Protecting Riders Injured on WNY’s Growing E-Bike Routes
E-Bike Accident Lawyers in Buffalo & Western New York
E-Bike Accidents
E-bikes have transformed how people move around Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and communities across Western New York. They’re affordable, convenient, and increasingly common on city streets.
But when a rider is hit by a car or injured because a driver wasn’t paying attention, the consequences can be serious — and confusing to navigate alone.
At The Law Offices of John V. Elmore, P.C., we stand up for injured riders and help them get the compensation they deserve. With decades of experience handling complex injury cases, our team is here to advocate for you and guide you through every step of the process.
We work directly with clients — no call centers, no barriers.
Why E-Bike Accidents Are Different
-
E-bike cases often involve challenges that make them more complex than standard bicycle crashes:
-
- Higher speeds, leading to more significant injuries
-
- Shared responsibility questions
-
- Insurance disputes, especially when drivers deny fault
-
- Expensive medical bills that can quickly overwhelm injured riders
-
These factors give insurance companies plenty of opportunities to push blame onto the rider.
We push back.
Common Causes of E-Bike Accidents
- We represent riders injured in crashes involving:
-
- Distracted or inattentive drivers
-
- Failure to yield at intersections
-
- Dooring incidents
-
- Unsafe lane changes
-
- Speeding or reckless driving
-
- Unsafe road conditions
- When someone’s negligence causes your injuries, you deserve accountability — and the resources to heal and move forward.
What to Do After an E-Bike Accident
Taking the right steps early can protect your health and your case:
-
1. Get medical attention immediately.
-
2. Call the police and ensure an accident report is filed.
- 3. Photograph your injuries, the bike, and the scene.
- 4. Save the e-bike — do not repair or return it.
- 5. Avoid giving statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.
- If you’re not sure what to do next, we’ll walk you through it.
