Farm machinery is large, powerful, and typically has dangerous moving parts. Accidents involving this machinery is common and often serious, resulting in devastating injuries. Survivors often face a long road to recovery, and unfortunately some agricultural workers never recover, instead suffering permanent disabilities or even death.
Some of the most common injuries seen in machinery accidents include:
- Fractures
- Crushing injuries
- Bruises
- Burns
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Head, neck, and spinal cord injuries
- Lacerations
- Paralysis
- Amputation
- Death
Machinery Accident Liability
There may be a number of parties that could be liable for your accident and injuries. Some of these possibilities include:
- The machinery designer, manufacturer, and/or anyone else involved in the chain of distribution of a defective product
- The farmer who was negligent in training
- An independent contractor
- Owner of the machinery involved in the accident
Determining who may be responsible for your accident can be complex. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help determine who is responsible and what compensation you may be entitled to.
