Bicycle Rental Injury Lawsuit – for Renting Broken or Defective Bikes Resulting in Injury

Being off on a vacation in a new or unfamiliar city is an exciting part of traveling coast to coast in our country. Every town it seems has bike rental companies, to help you to satisfy your wanderlust to get out and enjoy the area and nature as well. If you rent a bike, you will know that your bike is the only thing between you and your having a great time on your bike ride. Better said, if your bike is in poor condition, you are not going to be having a great bike ride or a great day. A poorly maintained bike rental bicycle is a recipe for disaster, and disaster you will find with a bike that is broken, has defects or is a basic menace on the roads.

Bike Rental Contracts Require Bike Rental Customers to Be Responsible for the Damage to the Bike, But Are They Really Liable for That Damage?

The bike rental agreement will have you sign on the dotted line, after you agree that you will be fully responsible for any damage to the bike caused by an accident, misuse or for any negligence that you perform on the bicycle. But if you rent a bike and it comes back from the last customer damaged, you may have an accident because of the shoddy way the bike is maintained from one customer to another. Of course, you might be responsible for any damage you perpetuate on the rental bike, but who was keeping that last customer who rented the bike accountable? The customer before you may have been doing jumps, stunts, bumps and other dangerous tricks on the bike you are renting, which means that the bike can breakdown and become broken while you are going on your nice leisurely ride on the bike on a Sunday afternoon.

Can a Defect Bypass the Owner of a Rental Bike Company and Remain Unseen Until an Accident Happens?

Yes, a defective bike can be in the bike fleet of a bike rental company, and the owner may never know that it is there. If you owned a bike rental company and had many bikes, you would want to take them out and continuously review the safety of your bike fleet. This would ensure that they were safe to go out to the customers on rentals. Even better, if you checked each bike that came back to you following a bike rental, to ensure that the bikes were still performing at top capacity, then you would be a proactive bike rental shop owner, and you should be commended for your actions. Unfortunately though, many bike rental shop owners get bikes back from customers who rent the bikes, and just put them back in line to be taken out on a rental again right away. Without looking over the bikes, ensuring that they are in top form and good working order, there are going to be accidents, mistakes, problems and concerns with many of the bikes at the bike rental shop. The bikes with the most issues are going to be continued to go out on rentals, and these bikes have the highest chance of causing and creating serious accidents for the bike renters and for other people on the street. For example, if a bike has problems with the brakes on the bike and the owner of the bike rental shop does not fix the brakes, the next customer who rents that defective bike can have a serious accident with him or herself, and other people in the community – when the brakes fail on that bicycle.
