You suffered injuries in a semi-truck accident, and you deserve to get compensation for your injuries. Despite how clear the cause of your injuries may be, getting the money you deserve can still mean a fight with the person who hit you, their employer, and the insurance company. One of the most important questions is: how do you get what you deserve in a semi-truck accident? https://bit.ly/35HrINQ

The e-bike boom is not going away, and ridership will continue growing. These vehicles offer genuine benefits and are a meaningful part of a greener transportation future. But realizing that future safely means taking the risks seriously, demanding better safety standards, and making sure the rules governing e-bikes reflect that they are fast, powerful vehicles that deserve the same serious attention we give to any other motorized form of transportation. https://bit.ly/3QFZ0UY

Some states are starting to regulate e-bikes in the absence of any federal laws. Connecticut passed sweeping e-bike safety legislation in 2025, and New Jersey recently enacted what's been called the strongest e-bike law in the country, with age limits and permit requirements across all classes. Does your state have e-bike laws? Check here:

All property owners have a legal duty to keep their properties clear of obstructions or potentially hazardous conditions that may injure pedestrians, visitors, or customers. But owners of commercial properties have a greater responsibility to uphold this legal duty. Failure to do so is considered negligent. https://bit.ly/3ZuW7Gg

The most underreported e-bike story isn't the crashes. It's the battery fires caused by exploding lithium-ion batteries. They happen in apartments, storage rooms, and garages, where the bikes are charging overnight. These fires burn at extremely high temperatures and are very difficult to extinguish once they start.

Federal officials are considering a crackdown on defective lithium-ion batteries that power hoverboards, scooters and motorized bicycles because of a rash of deadly fires caused by exploding batteries.

One detail that tends to get lost in the e-bike safety conversation: the median age of injured riders is significantly higher than that of traditional cyclists, suggesting that many older adults are taking on vehicles capable of 20 to 28 mph without fully accounting for how different that experience is from riding a conventional bike.

Electric bikes and scooters have soared in popularity in recent years, but a UCSF study has found that accidents stemming from these "micromobility" vehicles have also soared.

Not every personal injury case goes to trial. In New Jersey, most auto accident claims are settled before a lawsuit is even filed. However, if the interested parties can’t agree on a settlement amount, or if they can’t agree on who’s at fault, then it’s likely that the plaintiff’s lawyer will file a lawsuit and let a jury decide the outcome of the case. https://bit.ly/35HrINQ

One of the most important factors to understand about e-bikes is that they are not just faster bicycles. A Class 3 e-bike can reach almost 30 miles per hour! Yet e-bikes are still classified by the federal government as nonmotorized vehicles. That classification determines who needs a license, who needs insurance, and what safety standards apply. https://bit.ly/4n1XrMT

Janet Stotko was out for her usual evening walk when a 14-year-old on an e-bike hit her from behind at 25 mph. She was unresponsive when first responders arrived, required emergency brain surgery, and will live with permanent neurological damage — including the loss of her taste and smell — for the rest of her life.

A crash involving an electric bike nearly took the life of Janet Stotko​, a Hastings, Minnesota, woman, in the summer of 2024. Wednesday she testified at Minnesota House Transportation committee meeting advocating for a bill for better protections.

Unfortunately, some people go to the doctor to find they are constantly interrupted, or a provider does not take their concerns seriously. Healthcare workers may blame the patient for the condition or suggest a mental health challenge is the cause. All these scenarios are examples of medical gaslighting, which can contribute to poor medical care. https://bit.ly/35HrINQ

The rate of e-bike injuries surged by almost 300% between 2019 and 2022. https://bit.ly/3OlRuxD
