Can you sue Lime for a scooter injury in the Bronx? Whether you're a tourist or a New Yorker, Lime represents a convenient way to get around. The Bronx is one of New York City's core shared e-scooter markets: NYC DOT's program allows shared e-scooter rentals in the East Bronx, and Lime operates there along with Bird and Veo. If you were injured while riding a scooter in the Bronx, contact Cohan Law, PLLC for more detailed legal guidance. Its Bronx personal injury lawyer can evaluate whether your crash involved a defective scooter, negligent maintenance, unsafe app instructions, a careless driver, or another party's wrongdoing. Lime is currently facing numerous personal injury lawsuits. Personal injury lawsuits against Lime are certainly possible, and many plaintiffs are currently attempting to sue the company. According to a May 2026 report by Seeking Alpha, Lime is currently pursuing an Initial Public Offering (IPO) as a strategy to pay down almost $1 billion in debt. The report highlighted "legal risks" for potential investors, noting that the company is involved in "many legal proceedings" related to injuries. These legal proceedings include class-action lawsuits. Dozens of victims have accused Lime of poor scooter maintenance that directly contributed to brain injuries, fractures, and other traumatic injuries. Specifically, these victims argue that the scooter rental company failed to properly maintain its brakes and throttles. For Bronx riders, these maintenance and safety questions are especially relevant because shared scooters are deployed for short trips in dense East Bronx neighborhoods, near transit connections, commercial corridors, and busy roadways. When might Lime be liable for my injuries? Generally speaking, claims involving poor scooter maintenance seem most viable. If you can establish that the scooter you were riding was defective in some way, it should be relatively easy to hold the scooter company liable. Consider speaking to an injury lawyer about how to gain access to the scooter in question as soon as possible and preserve it as evidence. You may need to have an independent mechanical expert examine the electric vehicle to identify defects. Generally speaking, Lime is not liable for injuries that were a direct result of rider "behavior." For example, you might have crashed your scooter into a concrete barrier for no apparent reason. If the accident was caused because you lost control and not because of a mechanical issue, it may be difficult to sue Lime. That being said, Lime could be liable for certain types of rider behavior. For example, Lime instructions may conflict with local laws. If Lime fails to update these instructions, it may become liable for your injuries. Suppose the local municipality bans riding e-bikes on the sidewalk, but the Lime instructions in your app specifically told you to stay off the road (or vice versa). These "negligent instructions" could potentially lead to injury lawsuits. Another obvious option would be to sue another negligent driver who caused your crash. In the Bronx, scooter crashes may happen near East Bronx operating areas, subway and bus connections, shopping corridors, apartment buildings, schools, parks, and intersections where riders have to mix with cars, trucks, buses, delivery vehicles, and pedestrians.

City, TXST approves contract with Lime scooters. August 31, 2026 Texas State computer information systems major Sammy Wells rides a scooter through campus, Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2020, on the Bobcat Trail by the Quad. State and the San Marcos City Council approved a partnership with the owners of Lime to make scooters accessible to residents, students and visitors of San Marcos. Scooters are expected to begin operating on Sept. 1, after Texas State's Sustainability Department executed a contract with Lime to allow scooters in designated areas around campus, and after the city council approved their partnership with Lime on Aug. 18. Emma Parsley, program manager for the Office of Sustainability, said in an email to The Star that the agreement is intended to support Texas State's sustainability efforts by expanding the transportation options available to Bobcats. The ridership data will be shared with both the city and Texas State. "That information can help the university and city understand how the service is being used and evaluate its role within the overall transportation system," Parsley wrote. The agreement hopes to provide alternative transportation, particularly for shorter trips around campus. During the meeting, it was stated that the new agreement with Lime will operate using the same map as SPIN, with the addition of the east side of the interstate. San Marcos previously had a contract with SPIN, a dockless scooter company; the contract ended on June 30, 2025. Lonny Stern, Texas government relations lead, stated during the city council meeting on Aug. 18 that the program is intended for 18-year-olds and older, requiring any adult who registers and allows a minor to ride a scooter to take full responsibility. Areas that will be considered no-ride zones, like riding near the river, will not be permitted, and Lime hopes to begin working on designated parking areas, Stern said during the city council meeting. The council is planning on testing out locations of parking corrals by adding street tape until it is approved. "We'll ask them [participants] to register and say that they want this service. When they do that, they give us an email that then becomes part of their account; anytime their account uses the scooter, they get the discount," Stern said during the meeting. Looking at access programs and simply going based on geographic zone isn't as effective as registering and showing proof of eligibility, Stern said during the city council meeting. The agreement includes revenue to the city in the form of a per-trip fee of $0.10 for trips originating within San Marcos, according to the San Marcos City Council agenda. Lime will be offering a Lime access program to lower-income participants, and a 50% discount. This program will be accessible to those who receive any federal, local, or state assistance, according to Amy Finn, transit manager for San Marcos, during the city council meeting. The application for the access program requires the rider's name, email and proof of eligibility. The proof must be submitted through a file upload. Programs that are accepted include: SNAP, Medicaid, Reduced-rate utility bill, free or reduced school lunch program, reduced transit fare program, Social Security, WIC, federally subsidized housing, Pell Grant recipient, and Local or state-subsidized housing. Anyone who receives any kind of government assistance is eligible. Jason Harris, a radiation therapy junior, said he uses a scooter every day to get around campus more easily, and believes that scooters are safe. "Usually scooters are safe. If you are taught to be safe, same thing with cars and motorcycles, it could be dangerous if the person is unreliable or deemed dangerous," Harris said. Harris said scooters are convenient for students who have to walk long distances between classes, and for students with injuries who struggle walking through stairs. Kaityln Kostelnik, public relations senior, believes that scooters are convenient but they pose a safety concern to students walking, especially in large areas that are normally crowded. Kostelnik said she has been shoulder-bumped in just this past week, being unable to move away from the crowd. "It's imperative to remember, you are in a motor vehicle, you are going faster than a normal pedestrian walking, and even though you're not in a car, you should still follow those motor safety laws," Kostelnik said. Kostelnik hopes to see some changes made to ensure the safety of pedestrians before she feels fully comfortable with scooters around campus.

Lime Canada launching e-scooter program in Red Deer. Published 1:46 pm Thursday, August 27, 2026 | Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... | Sharable E-scooters are set to return to Red Deer. On Thursday, Aug. 28, Lime Canada will be launching a fleet of its white and green Gen-4 e-scooters, scaling up to a fleet of several hundred in the coming weeks. "Lime Canada is thrilled to announce our plan to launch in Red Deer with our latest green and white Gen-4 e-scooters, which residents may have seen in nearby Alberta cities and across the country," said Carling Dick, government relations lead at Lime Canada. "We are grateful for the opportunity to provide residents and visitors with a safe, reliable, and sustainable way to get around. We look forward to working closely with our partners at the City of Red Deer, building networks within the local community and delivering a great experience for riders." Lime Canada, the Canadian arm of international shared micromobility business Lime, has operated in Edmonton for years and recently launched again in Calgary. During the warmer months, Alberta's cities consistently rank among Lime's highest-performing markets globally. This past July, Lime Canada announced its acquisition of Neuron Mobility Canada Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary. Lime then stated it would assume Neuron's operations following "a brief transition period." Neuron had a presence in Red Deer since 2021, which is when the city introduced a three-year e-scooter pilot program. That program became a permanent fixture in 2024. In 2025, more than 333,500 kilometres were travelled on Neuron E-scooters across Red Deer, Blackfalds, Lacombe and Sylvan Lake. The company's 2026 season begin this past April. Shared e-scooter and e-bike operations in the City of Red Deer are managed through a Licence Agreement with the operator. The agreement outlines operating requirements such as speed limits, geofenced areas, equipment standards, insurance, customer service, unit retrieval and liability. There are no financial or contractual impacts to the City of Red Deer as a result of this change.
