In this episode, Associate Kieran Mercer and Max Archer, a barrister at 12 King’s Bench Walk, discussed the growing number of drones in the sky, the evolving liability regime and the implications for personal injury litigation.
Max examined the potential parties to a personal injury claim following a drone accident and highlighted the issues a claimant may need to overcome when seeking redress. Max looked at recent legislation and considered whether the removal of the distinction between non-commercial and commercial drone operations will affect the numbers of drones seen above us and the corresponding risk of injury.
