Our law firm is representing dozens of people who were seriously injured in Yamaha Rhino rollover accidents. In all of our cases, the rollover accident happened during a turn at low speeds on level ground.
Yamaha’s response to these people is to blame the accidents on them.
A Yamaha Rhino lawsuit in Texas highlights this. The following is from Bloomberg:
“Accidents happen when people use vehicles in ways they’re not supposed to use them,” Yamaha attorney Jeffrey Hawkins said during opening statements. “The evidence will show common sense and personal responsibility would have prevented the accident.”
Hawkins, with the firm Prichard, Hawkins, McFarland & Young LLP in San Antonio, said Yamaha tested the Rhino “vigorously” before production began in 2003. The vehicle is equipped with seatbelts that cinch, hip guards, floor guards and hand holds. The vehicle’s three-point safety belt is made specifically to keep drivers and passengers from bouncing around the safety cage, Hawkins said. “Accidents and injuries occur because of the operator’s unsafe conduct,” Hawkins said.
What happened to corporate responsibility, Yamaha? People injured and the families of those killed in Rhino rollover accidents deserve compensation.
“The Rhino is incredibly dangerous, even at low speeds and on flat terrain, because of inherent flaws in its design, including having a narrow track width, high platform, high center of gravity, wheels too small to maintain stability, and top-heavy design,” stated Attorney Eric Hageman, managing lawyer for our Yamaha Rhino lawsuits. “It is time for Yamaha to do the right thing and compensate people for their losses. We don’t expect that to happen, though, and are vigorously pursuing compensation for our clients through the court system.”
