The Leading Product Liability Lawyers in Philadelphia

Over $2 Billion Awarded to Our Clients

Riding lawn mowers, especially the Zero-Turn-Radius Rotary Mower, are prone to tipping or rolling over while making sharp turns, maneuvering around tight corners, on embankments, on steep hills or on uneven surfaces. When these heavy mowers rollover, not only can they crush the rider, the rotating blades can come in contact with a body part causing severe lacerations, traumatic amputations, hemorrhage and even death.

Sometimes lawn mower accidents occur through no fault of your own, caused by defective or dangerous product design. If you were one of the thousands of people injured by your lawn mower this year, the Philadelphia product liability attorneys at The Beasley Firm want to help you get the compensation you deserve.

The Severity & Frequency of Lawn Mower Injuries

Each year there are about 80,000 hospital emergency room visits for injuries caused by lawn mower accidents, and about 10,000 of the lawn mower accident victims were children. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) estimates that 140,700 children were treated in hospital emergency rooms (ER) for lawn mower-related injuries between 1990 and 2004.

Lawn mower accidents can cause:

Lawn mower manufacturers are required to install safety features and blade protection devices to prevent users from severe lacerations or limb amputations. However, many of these safety features are inadequate or fail to work. As a result, most lawn mower accidents are foreseeable and preventable.

Why You May Be Entitled to a Lawn Mower Accident Claim

Many manufacturers of the lawn mowers sell them without the standard safety equipment required by law. To keep costs low, many manufacturers fail to supply their riding lawn mowers with the safety devices that could greatly reduce catastrophic injuries or death. Such safety measures are no-mow-in-reverse (NMIR) switches, rollover protection systems (ROPS), and blade safety measures.

Riding mowers without a NMIR switch are the cause of many of the devastating injuries or death to children. Many times, either grass catchers or just the height of the mower obstructs the view of the driver when the lawn mower is in reverse, causing the mower to back over a small child that could not be seen while the mower blades are still spinning.
