We have all seen them. Mall cops ride Segways, and young tourists, as well as kids all over the world, especially while visiting the beach. Personal injury attorneys will be the first to tell you that California Segway accidents can easily result in serious injuries.
A Segway is a machine designed to:
Important: If the machine halts and you are already leaning forward, you can easily get thrown off and could end up doing a faceplant.
Now, many law firms like Ehline Law Firm are getting personal injury cases involving allegations of:
Throughout the United States, product liability attorneys are evaluating the potential cases of Segway accidents that have resulted in severe or permanent injuries. Our law firm has already settled several of these cases and is ready to assist anyone else who was injured.

From Ehline Law Firm’s perspective, the company itself does not seem to be too interested in issuing recalls. So it is more or less up to us lawyers to hold them accountable for these known defects.
Segway Inc. is the company that sells the two-wheeled personal transporter was:
En mass, it was rapidly discovered it was released to market much too early for many in the consuming public.
Based upon the calls we get, and cases we take involving Segways, these machines have other safety issues that have not resulted in recalls, like:
For example, there have been reports of Segway calamities by users when the transporter did not act in response to controls. As discussed in the introduction, they have also been reported to cause users to be thrown from the unit when it stopped suddenly or jerked unexpectedly.
Injuries can be severe due to the high speeds the transporter can travel.
The injuries riders face from Segway Injuries Include:
Going after a product manufacturer for manufacturing and design defects is no walk in the park. Manufacturers attempt to escape legal responsibility for badly designed or hazardous products by using different red-herring arguments.
For example, they will:
If Your Injury Was Foreseeable By Segway, Liability Applies?
Negligence law says if the personal injury is foreseeable, in other words, that someone can be easily injured. The manufacturer knew or should have known of these risks to life and health but failed to act to prevent it. The defendant is liable in tort.
For example, the gyroscope automation operates in the many different riding conditions that a relatively inexperienced rider could face.
What makes us so great? Well, for one thing, we take the “foreseeability test” very seriously. In addition to inspecting the incident scene ourselves, our legal advocates employ expensive and highly educated safety engineers, design experts, biomechanical specialists, and even accident re-constructionists to determine predictability. And we do this to prove beyond a reasonable doubt; it was not your fault!
You see, we want to prove your case beyond a shadow of a doubt to a jury. Our goal is to ensure the insurance adjuster, in-house carrier, umbrella, and excess carriers know they have high exposure to a possible runaway verdict.
And we do so before we even dare step one foot into the courthouse. And this is because our firm is in it to win it. We front-load our cases rather than wait until the last minute after doing little to build the value of your case.
