Compensation for Farm Accident Injuries
Farms can be dangerous workplaces, exposing workers to accidents that can leave them injured and disabled.
Some of the most common farm accidents include:
- Tractor accidents
- Combine accidents
- Injuries caused by livestock
- Head, neck, and back injuries
- Exposure to pesticides and other toxic substances
Are You Suffering from a Repetitive Stress Injury?
Farm injuries are not always the result of a specific accident. Repetitive stress injuries such as back injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome can develop over a long period, debilitating farm workers, no matter their age.
Farm work can require repeated motions such as stooping, crouching, bending, and use of the hands. Days, weeks, and years of these repeated motions can take their toll, leaving workers temporarily or permanently disabled. Our California personal injury law firm can help you in all aspects of your case, including seeking workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability benefits.
What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Farm & Agricultural Accident Claim?
Victims of farm and agricultural accidents may be qualified to different types of compensation, depending on the accident's circumstances and the injuries' severity. Potential damages include:
- Medical Expenses: This includes the expense of emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, and any necessary ongoing medical care. If future medical expenses are anticipated due to long-term injuries, these may also be included in the claim.
- Lost Wages: If the injury prevents you from working, you may be qualified to compensation for your lost income during your recovery. This can also extend to future lost earnings if the injury results in long-term or permanent disability.
- Pain and Suffering: Physical pain, emotional despair, and the overall impact of the injury on your quality of life can be challenging to quantify but are essential components of a compensation claim.
- Disability and Disfigurement: Compensation may be granted for permanent disabilities or disfigurements resulting from the accident, which can affect your ability to work and engage in everyday activities.
- Loss of Consortium: If the injury has impacted your relationship with your spouse or family, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of companionship and support.
- Punitive Damages: In instances where the accountable party's conduct was particularly egregious or reckless, punitive damages could be granted to penalize the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
