Farm Accidents

griculture is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States. Each year numerous Nebraskans die as a result of farm accidents. Of all such accidents, the tractor has accounted for the most deaths and injuries.

Many Nebraska farmers have suffered injuries over the years, yet have sought no compensation for those injuries. The realization that farmers are often not responsible for these injuries and should not bear the financial burden resulting from farm accidents, however, has brought about changes in both the insurance industry and legal system.

Farm injuries frequently involve power take-offs, tractor roll-overs, chemical burns, slow-moving vehicle injuries, or grain handling equipment. It is well-known that Nebraska farmers operate and maintain heavy duty equipment and machinery, which by its nature can be extremely hazardous. Nebraska farmers also use many hazardous chemicals.
