Onewheel™ Injury Lawsuit
Onewheel™ Injury Claims
South Florida Attorneys Representing Injured Onewheel Riders
The product liability attorneys of Schlesinger Law Offices, P.A. in South Florida are on a mission to protect consumers from unsafe, defective, and recalled products, including the Onewheel™ electric skateboard. The Onewheel is a “self-balancing” personal electric board-sport vehicle (electric skateboard based on the manufacturer’s own definitions) that has a top speed of 25 mph. It is ridden like a skateboard and would be an inviting alternative for urban transportation if accidents caused by malfunctions were not commonly reported. Recently, Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel, has issued a recall of all 300,000 of their e-skateboards sold since 2014.
Do you own a Onewheel brand e-skateboard? Were you injured in an accident while riding it? You could have a strong claim to file, especially now that the product has been recalled.
Call (954) 467-8800 and talk to Schlesinger Law Offices, P.A. about filing a Onewheel product recall lawsuit. We offer free consultations to inquiring clients throughout South Florida.
Skateboard Issues & Recall
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a stark warning about Onewheel electric skateboards, “The CPSC warns consumers to stop using Onewheel self-balancing electric skateboards due to ejection hazard.” The CSPC states that there have been many Onewheel accidents reported, resulting in four confirmed deaths between 2019 and 2021.
The CPSC has also received numerous reports of serious injuries caused by Onewheel accidents, including:
- Paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Bone fractures
- Ligament damage (soft tissue injuries)
The many reports prompted Future Motion to issue a recall for all Onewheel models, including:
- Onewheel®
- Onewheel+®
- Onewheel+ XR®
- Onewheel Pint®
- Onewheel Pint X®
- Onewheel GT®
Most injury claims involve “nosedive” incidents, in which the device’s balancing mechanism stops working, causing the board to tip forward into the ground and eject the rider. Depending on the speed the rider was traveling and surrounding vehicle or foot traffic conditions, a nosedive incident can result in serious or fatal injuries.
