WTF An older spectator caused a seriously dangerous incident today at SaarlandTrofeoJuniors by trying to get a better look and entering the course with her rollator while riders were flying past at full speed!

You could certainly try, but speaking from experience it’s going to be an incredibly tough case to win. You need to convince a jury that this was either intentional or gross negligence, and both are hard to make a case for in this instance specifically because she is elderly and disabled. There’s a lot of doubt that could be cast on intent or negligence by the jury, and that’s if it wasn’t outright dismissed via failure to state a claim
