Lawnmowers kill more people than bears, sharks, or alligators. Millions of people still choose to mow their own yards despite the many landscaping companies currently operating. Unfortunately, though, mowing your yard can be potentially dangerous. Lawnmowers spin sharp blades at high speeds, putting any user at risk of lawnmower injuries if he or she uses the machine improperly.

While many injuries happen because of inexperienced users, lawn mower accidents can also occur due to flawed equipment or because of mistakes during the maintenance process. If you or a loved one has been injured by a faulty lawn mower, you need legal advice from a qualified attorney.

Staying Safe While Using a Lawn Mower

Millions of lawnmowers are sold in the United States every day. If these machines are negligently designed, built, or maintained, your safety is in jeopardy. Over 200,000 people were injured in 2007 alone due to lawn mower accidents. To avoid these landscaping injuries, make sure you act safely around lawnmowers. Some tips for staying safe while using a lawn mower include:

  • Never leave a lawn mower running unattended
  • Avoid backing up with riding lawnmowers
  • Make sure you are always wearing closed-toe shoes, as well as goggles and earplugs
  • Only run the mower over grass
  • Do not allow children under the age of 12 to use a lawn mower

Frustratingly, no matter how safe you may be, you or a loved one can still suffer an injury from a faulty or defective lawn mower.
