I don’t think you’re over an protective parent, you have common sense. I’m a parent and have a Deere Riding mower. I can only shake my head and wonder when people like this and the lawyers, courts and juries will come to their senses also.
Now Deere will have to put yet ANOTHER warning sign on their machinery that says, “will cut off major body parts if run over people”. OMG…personal responsiblity is out the window one more time
I would like to see John Deere file suit against the father to recover damages it had to pay and expenses incurred in this litigation. The theory of liability is gross negligence in failing to operate the equipment properly resulting in costs having to be incurred by the mfg.
No doubt a large portion of the manufacturer’s defense will be dad’s portion of negligence (assuming Oregon has comparative negligence law). Trouble is, a jury won’t find ANY on the child and even 10% of a “home run” verdict is huge. They’ll settle after putting dad through a rough depo, I’m sure. Seven figures? maybe.
you GUYS MOST ALL WORK FOR sTATE fARM NO HEARTS. dO YOU NOT THINK THE FATHER HAS PUT HIMSELF THEW HELL. I DO NOT UNDRESTAND PEOPLE SO HATEFUL WHEN YOU LIKE IN THE MIRROR ALL YOU THINK ABOUT IS YOURSELF.

Wouldn’t that be great if we were all jurors for a possible trial?
Ouch, I just bit my tongue while eating my lunch. I think I’m gonna sue Taco Bell.
