Hay Baler & Auger Injuries

Tractor Accessory & Auxiliary Accidents & Injuries - Investigating Cases Nationwide

Aside from the multitudinous hazards posed by farm tractors, the accessories and auxiliary equipment systems used in conjunction with the tractors pose their own unique hazards. These auxiliary systems are powered by the tractor, and mechanically harness tremendous energy. When that energy is applied to flesh and bone, the flesh always yields. If you have been profoundly injured as a result of farm tractor accessory accidents, contact Mr. Demerath today for a no-cost consultation.

Hay Baler Accidents

Hay balers are useful tractor accessories on the farm because they tie and bundle the hay into parcels called bales. Although hay balers are a convenient and useful tool, use of these machines is risky. A person could have their hair, limbs, or body part caught in the Baler or even torn right off. Persons could become entangled in the power take-off shaft. Persons could also fall from the tractor while using the hay baler or the operator could run over a bystander. These injuries could result in lifelong disabilities and disfigurement, or even death.

Sadly, many accidents could have been prevented if the balers had been equipped with the proper safety equipment, if the appropriate precautions and warnings were posted, and if the operator had been given proper instruction regarding the use of the machines. Manufactures, designers, and distributors often fail to provide the safety systems to cut corners and increase profit. Call Mr. Demerath today to preserve your right to legal recovery against the negligent parties.
