Third Party Claims for Lawn Care Clients

Attention Workers’ Compensation Attorneys -

Riding lawnmower operators across America are dying needlessly at condominium developments, golf courses, parks and behind private homes.

Manufacturers of riding tractors (“mowers”) have known for more than 30 years that without ROPS (Rollover Protection Structures) and seatbelts (restraints), it is virtually impossible to save the life of the operator if a lawn tractor flips over into any body of water, even water as shallow as two and a half feet deep. The installation and use of ROPS and seatbelt are 99.9% effective in preventing deaths due to tractor overturns.

These third party claims are strong liability cases, even punitive damages cases, against manufacturers – for failing to make ROPS and restraints standard equipment.

My law firm has the experience and resources to handle third party rollover death by drowning cases. We specialize in these cases.
