Re: riding lawn mower started fire

yes, it appears that you may have a very viable claim. i am fairly certain that you will get several "interested" attorneys from your post on this site, many touting their abilities, and several of them probably being very good. your (your brother's) case sounds like it might just be a decent products case. would love to hear from you. i handle cases in several states, working in conjunction with very experienced and competent local counsel
