Legally Protecting Your Canadian Made Mobility Scooter

Know Your 4 Wheel and 3 Wheel Mobility Scooter Laws and Personal Rights

Disability watch-dogs groups fight issues regarding fair health care and accessibility every day. As a canadian made mobility scooter user, you'll benefit by staying on top of these laws and participating in requests to make needed changes. In fact, without your input and your support, these groups wouldn't have the large influence in society that they have behind them today. But thanks to their hard work, we have needed accessibility ramps and the laws that enforce their presence for canadian made mobility scooters users like you and thousands of others.

One of these laws is the Disabilities Act (1990). This law requires that public buildings, transportation system, and other services provide the things that handicapped persons need and have a personal right to expect, such as manufactured accessibility ramps. In addition to acts and laws, the warranty of your electric disability scooter legally binds its manufacturer to honor its repair or servicing provisions. It also promises that your light, folding medical scooter will operate the way that it was advertised. In essence, that warranty is a mini-contract - a binding agreement that's enforceable by law between you, the consumer and the scooter's manufacturer.

When accessibility ramps aren't where they need to be or when battery-operated travel scooters don't perform the way that they were advertised they were, lawyers are called in to rectify a violation of the Disabilities Act. But because hiring lawyers to fight a case can be rather expensive for an individual person, local disability organizations will discuss legal alternatives with you. In many cases, these organizations have a large list of legal resources readily available for either their own use, or for the use of their mobility scooter clients. And in some of these cases, a single lawyer will represent an entire group of mobility scooter-using persons in a class action suit.
