Common Farm Injuries
There are inherent risks associated with farming and with those risks come injuries that are unfortunately often tragic. Farm accidents encompass pretty much any activity involved in farm operations that affect laborers, employees, family and friends.
Farming accidents can even affect people not directly involved in the farming operations, such as a tractor operator on the highway that crosses the centerline and strikes an oncoming vehicle, debris falling from wagons or farm equipment, and loading and unloading operations on roadways, especially at night and without proper lighting.
Common Risks Associated With Equipment On The Farm
- Equipment negligently maintained
- Protective guards removed
- Defective design features
- Operator error
Tractor rollovers are common farm injuries, as are serious injuries or death when dealing with or handling equipment such as belts, chains and PTOs. Additionally, the handling of livestock, especially bulls or cows, can result in serious injury or death, and our office has successfully litigated these cases in the past. Farms and farm injuries in Wisconsin are not typically subject to the Wisconsin Workers’ Compensation System if the farm is small enough that it has five or fewer employees.
This means, if you were injured in a workplace farming accident, your only recourse for compensation may be a personal injury lawsuit. It is also important to note that federal workplace safety requirements under OSHA often do not cover smaller family farming operations.
