Rhino ATV Lawsuit to Proceed
A Yamaha Rhino lawsuit in death alleging the wrongful death of a 13 year old boy in a Yamaha Rhino accident is proceeding to trial, according to a report in the Southeast Texas Record. This lawsuit alleges design defects and insufficient safety features caused the boy's death after a rollover accident.
According to a report by the Southeast Texas Record, Yamaha has been trying to force the parents to arbitrate the case based on an agreement signed with the dealer when the Rhino was first purchased. However, a motion to compel arbitration was not filed until June 1, and the parents argued that Yamaha had waived their right by not asserting the provision earlier in the litigation.
