Buda woman wins record lawsuit in accident that left her paralyzed

Article_sl said:
A jury in Austin found on March 31 that Textron was liable for the "defectively designed and unreasonably dangerous" kick-off brake system in its E-Z-Go Workhorse utility vehicles, said Sean Breen, lead attorney for Nester, and a partner at Austin-based Howry Breen & Herman LLP. Additionally, Textron knew about the defect before starting production of the Workhorse and could have prevented it, Breen said.

On Dec. 5, 2011, Nester was working on her family ranch in Buda, south of Austin, and driving an E-Z-Go Workhorse. She got out to open a gate and, when her back was turned, a 50-pound bag of cattle feed fell on the vehicle's accelerator pedal. By the time Nester had opened the gate and turned around, the vehicle was "right on top of her," Breen said, and ran her over, causing significant injury.

That's also what caused the Dallas Cowboy cart to run over those people, due to a cone falling on it.

So yeah, expect that golf carts in general in the future will no longer have auto-kick off breaks upon pressing the accelerator.

Read that as Sean Bean and pictured him being run over by a golf cart.
