Lawn Mower Accident Injury Attorney

Most of us have used a lawn mower at one point in time. You may dread spending a few hours in the baking sun, or standing behind the red push mower on your Saturday afternoon. Luckily, the groundskeepers who maintain our green spaces have more powerful tools at their disposal, including huge mowers and utility vehicles. The immense power generated by the machines, though, increase the likelihood of injury. If you or someone you care about has been injured by a mower or other lawn equipment, call Mr. Demerath today.

No Mow In Reverse Devices - Investigating Cases Nationwide

As a matter of course, it is not safe to operate a lawn mower when others are present. However, children have a way of sneaking up on us when we're not aware. One of the most dangerous aspects residential mowing is reversing while the blades of a machine are engaged. Its very easy to not see a child in this scenario, and injuries can occur. Recently, many safety standards have been published that address this particular danger, and raise legal issues with mowers that are not equipped with a no mow in reverse device. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a reversing mower, contact our offices for a consultation.

Riding & Zero Turn Radius Lawn & Grass Mowers

Riding and zero-turn radius ("ZTR") mowers are essential to the maintenance of golf courses and other green spaces. These machines can be maneuvered around obstacles with precision, and offer a wide cutting path. The efficiency and speed with which grass may be cut allows a small group of groundskeepers to maintain a huge golf course that would otherwise require a horde of workers using traditional push mowers to maintain. These mowers are very powerful, and accordingly, the risk of injury while using or being around these mowers is high.

The most common type of severe injury involving these machines occurs when the mower rolls over while the operator is mowing. Using these mowers on sloping tracts, such as those invariably found on golf courses, increase the risk of rollover accidents astronomically. The use of roll over protection ("ROPS") on these mowers can tremendously lessen the likelihood of catastrophic injuries suffered in the event of a rollover accident. In addition, adequate warnings, training, and supervision can lessen the likelihood of a rollover accident even occurring. Sadly, these precautionary devices and procedures are often neglected due to cost-cutting, greed, apathy, and incompetence. Call Mr. Demerath today if you have been injured in a riding and zero-turn radius ("ZTR") mower accident.
