Who Is Liable When Motorized Shopping Carts Cause Injuries

People in Nevada who are injured by motorized shopping carts in grocery and retail stores might be able to recover damages from the stores under a legal principle called premises liability. Store owners owe a duty to keep their premises relatively safe and hazard free for their customers. If they know or should have known of a dangerous condition, it is their responsibility to fix it or to remove it. In the case of scooters, showing that the store owners had knowledge of previous scooter accidents in their chains might be enough to prove their negligence. For example, evidence of prior motorized shopping cart accidents that happened at the same store may be enough to demonstrate the store owner’s knowledge of the dangers and the negligence of failing to correct the hazards.

Ford Recall Gives a Whole New Meaning to Loose Steering

In March 2018, Ford issued a recall of 1.4 million Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans stretching from 2014 to 2018 models because the steering wheel in these vehicles can suddenly detach from the steering column and drivers can lose control. The steering system is critical for a driver’s ability to control his or her vehicle. The maintenance of a steady course and the negotiation of turns rely upon the correct operation of the steering system. The system includes the power steering pump, rack and pinion, hydraulic lines, and many other essential components. Design, manufacturing, or installation mistakes can cause these components to fail.
