Introduction

The post-pandemic rise in cycling, together with the introduction of electric scooters and bikes to our towns and cities has given added impetus to the on-going argument about the extent to which a failure to wear a helmet can result in a finding of contributory negligence.

This bite-sized webinar will review the current law (and relevant cases), considers comparative jurisdictions and will give you the tools to enable you to argue contributory fault and causation effectively and knowledgeably.

This webinar will also highlight the new evidential development in testing technology which has resulted in the ability for experts to provide opinions on the forces involved in head injuries where a helmet is involved and assist the neurologists and other experts to take a more informed view on the likelihood and severity of brain injury.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

  • The current state of the law on cycle-helmets and contributory fault
  • The use of medical expert evidence in cycle-helmet cases - how it can help the court, and when it will not
  • Cycle helmet expert engineering evidence - what it can help to prove, and what it can’t
  • The likely trajectory of the law in light of the explosion of e-bikes, e-scooters and public access share schemes

This pre-recorded webinar will be streamed at 12:30pm on Tuesday 10th January 2023 and will remain available to view by delegates who have registered by then for 90 days.
