Leveling the Field between Injured Iowans and Insurance Companies.

Protecting your family from Springtime Dangers

What is your favorite thing about spring? Spring is an enjoyable time of year, but it can also be dangerous. There many activities that you might not think are dangerous, but can result in serious injury if safety is not kept in mind such as mowing your lawn. You cannot be too careful when operating your lawn mower, you should never let someone under the age of 16 operate it. Before you decide to mow your lawn you need to advise all children in your yard to stay away from the mower while it is running. You should also look over your lawn to make sure there are not any sticks, toys, rocks, or other debris that might cause damage to your lawn mower or be a hazardous flying object. Always remember to wear eye protection to keep tiny particles from getting into your eyes. You should also think about using a mower that will stop moving once the handle is released; otherwise, it may run something over or even hit someone.
