Legal Question in Product Liability in South Carolina

Re: Eye Injury

Well you might have a case, but I don't have enough information to tell for sure. What you didn't explain was exactly what caused the rock to be propelled from the mower. That would be key. There are basically three different types of Product Liability case. One is a Design Defect, two is a Manufactured Flaw, and three would be a Failure to Warn. A couple things that would make such a law suit would be these. They are expensive as they usually require experts to testify and provide information. You would need to be able to prove one of the three types of Product Liability scenerios. I'm afraid that the age of your lawn mower might also be a problem. Bottom line is, if you can prove exactly how the the lawn mower threw the rock and then prove it was a result of it being designed improperly or that it was not manufactured correctly, then you might be able to suceed. But these are difficult things to prove.
