Comedian Kenny DeForest Dies in E-Bike Accident – E-Bike Accident Lawyers
Breaking News: Comedian Kenny DeForest, 37, died after an e-bike accident on December 8, 2023. According to reports, DeForest underwent neurological surgery to remove a piece of his skull and relieve pressure in his brain. Unfortunately, he passed a few days later on December 13, 2023.
According to his family and friends, they believed that he crashed his e-bike at the intersection of Rogers Avenue and Sterling Place (near Prospect Park). Although they first believed that the incident involved a vehicle and was a hit-and-run, both the EMS report and a witness (who was working as a crossing guard at the time of the incident) confirmed that there was no other vehicle involved in the incident.

E-bikes gained popularity over the last few years, so they have become relatively common to see out on roads. Because of this, the number of incidents involving e-bikes have steadily increased. There are many possible causes of e-bike accidents. Some possible causes are listed below:
- User error – riders speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, cutting drivers off, not having both hands on the handles, riding while distracted, riding while under the influence, etc.
- Negligent drivers – speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, driving on bike lanes, ignoring traffic signals, driving while distracted, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, etc.
- Defective products – defective e-bikes, including defects in manufacturing, design, and labeling (examples include the e-bike suddenly stopping, losing power, not steering, sudden braking, handlebar detaching during use, tires detaching, etc.)
- Defective roads – road defects making the road conditions dangerous, like poorly designed roads, a lack of traffic signals, traffic lights not in sync, no speed limit signs, etc.)
