Personal Injury Lawyers and Mobility Insurance

Posted by Pete Best on December 14, 2011 under Personal Injury | Be the First to Comment

All Stairlifts and moving mobility aids come with some type of car seatbelt or harness for your own safety and protection when being transported via the Stair lift or powered wheelchair scooter

Failure to wear the seatbelt or harness supplied could result in personal injury. If the possess

or occupant has failed to wear the seatbelt provide a personal injury claim will not be justified since if the person using driving on the said device was wearing the seatbelt provided they would have not fallen of the Stairlift and injured themselves

Even the best personal injury lawyer will not have a leg to stand on if one fails to comply with the safety instructions provided or recommended by the supplier manufacturer

Albeit most owners users fail to comply with the manufacturer’s safety instructions and most users feel wearing a seatbelt or specified harness for a vehicle mechanism that travels at such low speeds is silly or not worth the effort etc

There have been some cases of personal injuries via the use of Stair lifts and power mobility aids. Failing to conform with the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter will for sure quash any claim one may file against the supplier or manufacturer

Yes we live in a society of “where there is “Blame There is a Claim” One should be wise to not only insure their mobility aids for personal injury but also for accidental damage to their own property and other user property they may be visiting or passing in the course of their journey

Hospital treatment and repairs to damaged mobility equipment can be dear as well as inconvenient leaving one with big fees to pay. Not easy if one is a retired pensioner / senior with limited money or finances tied up in penshion funds etc

Owners of powered wheelchair scooters should also consider some type of road assistance breakdown cover. Being marooned by the roadside with no means of getting oneself or their mobility equipment home or to a safe place would be daunting for most able users never mind the disabled or elderly
