Erin Cuevas has filed a lawsuit against a scooter rental company, alleging negligence after a malfunctioning scooter caused her significant injuries. The complaint was lodged by Erin Cuevas in the Circuit Court of the 6th Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on April 22, 2025, naming VeoRide, Inc., doing business as VEO, as the defendant.

The case centers around an incident that occurred on January 24, 2023. According to the complaint, Cuevas rented a scooter from VeoRide and was riding it near 5th Ave N in St. Petersburg, Florida when it malfunctioned. This malfunction allegedly led to Cuevas being thrown off the scooter, resulting in severe bodily harm. The plaintiff’s claims detail extensive injuries including pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life. Furthermore, Cuevas asserts that these injuries have led to substantial medical expenses and have impacted her ability to earn money.

Cuevas contends that VeoRide is liable for her injuries due to their negligence in renting out a defective product. The lawsuit accuses VeoRide of failing to ensure that their scooters were safe for public use. “When Defendant rented the item,” the complaint states, “it was defective.” Cuevas argues that this defect was both the actual and proximate cause of her injuries.
