When does a farm injury constitute a personal injury claim?
The answer to this question is not always straightforward, as the determination can depend on a variety of factors. Generally, however, a personal injury claim may be filed if agricultural workers are injured as the result of another person's negligence or defective farm equipment. Certain activities on a farm can be inherently dangerous, such as working with livestock or using heavy machinery. In some cases, farm workers may be injured as a result of a faulty piece of farm equipment or because of the negligence of another individual. If this is the case, accident victims may be able to file a personal injury claim to recover damages.
