Tennessee Personal Injury Attorney Comments on John Deere Child Amputation Case

An Oregon jury has found that John Deere had no responsibility for the amputation injury of a small girl's leg when her father backed over her while on a John Deere riding mower.

The father had 5 children inside the house as he was mowing and didn't realize his small daughter had come outside. Between 250-300 children each year are maimed or killed by riding mowers.

This lawsuit argued that the riding mower was defectively designed because the blades should stop when the mower is placed in reverse - a design change that would have saved this little girl's legs and countless other injuries to children.  

The jury found that the mower was not defectively designed, although it was in violation of international and industry safety standards.  For more information, click here.
