Farm Accident Attorneys for Dangerous Machinery and Chemical Exposure
We're proud to serve Southern Minnesota and our local farmers. Unfortunately, farm workers face significant dangers every day to provide quality food for the rest of us. Statistically, agricultural work is one of the most dangerous professions, and injuries prompt hefty medical bills and wrongful death cases. Farm injuries can occur as a result of falls, defective farm equipment or dangerous farm machinery, explosions/fires, tractor rollovers, exposure to fumes and chemicals, or the negligence of other people.
If you or someone you love has been injured in an agricultural accident, it's critical to contact an experienced personal injury attorney immediately to fully investigate your personal injury claim and preserve critical evidence. You could be entitled to workers' compensation or a settlement offer. If defective farm equipment may have contributed to a farm accident or work-related injury, the product must be preserved as it was at the time of the agricultural injury and inspected promptly by an experienced product liability injury attorney.
The experienced attorneys at Maschka, Riedy, and Ries offer legal representation and will ensure all of your personal injury claims are paid in a timely fashion and that you receive all applicable benefits and fair compensation. Farm accident victims and their family members may be entitled to financial recovery for medical expenses, wrongful death, wage loss, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
