Representing the Victims of Farm Accidents
Agriculture is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States. In fact, hundreds of people are seriously injured or killed in farm accidents each year. At the law offices of Friedman, Domiano & Smith, we understand how these accidents impact the lives of our clients. We strive to help our clients achieve the best possible results through legal action.
With a record of successful jury verdicts and settlements, our trial lawyers are well equipped for this task. We employ our years of experience to represent injured workers against machinery manufacturers, pesticide and chemical companies, as well as large agricultural businesses. We also represent people who have been injured or killed in accidents at grain elevators. We hold defendants accountable for the harm they cause — giving injured workers and their families the resources necessary to move forward with their lives after a farm accident.
Finding the Cause of Farm Accidents
Farm accidents occur under a variety of circumstances. When our attorneys represent someone who has been injured in a farm accident, we investigate all the facts and laws that may impact the outcome. Often this involves investigating the scene, taking pictures and interviewing witnesses. We also consult as necessary with accident reconstructionists, engineers and agriculture experts to help build strong and persuasive cases.
Our work may reveal negligence that caused injury to a farm worker. For example, protective safety guarding may have been removed. Often this is done to increase productivity. We have also found that some farm accidents involving tractors and other large equipment are caused by dangerous and defective product designs. The high center of gravity on a large tractors cause them to tip over easily. And the open design of some tractors provides no protection for workers, leading to serious injury or death.
