The Gatwick drone incident that has brought one of the UK\u2019s biggest airports to a complete standstill this week raises big legal questions.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve written before about the use of smart technology and how it can be dangerous. Although the Gatwick drones appear to be high-tech and are being used as part of what appears to be a deliberate ploy, everyday drones can be dangerous. It\u2019s those drones that can be easily bought online or on the high street that raise the legal questions as well.<\/p>\n

If something happens, where\u2019s the liability? Where\u2019s the insurance? What do we need to do to ensure people are protected?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Gatwick drone highlights the need for regulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Gatwick drone incident highlights the need for better regulation. I don\u2019t want to sound like a killjoy here, but as lawyers, we consider the legal and legislative issues.<\/p>\n

Car insurance is compulsory to make sure victims in a non-fault accident are protected with indemnity. Employers are compelled to have insurance to protect their employees for the same reason. It all makes sense.<\/p>\n

However, drones can be bought with ease, and yet they can be dangerous. The Gatwick drone incident has highlighted \u2013 to an extent \u2013 what they can do. Hundreds of thousands of passengers have had their flights cancelled right before Christmas. The impact has been massive and will carry on for quite some time.<\/p>\n

The Gatwick drone incident could be a catalyst for change<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s worth remembering that the Gatwick drone could have been \u2013 or still could be \u2013 worse. The chilling reality is that drones could be used for targeted attacks.<\/p>\n

But that aside, what happens when an innocent person is injured by an everyday drone? What happens if an owner hasn\u2019t got a great deal of flight time under their belt and crashes into a pedestrian? What if their drone hits a vehicle and causes a major collision?<\/p>\n

These are all realistic scenarios. With the use of drones set to continue grow in popularity, something needs to be done.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re injured by a company drone being used for industry, we could possibly launch a No Win, No Fee legal case<\/strong><\/a> for you. They ought to have insurance or at least finances to cover themselves. However, if you\u2019re injured by Mr Smith\u2019s drone who rents a flat down the road and doesn\u2019t have any money, how can an injured victim be protected?<\/p>\n

The Gatwick drone incident has highlighted the kinds of questions some have been asking for a while. This incident may well end up being the catalyst for change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
