We Can Help With All Types Of Accidents

Understanding Lime Bike Accident Claims
Lime bike accident claims may arise if you’ve been injured while using a Lime e-bike or if you were struck by one. Claims often involve cyclists, pedestrians or car drivers and depend on the facts of each incident. Negligence, faulty equipment or poor road conditions could be factors when determining liability.
Claim scenarios might include:
Faulty brakes or mechanical failures on a Lime e-bike
Being hit by a Lime bike while walking on a pavement
Motorists colliding with a Lime bike rider
Accidents caused by potholes or other hazards
Claims could be made to seek compensation for injuries such as fractures, whiplash or loss of earnings.
If you’re unsure whether you have grounds for a road traffic accident claim involving a Lime bike, why not ask a member of our team for recommendations tailored to your circumstances?
Common Causes of Lime Bike Accidents
Common causes of Lime bike accidents often relate to rider behaviour or equipment issues. Understanding how these factors interact may help you assess whether you could make a lime bike accident claim.
Negligent Riders
Negligent riders cause accidents through actions such as:
Failing to observe traffic signals at busy junctions
Riding on pavements and colliding with pedestrians
Using mobile phones while operating Lime bikes
Such behaviour may create risks for others and lead to claims.
Faulty Equipment
Faulty equipment contributes to accidents in many lime bike accident claim scenarios. Examples include:
Brake failures that reduce stopping ability
Malfunctioning lights that reduce nighttime visibility
Defective tyres that cause loss of control
A solicitor from our panel could investigate maintenance records or potential manufacturing issues for your claim. If equipment problems played a part in your accident, please get in touch to explore your options with a lime bike accident claim.
Steps to Take After a Lime Bike Accident
Following a Lime bike accident, your actions could directly impact a potential claim. You may strengthen your position by taking key steps at the scene and shortly afterwards.
Seek Medical Attention
Prioritise seeking medical attention if you suffer any injuries. Paramedics or doctors can record the extent and type of harm, which could range from fractures to head injuries. A solicitor from our panel could use your medical records as important evidence. If you’re unsure about what injuries qualify, please get in touch with a member of our team for guidance on Lime bike accident claim circumstances.
Gather Evidence
Collecting relevant evidence can support your Lime bike accident claim. You might gather:
Clear photographs of the scene, Lime bike, and visible injuries
Witness details, including contact numbers and statements
Footage from nearby CCTV or dashcams, if available
Any evidence you can secure at the time of your accident could significantly increase the chances of winning a Lime bike accident claim.
Report the Incident
Reporting the Lime bike accident could protect your legal position. You may inform:
The police, when injuries or serious damage are involved
Lime directly via their in-app system
The relevant local authority, if poor road conditions contributed
A solicitor from our panel may assist with notifying the correct parties. For help with reporting procedures or the claims process, please ask a member of our team about road traffic accident claim options.
How to Make a Lime Bike Accident Claim
You could pursue a Lime bike accident claim when negligence by another party, faulty equipment, or unsafe road conditions may have contributed to your injuries. A solicitor from our panel could guide you through each step, making the process clearer and more straightforward.

Determining liability in a Lime bike accident claim usually involves assessing the actions or omissions of all parties involved. Fault may lie with:
The Lime bike user, for example, if they failed to follow traffic regulations
Another road user, such as a car driver who did not give way
Lime, in scenarios involving maintenance failures or defective equipment
The local council, if unsafe road surfaces contributed, referencing the Highways Act 1980
