While doing some research on a talk I gave on frivolous lawsuits I ran
across a case of two guys with a hedge to trim who decided that the problem
was to hard to solve with manual trimmers.
The two gentlemen decided that they needed to find some other approach to
the problem. Such things take a lot of thought and so they sat down with a
box of some local brewers finest and sure enough at the end of the box a
solution was found. They would fire up a 25 year old lawnmower lift it up
and walk down the hedge simple as mowing your lawn they reasoned. 6 feet
into the walk one of the gentlemen tripped and one of them lost a couple
fingers. They were awarded $30K because the old lawnmower was not labeled
against operating in that manner.
