This is a Southeastern Connecticut case of a riding lawnmower that failed to have an automatic stop switch.  Our client was mowing the lawn when she came to a slight hill in the yard.  The lawnmower struck the hill and flipped over on top of our client.  For a very slight cost, the manufacturer should have included an automatic stop switch when the mower could not continue due to some barrier.  This would have prevented this accident.  Our client suffered a severely mangled arm and significant permanent scarring due to the mover blades running over her arm.

This case was settled prior to trial.

This case was known as Ames v. Sears, Roebuck & Co.
