We are experts in personal injury claims involving electric skateboards.
Electric skateboards have become a popular and convenient mode of transport, but they also come with significant risks. If you’ve been injured while using an electric skateboard — due to a malfunction, sudden braking, or another unexpected mechanical issue — you may be entitled to compensation.
These accidents can happen anywhere — in public areas such as footpaths and roads, or on private property like driveways or skate parks. Regardless of where your accident occurred, we’re here to help you understand your rights and pursue a successful claim.

Common Causes of Electric Skateboard Accidents
Electric skateboard injuries can result from a range of causes, including but not limited to:
- Sudden power loss or battery failure mid-ride
- Brake malfunction or unexpected acceleration
- Steering or stability issues
- Manufacturing or design defects
- Negligent behaviour by other road users or pedestrians
If your injury was caused by any of the above — or by a similar issue — you may have grounds for a claim. We’ll help you identify the cause and gather the necessary evidence to support your case.
What can I claim for?
You are entitled to claim compensation for the following:
- The pain and suffering you have experienced.
- Your past and future loss of income (including superannuation).
- Your past and future out-of-pocket expenses (e.g. medical, travel, rehabilitation).

Frequently
Asked
Questions
Are there time limits in bringing a claim?
Yes. Strict time limits apply to electric skateboard injury claims. Delays can seriously impact your rights, so contact us as soon as possible to determine whether you’re still within the applicable timeframe.
How long will my claim take?
The length of your claim depends on how severe your injuries are and the complexity of your case. Generally, most claims take between 12 months and 3 years to finalise. There may be an initial waiting period while your injuries stabilise before your entitlements can be properly assessed.
Who May Be Liable?
Electric skateboard claims can be complex, particularly when determining liability. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, the following parties may be held responsible:
- The manufacturer or distributor of the electric skateboard
- The owner or operator of the premises where the accident occurred
- Another rider, cyclist, or road user who contributed to the accident
- A local council or authority responsible for hazardous paths or road conditions
Our team will investigate your case thoroughly to ensure all responsible parties are identified and held accountable.
How much compensation can I receive?
Each claim is unique. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the nature and impact of your injuries — including how they affect your ability to work, your daily life, and your future wellbeing. For more information, see the latest CTP statistics or speak directly with one of our lawyers.
Do I need to pay a fee?
No. We operate on a no win, no fee basis — which means you won’t pay us anything unless your claim is successful and you are awarded compensation.
Can I still make a claim if I wasn’t wearing safety gear?
Possibly. While not wearing protective gear may impact your case, it does not automatically disqualify you from claiming compensation. We’ll assess how this factor may affect your claim and help you navigate the legal implications.
