Injuries from Defective Lawn Mowers
When manufactured and used correctly, a personal walk-behind or riding lawn mower can help you keep your yard looking neat and well-maintained all year long. And whether you mow your own yard or you work for a landscaping company on a daily basis, if a lawn mower manufacturing company produces products that are faulty, they are putting innocent consumers in harm’s way.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans are treated for lawn mower-related injuries, and you should not have to shoulder the burden of medical bills alone if you have been injured because of a faulty product. If you have suffered an injury because of a defective lawn mower, contact the Philadelphia product liability lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., today at 215-238-1130.
Lawn Mower Safety
When lawn mowers are not properly manufactured or designed, they can inflict devastating injuries on unsuspecting users. In some cases, the blade may not stop spinning after you disengage it, putting you at risk of suffering severed fingers, toes, or other limbs.
Though you cannot always account for a manufacturer’s errors, you can adhere to the following safety tips:
- Teaching children about lawn mower safety before using the machine. You should also supervise any children using a lawn mower.
- Keep hands and feet away from the blades at all times when the lawn mower is running.
- Do not remove the protective shoot. This prevents objects and debris from flying out and hitting you or other innocent bystanders.
