Farm Machinery & Farming Equipment Injuries & Deaths

Farm machinery and farming equipment are involved in serious injuries and deaths every year. The consequences devastate families, threaten farming operations, leave bank lenders with problem loans and can leave whole neighborhoods gasping.

Handling complex personal injury and death cases in farm settings requires skilled lawyers. Agriculture, engineering, ag finance, and family dynamics must be considered and dealt with collectively.

Contrary to the common perception of open spaces and peaceful surroundings, farming ranks among the most hazardous industries in the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, every year thousands of farm workers are injured and hundreds more die in farming accidents.

Most farm accidents and fatalities involve machinery, especially tractors. Overall, tractors account for about 32% of the deaths and 6% of non-fatal injuries in agriculture. The leading causes of tractor-related fatalities are overturns (54%), runovers (24%) and highway incidents (13%).
