Southeast Texas Record, "Galveston suit blames Rhino ATV for boy's injuries from rollover"

A Santa Fe couple is seeking $3 million in damages from Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd. after their son was injured in a Rhino ATV rollover more than a year ago. Warren and Terry Aldous filed a lawsuit on behalf of Brandon Aldous against Yamaha and numerous other businesses. Court papers say Brandon Aldous was riding a doorless Yamaha Rhino ATV near his parents' residence on June 2, 2007, when the vehicle rolled over as the boy made a turn. Brandon was pinned underneath the ATV, but his mother and a neighbor were able to pull him out. The boy was then taken to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston where physicians determined he suffered severe injuries to his left leg.

"Brandon has suffered significant trauma to his leg," the suit says. "The plaintiff remains with serious permanent injuries and impairments." The plaintiffs claim Brandon was wearing a belt at the time of the accident. The suit lists many counts of wrongdoing against the defendants including but not limited to defective design, failure to warn, defective marketing, negligence, and fraud. In addition, the suit chronicles a litany of alleged problems with the Rhino between 2004 and 2007.
