Riders sue Lime over alleged scooter injuries
Lawsuit filed
Riders filed a complaint in California state court against Lime, Segway and other defendants, alleging that defects or inadequate maintenance of Lime scooters caused rider injuries. The complaint asserts product liability, negligence and warranty claims; these are allegations, not established findings.
Source excerpt
The plaintiffs claimed that the Lime scooters are “defective or not properly maintained causing severe injuries to riders, such as the [p]laintiffs.”
On Tuesday, riders filed a complaint in the California State Superior Court in San Francisco County against Neutron Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Lime; Segway Inc., who manufactured the Lime scooters; and Does 1-50, over injuries allegedly sustained from riding Lime scooters, some of which required surgery.
The claims for relief against the defendants are strict product liability, negligence, breach of implied warranty of fitness for a particular or intended purpose, and breach of implied warranty of merchantability.
