The small business owner, the foundation of our nation, is vital to all that we do as a society. They are the hardworking people that this nation was founded on and depends on. An area that is most frequently overlooked, but is very critical is the area of farming. Without it, where would we be? It is sad, that something so profoundly necessary has so many devastating injuries. The farm can be a dangerous place and when the farmer is injured his entire livelihood is at stake and the livelihood of his whole family. Accidents that occur on the farm are traumatic and need to be stopped.

If you or a loved one have been injured or died in a farm related accident or injury it is important that you ask yourself one question: could this have been prevented through simple safety precautions? “Yes” is a hard answer to take; but, if it is your answer to the question, it is time to call a farm accident lawyer. Here’s why:

Safety violations should not occur. OSHA regulates everything from properly functioning equipment guards to ventilation. Negligence on safety is not tolerated.

Building codes and safety rules are in place, but if not followed injury can occur ranging from electrocution from improper electrical wiring, asphyxiation from unguarded areas such as grain bins and injury due to poor building design.

Chemicals related to the agriculture industry are required to have adequate warning labels for use and storage. When not in place or improperly followed serious nerve damage, cancer, and death, can occur.
