If you or a loved one were injured from a OneWheel electric skateboard, you may be entitled to recover financial compensation from a OneWheel lawsuit case or settlement claim.
A team of products liability injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating potential OneWheel lawsuit cases and settlement claims of those who were injured or died from a OneWheel electric skateboard.
OneWheel is a self-balancing one-wheeled electric skateboard comprised of a motor, battery, footpad sensor and other electronic components and a wheel in the middle of the board with front and rear footpads where the rider stands astride the wheel.
On September 29, 2023, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of 300,000 Onewheel Self-Balancing Electric Skateboards because the skateboards can stop balancing the rider if the boards’ limits are exceeded, posing a crash hazard that can result in serious injury or death.

Products Liability Litigation, MDL Case No. 3087, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Judge Beth Labson Freeman).
Future Motion, Inc., who designed, developed, manufactured, produced, distributed, marketed, and/or sold the OneWheel electric skateboards, is named as a Defendant in the OneWheel lawsuits.
The OneWheel lawsuits allege, among other things, that the recalled Onewheel electric skateboards are defective because they can unexpectedly stop or shut off, causing the front of the skateboard to “nosedive” into the ground and throw the rider off at speeds as high as 20 miles per hour.
The OneWheel lawsuit complaints assert claims for, among other things, alleged negligence, strict liability, design defect, manufacturing defect, failure to warn, breach of express warranty, and/or breach of implied warranty of merchantability.
The OneWheel lawsuits seek, among other things, compensatory damages for physical, mental and emotional pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, loss of wages and wage-earning capacity, loss of consortium, and/or an award of attorneys’ fees and costs.

Time Is Limited To File A OneWheel Lawsuit
Specific deadlines known as statutes of limitation and statutes of repose can limit the amount of time that individuals have to file a OneWheel lawsuit to try to recover compensation for injuries they claimed to have suffered from a OneWheel electric skateboard.
This means that if a One Wheel lawsuit case is not filed before the applicable time limit or deadline, a claimant may be prohibited from ever pursuing litigation or taking legal action regarding the OneWheel injury claim. That is why it is important to connect with a OneWheel injury lawyer or attorney as soon as possible.
