Like factory workers and construction workers, farm workers face many on-the-job hazards, such as tractor rollovers and combine accidents. Farm workers are constantly surrounded by potentially dangerous or defective equipment at work. Whether due to human error or manufacturing defects, farm equipment such as tractors and combines can cause serious, debilitating injuries or even wrongful death.

Tractor rollover accidents are the single deadliest accident that can occur on the farm. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimates that more than 250 tractor rollover fatalities occur every year on farms across the country. These accidents obviously happen more frequently in rural areas like the Midwest. With thousands of farms across Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas, and an estimated 4.7 million tractors in use across the entire U.S., these accidents can be particularly deadly, or leave serious injuries that can change your life forever. Often, tractor rollover accidents in particular are the result of faulty design, or lack of appropriate safety equipment on the vehicle. If this is the case, our attorneys may be able to recover compensation from the manufacturer.
