Hussey Fraser, the leading Personal Injury Solicitors, has been successfully representing clients for 30 years offering professional guidance and assistance across all areas of personal injury. In recent years this includes E-Bike and E-Scooter accidents and claims.
Current Legal status of E-Bikes and E-Scooters (Feb 2022)
- At present E-Bikes and E-Scooters are not regulated in Ireland.
- While currently defined as ‘mechanically propelled vehicles’ (MPV’s) there is no specific law governing their usage in Ireland.
- The government is in the process of legislating for their usage on Irish roads via The Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021.
- For more information regarding this Legislation please visit the Road Safety Authority’s FAQ guide.
E-Bike and E-Scooter Accidents
- E-Scooter and E-Bike users are very vulnerable to Road Traffic Accidents and potentially to the resulting accident trauma.
- This is due to
- the lack of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE),
- short reaction time,
- low fall height,
- higher speed of other vehicles,
- lack of driver experience.
This can result in severe and complex injuries

Submit Case Details Hussey Fraser Claims Service Offering
In the event of an accident that is not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation as there may be a legal remedy in the form of an e-Scooter or e-Bike Accident Claim.
- Such accidents can take many forms but in the case of an incident involving another vehicle, it is generally the registered driver’s insurance company that will be responsible for any claim arising, as insurance is mandatory on all vehicles on Irish roads.
- In the event of a Personal Injury claim, Hussey Fraser will provide expert and impartial assistance to ensure you receive the justice you deserve. Any compensation awarded can help to cover medical expenses as well as loss of earnings from time spent out of work.
- The first step will be to submit your claim to PIAB (The Personal Injuries Assess ment Board) for assessment.

We introduce you to the Personal Injury Claims Process in a straightforward and helpful manner.

Professional and reliable...
Conor at Hussey Fraser was my solicitor for a road traffic accident case. He was both professional and reliable and kept me and my family fully up to speed on every development as it happened. He was great to deal with and made what would have been a stressful and difficult experience so much easier. The case went how we wanted it to go, and I'm thankful for his and all at Hussey Frasers help! 10/10
I felt involved and informed in every step...
I have nothing but praise for the work done by Emer McDermott and her colleagues on my case with Hussey Fraser. They provided expert advice in the first instance and were all too happy to take the time to explain and discuss issues as they arose so that I felt involved and informed in every step. In my case, having emigrated in the midst of proceedings, they were able to facilitate me being on the opposite side of the world in a timezone that was anywhere between 11 and 13 hours ahead of GMT. Their communication, professionalism and the outcome they achieved were all excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Friendly, down to earth, easy to deal with. Always felt in good hands. Highly recommend....
