Another Victory for Bob Bennett and the Bennett Law Firm – $3.2 Million settlement with Yamaha

Bob Bennett of the Bennett Law Firm today announced the settlement of a highly publicized lawsuit that exposed the dangerous defect in the steering system of the 1994 Yamaha Timberwolf and similar four-wheel all-terrain vehicles designed by the Japanese manufacture.

Jacob Rohrer, a minor at the time, was paralyzed from the waist down after the steering system failed on the defective ATV and the front tires of the vehicle turned outward causing the vehicle to flip, catapulting Rohrer from the defective ATV. The incident resulted in severe spinal injuries, as a result of which, Rohrer suffered permanent paralysis from the waist down.

This settlement will help compensate Rohrer for his life-long injuries resulting for the defective ATV, but it also marks one more victory for consumers in holding manufacturers accountable for what they sell to the American public and to ensure that children are protected.

Rohrer’s attorney, Bob Bennett, has earned a reputation nationally for taking on big corporations who sale unsafe products to consumers. And with jury verdicts in ATV cases as high as $30 million, Mr. Bennett has become one of the ATV industry’s most feared adversaries.  Mr. Bennett’s firm, the Bennett Law Firm is based in Houston Texas, but Mr. Bennett has worked with other attorney across the county trying defective ATV injury case. In the current suit, Mr. Bennett worked with Kentucky lawyers, Robert Sanders, of Sanders, Associates, and Jeff Roberts, of Jones and Roberts.
