Onewheel Skateboard Recall Lawyers
The Lyon Firm is investigating Onewheel skateboard injury claims on behalf of plaintiffs nationwide. Hundreds of American consumers have suffered severe injuries on Onewheels and many have filed product liability lawsuits against Future Motion, the parent company of the recalled skateboards.
After years of injury reports, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) finally began urging consumers to stop using Future Motion Onewheel self-balancing electric skateboards. At the time of the CPSC warning, in 2022, Future Motion refused to issue a blanket recall for the products that caused numerous serious injuries as well as four deaths. The California e-skateboard maker rejected the safety commission’s consumer warnings as “unjustified and alarmist.”
The CPSC has long warned that the e-skateboard riders could be ejected from the board, possibly resulting in head trauma and other severe injuries. At least four related deaths were reported to authorities between 2019 and 2021.
The Onewheel product allegedly failed to provide balance support for riders or suddenly stopped while in motion. Reported self-balancing skateboard injuries have included traumatic brain injury, concussion, paralysis, upper-body fractures, lower-body fractures, and ligament damage.
Those who have been affected by these products may be entitled to significant financial compensation for losses. Pursuing legal action may be needed to ensure you receive the full compensation you are entitled to under the law.

What Damages Are Available for a Onewheel Skateboard Recall Claim?
Damages in a Onewheel skateboard injury case may cover a wide range of expenses and losses. Depending on the case and the severity of the injuries, compensation may cover:
- Medical costs such as hospital expenses, medication bills, emergency room fees, and other losses
- Lost wages if the skateboard injury victim cannot work while recovering from their injuries
- Loss of future income if the skateboard injury affects the person’s ability to earn wages
- Long-term expenses like ongoing treatments, rehabilitation, and therapy
- Pain and suffering costs associated with such painful and traumatizing injuries
The compensation available in each case will vary depending on the facts and circumstances of each case. For instance, cases involving serious injuries like paralyzation, spinal injuries, brain injuries, and fatalities will warrant higher recovery amounts.
In addition, the experience and capability of the lawyer handling the Onewheel injury case can drastically affect the amount of financial assistance awarded. For this reason, it’s crucial to work with a defective products lawyer who has a proven background in handling product recall cases.
