Especially for Lawyers – Why So Many Wheelchair Tipovers, Part 14

There are many, many reasons why wheelchairs are either rarely secured on certain modes and services or never secured on them. The only mode that reliably secures wheelchairs is a schoolbus – both on a large bus or a smaller van- or minibus-conversion. Whenever they are not secured, there is never a valid reason for this, and this failure is almost always a violation of the ADA, and the lawsuit dealing with this individual’s death or injury – or even the inability to use a restroom – is automatically a violation of that individual’s civil rights. In 1955, when Rosa Parks refused to sit at the rear of the bus, if she did, at least her seat would have been bolted to the floor.
