Defective Farm Equipment

Injured by Defective Farm Equipment?

Working on a farm comes with certain risks—especially when you're operating heavy machinery and equipment. Farm tools require regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure their safety, but sometimes that's not enough.

Faulty parts and defective farm equipment can cause serious and even fatal injuries. How will your family—and farm—survive after an accident? Will you be able to work? What happens now? These are all questions you'll face after you're injured by a defective product.

We're here to help sort through the chaos and confusion of your accident. We'll help you plan for your financial future. We'll fight to recover money for your medical bills, and we'll handle the hassles while you focus on getting better.

Who Pays My Medical Bills?

If you or someone you love has been seriously hurt by a piece of farm equipment, you could be wondering how you will pay for your medical bills and support yourself and your family if you can't work because of your injury.

If your accident was caused because of a defect in a farm tool or piece of equipment, you could have a legal case against the manufacturer if there was a problem with:

• the way it was manufactured,
• the way is was assembled or
• the way it was marketed

If your injuries were caused because of faulty maintenance or manufacturing, the person or company responsible for maintenance or manufacturing the equipment could be liable for your injuries.

Product liability cases are complex— there are insurance issues, strict deadlines, and confusing paperwork. Don't go it alone. Call the experienced product injury attorneys at Edgar Snyder & Associates. We will handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on what's most important: Your recovery.

5 Things to Do After a Defective Farm Equipment Accident

The steps you take immediately following an accident caused by a defective piece of farm equipment can greatly affect the success of your legal claim. Here are five steps to take after being injured because of a defect in a farm tool or piece of equipment:

1. Get medical help. If you've been injured, seek medical attention. It's important to have a record of your injuries.
2. Report the incident. Report the incident to your supervisor, and to your insurance company. However, it is important that you do not give a written or verbal statement, and never sign any paperwork before first speaking with an experienced attorney.
3. Gather evidence. Take pictures of the accident scene, as well as the piece of equipment that caused your accident. If anyone witnessed the accident, get their contact information. When you can, write down your recollection of the event—as well as what you were doing right before it happened.
4. Stay off social media. We understand that it may be tempting to share details of your accident on social media. Receiving support from friends and loved ones is important, but we urge you to refrain from posting about your injuries on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms. Your words could be twisted and used against you—which could greatly affect the outcome of your case.
5. Call Edgar Snyder & Associates. When it comes to product liability cases, time is everything. Don't let valuable evidence disappear—call us today for a free case review. There's never an obligation to use our services, and there's never a fee unless we get money for you.

Remember: Be careful! If you say the wrong words or sign the wrong papers—even if the accident wasn't your fault—your case could be ruined forever. Call us now at 1-866-943-3427 and let us help you.
