St. Augustine's Largest Law Firm
St. Augustine Electric Bike Accident Lawyer
Protecting E-Bike Riders in Northeast Florida
Electric bikes (e-bikes) have become increasingly popular in St. Augustine, Palm Coast, Ponte Vedra, and across Florida. Locals and tourists use them to explore historic streets, beach communities, and scenic trails. Unfortunately, e-bike accidents are on the rise — often resulting in serious injuries when riders collide with vehicles, encounter unsafe roads, or are provided with defective rental equipment.
At St. Johns Law Group, our attorneys — including personal injury lawyer Josh Saxon — represent e-bike accident victims and their families. As St. Augustine’s largest law firm, with over 265 years of combined legal experience, we are prepared to hold negligent drivers, rental companies, and insurers accountable.

Yes. If the bike was defective or poorly maintained, the rental company may be held liable.
Q3: What if I was partially at fault for the crash?
You may still recover damages under Florida’s comparative negligence law, though your award could be reduced.

Yes. Liability can be complex, often involving drivers, rental companies, and insurers. An attorney ensures your rights are protected.
