FARM EQUIPMENT INJURIES
Farm Accidents: When Safety Fails, We Fight for You.
We understand the dedication and hard work farmers put in every day. At
Martz and Lucas, we represent many farmers and appreciate the safety
measures they take to protect themselves and others. However, accidents
can still happen, especially when others on the farm don’t prioritize safety. If
you’ve been injured due to a farm equipment accident caused by
negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Martz and Lucas
today for a free consultation and learn how we can help.
SERVICES OFFERED
Farm accidents can be devastating, leading to serious injuries and financial
hardship. At Martz and Lucas, we understand the unique challenges faced
by those injured in farm equipment accidents. We offer comprehensive
legal services to protect your rights and obtain the compensation you
deserve, including:
- Understanding Farm Injury Laws: Indiana has specific laws regarding farm accidents. We’ll explain your rights and options under these laws, including worker’s compensation and potential third-party liability claims.
- Investigating the Cause: We’ll conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the accident, such as malfunctioning equipment, improper training, or failure to follow safety protocols. We’ll gather evidence like police reports, witness statements, and safety manuals to support your claim.
- Identifying Liable Parties: Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties could be liable for your injuries, including the farm owner, equipment manufacturer, or a negligent co-worker. We’ll identify all potentially liable parties to ensure you receive full compensation.
- Worker’s Compensation Claims: If you were an employee injured while operating farm equipment, you might be eligible for worker’s compensation benefits. We’ll help you navigate the worker’s compensation system and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to, including medical care and lost wages.
- Third-Party Liability Claims: If a third party, besides your employer, was responsible for the accident (e.g., a faulty equipment manufacturer), we’ll pursue a separate legal claim against them. This claim can seek compensation for damages beyond what worker’s compensation covers, such as pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
- Maximizing Compensation: We’ll aggressively negotiate with insurance companies to ensure you receive the maximum compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term disability resulting from your injuries
COMMON CONCERNS
Farm injuries can be life-altering, leaving you with physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial burdens. Here are some of the most common concerns people face:
Understanding Your Rights: Indiana’s farm accident laws can be complex. You might be unsure about your rights and options, including worker’s compensation eligibility and potential lawsuits against other parties.
Medical Expenses and Lost Wages: Serious farm equipment injuries often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, leading to significant medical bills and lost income. You might be worried about managing these expenses while recovering from your injuries.
Long-Term Effects: Some farm equipment accidents can result in permanent disabilities, impacting your ability to work and live independently. You may be concerned about the long-term financial and personal consequences of your injuries.
Identifying All Liable Parties: Determining who is responsible for your accident can be complicated. You might be unsure if your employer, a equipment manufacturer, or someone else is liable.
Maximizing Compensation: Worker’s compensation might not cover all your losses. You might be concerned about getting the full compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering and future needs.
