New Orleans ATV Accident Attorney: Yamaha Rhinos
Yamaha Rhinos are more dangerous than many people realize. With powerful engines, these all-terrain vehicles can often accelerate to dangerous speeds. And their design features open sides that don't restrain users in the vehicle if it tips over. Arms and legs may suffer terrible crush injuries, even at low speeds. Early models were clearly defective with no doors to hold legs in during rollovers. Despite these dangerous design features, many were sold without proper warnings. They are used by children and inexperienced or unsuspecting adults. Many of these RTVs and ATVs have a very high center of gravity and are capable of high speeds and are inherently unstable.
At the New Orleans area law office of Glenn C. McGovern, we will represent the victims of personal injuries related to Yamaha Rhino rollovers and defective RTVs and ATVs. We have seen the serious damage that Yamaha Rhinos can do. The most frequent Yamaha Rhino rollover injuries involve crushed arms and legs that were mangled through the open sides when the ATV tipped over. These limbs often have to be amputated.
Taking Legal Action
Although nothing can ever truly compensate a person for the harm they have experienced, a products liability lawsuit holds the corporation accountable for selling a dangerous product. And it may help prevent future harm from Yamaha Rhino rollovers. Often manufacturers, fearing a loss of sales, will fail to warn of defects or limitations of the product. Manufacturers have a duty to warn of such defects.
Our law firm has achieved a record of success in helping the victims of personal injury due to product defects. Our accomplishments include multimillion dollar jury verdicts and settlements in personal injury claims, which are the basis for our inclusion in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. We are also AV rated* under Martindale Hubbell's peer review system.
