Rhino Accidents
and Rhino Rollovers |
 |
|
The national law firm of Lieff
Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP represents
persons across America who suffered serious
injuries in Yamaha Rhino Recreational Utility
Vehicle (RUV) accidents, including rollovers.
The injuries typically are broken or crushed
legs, ankles or feet. In some cases, the injuries
were so severe as to require amputation. |
Yamaha Rhino Accidents: 2008
Update |
The four-wheel, side by side
Rhino manufactured by Yamaha Motor Corporation
has become one of the most popular Utility
Terrain Vehicles (UTVs) sold on the market in the U.S. and Canada. The
Rhino seats the driver and passenger next to
each other. Some have claimed that the Rhino
is less dangerous than All Terrain Vehicles
(ATVs) or quads. |
The perception that the Rhino
provides a safe means of enjoying off road
recreation does not match the reality. In accidents
nationwide, Rhino riders have been killed or
seriously injured. For example, on February
24, 2008, two separate fatal accidents occurred
within hours of each other at Imperial Sand
Dunes recreation area in Southern California.
In both cases, passengers were killed after
being ejected from their Rhino, even one
passenger who was belted. |
Many of those killed have been
children. While every accident involving a
Rhino can pose a risk of serious injury, when
a child is riding, the injuries have often
been more severe. Children have been thrown
from the Rhino and died after it landed
on top of them. |
Yamaha Rhino Lawsuit |
| In injury lawsuits
filed against Yamaha,
our clients charge that the Yamaha Rhino side-by-side contains multiple design flaws rendering it dangerously unstable and unduly prone to tipping and rolling over even when driven on flat ground at low speeds. These defects include a top-heavy design resulting in a high center of gravity, and a dangerously narrow track width. Together, these design flaws make the Rhino unduly prone to tip and roll over.
