Lawn mower rollover accidents are daily occurrences in the United States. However, few people pay attention to the serious dangers these vehicles pose to those operating them. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, approximately 68,000 people are seriously injured in lawn mower accidents each year (more than 9,000 of the people hurt in these accidents are younger than 18 years). This astounding figure is even more remarkable when one considers the alleged safety features on most modern power and riding mowers.

Lawn Mower Accidents

Lawn mower manufacturers, like automotive manufacturers, have an obligation to produce reasonably safe lawn mowers for foreseeable uses. If they fail to fulfill this responsibility, they can be held responsible for the injuries their defective products cause. Lawn mower rollover accidents can be attributed to too many causes to list. Regardless of how lawn mower accidents occur, the simple fact is that they do occur. Nearly all serious injuries and deaths can be prevented if manufacturers installed rollover protection systems (ROPS) on these machines as standard equipment before they sell them to the public. Many have chosen not to provide for driver protection when their machines rollover and the public continues to pay the price for their carelessness. If this happens to you or a loved one, contact John Gehlhausen.
