ride without one.<\/p>

      Wearing a helmet:<\/p>

      1. Reduces the risk of head injury by up to 85%<\/li>
      2. Can be the difference between a mild concussion and life-altering brain injury<\/li><\/ol>

        We strongly recommend that every child wears a helmet every time they ride<\/p>
