Most riding lawn mower injuries and deaths could have been prevented had the mowers been outfitted with the proper safety equipment. At the Law Offices of John Gehlhausen, P.C., we pride ourselves on our commitment to keeping our clients fully informed of their legal options and providing honest answers to their questions.
Though riding lawn mowers are an advantage to landscapers and homeowners, these modern machines also present a very real risk of injury. Every year, thousands of individuals are injured or killed in riding lawn mower-related accidents, and many victims are children. These accidents are totally foreseeable by the manufacturers of these machines, who also are fully aware that even though accidents will happen, serious injuries and deaths can be prevented by cost-effective safety devices. Yet they often choose not to equip these machines with standard equipment guards to prevent serious injuries from occurring. At the Law Offices of John Gehlhausen, P.C., we are committed to promoting riding lawn mower safety while preserving the rights of accident victims. Attorney John Gehlhausen provides aggressive, compassionate representation to help individuals injured and survivors of persons killed by riding lawn mower accidents obtain the compensation they deserve.
To lower costs, many manufacturers fail to equip their riding lawn mowers with the safety devices that could substantially reduce the occurrences of injuries and death. Some manufacturers refrain from adding safety features because they see that as an admission of ignoring their responsibilities years earlier. Rollover accidents, in particular, will happen as long as the law of gravity exists. But injuries associated with these types of accidents can be avoided with the addition of inexpensive safety devices. Such safety measures as rollover protection systems, and no-mow-in-reverse switches have been shown to be greatly effective in preventing the most serious types of riding lawn mower injuries and deaths.
