If this poor girl was hit by a privately owned e-scooter, she is likely to have a difficult time accessing compensation for her injuries. The law has some catching up to do... Three-year-old girl suffers life-changing injuries after being hit by e-scooter https://t.co/ls0DwV2rs2

A sad thread, more needs to be done to protect these vulnerable road users and insure them for when they cause life-threatening injuries.

If you saw the cases that come before the courts in which people have been killed by exhausted HGV drivers, you would not be so joyously carefree about extending the rules on drivers’ hours.

They exist for a reason.

It isn't rocket science. It doesn't even need 'no fault compensation'. Just investigate properly, be honest, compensate fairly without litigation and don't pin the blame on individual staff. https://t.co/Fn6CIOF42a

Bereaved people have to battle a system of denial & delay, which adds another layer of trauma. We must see more accountability in this case, alongside broader strengthening of the duty of candor on care professionals to enable justice and change.

Another great @SpeedMooting Advocacy Club this evening. It was a chance to judge other mooters and practise my own remote advocacy on a niche drink-driving problem. Kudos to @JohnPDove for organising these monthly sessions so well!

Today I cried in court. I was watching 3 lovely, articulate, passionate young women (the older 2 just out of their teens) come to terms with the fact that their Dad was going to die. Doctors believed that continuing life-sustaining treatment was not in his best interests.

COSTS ALERT ! Court of Appeal hears BXB V Watch Tower tomorrow. Was it right to award indemnity costs where D refused to engage in ADR ?
