We are already aware that multiple people ended up with serious damage to their property because of a fire caused by these batteries overheating. However, defective lithium ion batteries are also associated with severe injuries, such as:

• Severe burns
• Disfiguring injuries, like permanent scars
• Permanent damage to the skin, muscles and bones
• Never damage leading to paralysis
• Seizures
• Damage to the lungs and respiratory tract  
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Loss of consciousness
• Coma
• Death

Aside from your immediate injuries, you may also have long-term health complications that require lifetime medical treatment. Accidents caused by fires can also take away your ability to work and provide for your family. Tragically, some victims die from the impact of severe burns, CO poisoning and other potentially fatal injuries.

Those who are injured in an accident caused by an overheating UPP e-bike battery may have grounds to sue for the following damages:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages during the recovery period
• Lifetime lost wages if you are unable to work
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of or damage to your belongings
• Legal fees
• Punitive damages

It’s important to go over the details of your case with a defective product lawyer and verify which of these payments you are entitled to. That way, you can fight for the full value of your losses, instead of settling for an amount that’s far less than what you deserve.

The Unit Pack Power Bike Battery has the potential to cause death from a fire and the injuries associated with these incidents.

Depending on your situation, you may qualify to receive some or all of the following payments:

• Funeral / burial expenses
• Medical bills up until the date of death
• Loss of expected income and benefits
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Attorneys’ fees

A wrongful death lawyer at our office can go over the legal process with you and help you build a strong case against Unit Pack Power for a death caused by an overheating lithium ion e-bike battery.

Quick action, compelling evidence, and guidance from a personal injury lawyer are the keys to succeeding in a product liability lawsuit. If you were harmed in an accident that was caused by a defective e-bike battery, here are the steps we recommend:

• If you or your loved one sustained severe injuries, call 911 or go to an emergency room immediately.
• If you are not severely hurt, try and take photos or video of the injuries, damage to your home / other property, and the product that caused the accident.
• If there are witnesses that saw what happened, ask them for written statements or get their contact information (your lawyer can reach out to them later)
• Seek medical attention within 72 hours, as early intervention is the key to preventing permanent injury / health complications. In addition, going to a hospital within this timeframe is crucial to preserving your rights when it comes to a defective product lawsuit.
• Inform the manufacturer about the accident and make sure to decline any offers, like a refund of the purchase price or replacement battery. By accepting a remedy from the product maker, you could end up forfeiting your right to sue them in the future.
• As soon as possible, contact a lawyer who is experienced in lawsuits against negligent product manufacturers so that you can learn about your rights and legal options.

At the end of the day, money in itself is not enough to make up for what you went through. However, it’s essential to recover the costs that you incurred through no fault of your own. Furthermore, you are holding the manufacturer accountable and setting an example to others by suing for injuries and property loss that was caused by a dangerous product.

Of course, paying for a lawyer is impossible for most people who are already dealing with medical bills, time off from work, and other issues that affect their finances. Here at DTLA Law Group, we have a Zero Fee Guarantee policy that allows you to hire a product injury lawsuit attorney for $0. Instead of charging you for our expenses, we ask the manufacturer to cover these costs as a part of your settlement. That means we only get paid by winning your case, and you are not responsible for any legal fees if you don’t get paid from a defective product accident claim.

Our law firm is available to take your call 24/7, so please contact us and schedule a free consultation.
