Lawn Tractor / Riding Mower Accidents, Rollovers, ROPS Injury LawyerRepresents individuals and attorneys in Florida and throughout the U.S.
Riding lawnmower operators (landscapers and homeowners) across America are dying needlessly while providing lawn care and property maintenance services at condominium developments, golf courses, parks, farms and behind and private homes.
Roll-over Protective Structures consist of either a cab or frame / bars that provide a safe zone for the tractor / mower operator in a rollover. ROPS must meet standards set forth by the OSHA for agricultural tractors (CFR 1928.51(a)) or industrial tractors (CFR 1926.1002(j)(2)). While ROPS improve safety, these tractors must also be equipped with seatbelts. Without seatbelts, operators are not confined to the protective zone.
When these tractors roll over into water – even as shallow as two and a half feet – the driver is often crushed by the weight of the tractor or is pinned down and unable to get out from under and thus drowns. The NOISH study also revealed that over 2.4 million tractors/mowers in the U.S. are not retrofitted. Consider that the one time effort of installing ROPS and restraints on a mower or tractor will protect all drivers of the tractor for all the years the tractor is used.
