Personal Injury Attorney in Los Angeles, CA

Hacala v. Bird Rides Inc.

The Hacala v. Bird Rides, Inc. case (2023) changed California law by allowing pedestrians injured by e-scooters to sue scooter companies for public nuisance, potentially holding them liable for negligence in scooter placement and safety.

The ruling established that scooter companies have a duty to remove or reposition scooters that pose an unreasonable risk of danger to pedestrians, and that pedestrians can sue scooter companies for negligence in such cases.
