wheelchair adapted carMany people who are confined to wheelchairs are living with debilitating medical conditions and rely on various wheelchair transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation companies (NEMT) to bring them to and from appointments with doctors, physical therapists, and other outpatient specialists. Other individuals, such as those on dialysis, require weekly treatments. Local wheelchair transport companies, such as Highland Patient Transport, have vans designed specifically with ramps, wheelchair lifts, restraint systems, and various other modifications.

During transport, wheelchair users are extremely vulnerable to suffering devastating injuries and even wrongful death due to negligence by the same medical transportation services entrusted to drive them to their destinations safely. When transporting passengers, properly locking wheelchairs inside of the ambulette is crucial.

Causes Of Non-Secured Wheelchair Transport Accidents

All wheelchair transport services have a legal obligation to provide passengers with safe and dependable rides. The health and welfare of the passengers should always be their primary concern. The ambulette attendants must be properly trained and capable of locking wheelchairs into the restraint systems. Otherwise, wheelchairs can easily tip over, flip over, violently smash into other passengers, or slam into the frame of the vehicle. When non-emergency medical transport services or their attendants act carelessly or inattentively, they place passengers at risk of suffering devastating injuries or worse. Some wheelchair transport issues that frequently lead to preventable no lock injuries include:

  1. The service provider fails to properly vet staff members;
  2. Inadequate training in wheelchair handling and locking procedures;
  3. Staff being unfamiliar with certain restraint system models;
  4. Employee shortages;
  5. The work days are too long;
  6. Inconsiderate or complacent attendants;
  7. Neglecting to inspect wheelchair restraint devices and other locking equipment;
  8. Failing to properly restrain passengers;
  9. Defective wheelchair locks or restraints; and
  10. Securing the wrong part of the wheelchair.
