Current Investigations
Onewheel
The lawyers at Pearce Lewis LLP are national leaders in handling cases arising from severe personal injuries sustained from riding defective Onewheel boards manufactured and designed by Future Motion, Inc. They co-represent the lion’s share of the 10 dozen cases (and counting) currently pending in various California state courts. The injuries sustained by Pearce Lewis clients range from death to traumatic brain injuries, to shattered bones, to emotional trauma. The majority of the firm’s Onewheel cases arise from unexpected nosedives and/or complete board shut-downs which occur without any warning, and which result in throwing the rider off the board. Other cases arise from “run-away Onewheels” where the boards unilaterally accelerate before shutting off.
The firm has led the charge in obtaining a coordinated (“JCCP”) action of the California state litigation –the firm anticipates that the coordinated action will proceed in Santa Cruz County, and with great efficiency pursuant to streamlined discovery procedures, by the end of this year.
The firm considers the recent recall of several hundred thousand Onewheels to be a small win for the consumers of this country and for proponents of product safety in general. The warning the recall has added to the boards is a step forward towards minimizing some of the dangers they pose and indicate that Future Motion’s prior warnings to riders and consumers were defective.
If you or a loved one has been hurt while riding one of Future Motion’s Onewheel boards, please call us at (415) 964-5225 or contact us here.
