Farm Accidents
Serious farm accidents occur annually in Indiana.
Stuart & Branigin’s farm accident attorneys understand the risks and dangers that come with farming.
Farming is considered a high-risk occupation due to the use of heavy machinery, dangerous chemicals and the unpredictable nature of the workplace. Safety laws and regulations are put in place for farmers and their workers; however, accidents still occur. Tractor accidents account for the most injuries and deaths annually across the country.
