Over the last few years there has been a considerable increase in use of mobility scooters. These can pose a considerable danger to pedestrians, both on the pavement and in shops. The injuries often occur when the user of the scooter is unable to sufficiently control it or is riding the scooter at an excess speed.
Scooter drivers should have taken out insurance to cover them for accidents. Therefore, if the driver causes an injury, the person who sustains the injury should be able to pursue a claim against the scooter driver’s insurers.
We have acted for many clients who have sustained injury as a result of a scooter driver’s negligence and sustained substantial compensation on their behalf.
