Hay rake hits vehicle | Fault?
I am in Michigan. I had my Explorer hooked to a hay rake to transport it from point A to point B on a public road.
The rake was attached with the appropriate draw pin and was secured with a lych pin to keep the draw pin from coming out.
Some how the draw pin came loose and the rake came unhitched and damaged the back of the Explorer. Should I be considered 51 % at fault in this.
I did every thing you would normally do in hauling a piece of farm equipment.
Answer:
Hello,
Well, either you are 100% at fault (you failed to properly attached the pin) or the Pin failed (in which case, you may have a products liability action).
I hope this helps.
Good Luck,
