Farm Equipment Accidents Lawyer Advocating For Injured Farm Workers
Farm workers run the risk of accident every day they operate this kind of machinery. Most are aware of the risk and take proper precautions to avoid injury. Accidents still happen, though, and we will help you recover the benefits needed to cover medical treatment and time lost at work.
While these accidents may be covered under workers’ compensation, if you were on the job at the time, we will help you put together a successful workers’ compensation claim.
