Frequently Asked Questions on Farm Accident Services
WHAT SHOULD I DO IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FARM ACCIDENT?
Immediately after a farm accident, ensure your safety and the safety of others. Call 911 to report the accident and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Document the scene by taking photos, gathering witness information, and noting any equipment involved. Avoid making statements about fault. Consult with an attorney to understand your legal rights and options.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THE FARM EQUIPMENT THAT CAUSED A SERIOUS INJURY?
It is important that you do not do anything to alter or modify any farm equipment which caused personal injury. The equipment should remain in the same or similar state to allow an expert evaluation of the equipment to determine whether it was defective or unreasonably dangerous. You should also take videos and photographs of the equipment shortly after the incident; these videos and photographs can be used as evidence in a legal action.
WHAT TYPES OF INSURANCE COVERAGE MIGHT APPLY TO A FARM ACCIDENT CLAIM?
Insurance coverage for farm accident claims may include general liability insurance, workers’ compensation (if applicable), and personal health insurance. Additionally, farm equipment insurance and umbrella policies may provide further coverage. Our attorneys can help identify all applicable insurance policies to maximize your compensation.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR MY FARM ACCIDENT INJURY CLAIM?
Continuing medical treatment is crucial for your farm accident injury claim as it provides documented evidence of your injuries and their severity. It shows that you are taking necessary steps to recover and prevents the insurance company from arguing that your injuries are not serious or that you failed to mitigate damages.
