AGRICULTURE ACCIDENTS

California Agricultural Accidents Lawyers
Agricultural Accidents Attorneys in California

San Joaquin Valley farmers rank among the world's best. The Valley's rich agricultural heritage can trace its roots to a century ago. When the first settlers came to the area, they found boggy swampland. By harnessing the uncontrolled flow of water from the Kern River, this dangerous area was turned into some of the most productive agricultural land in the world.

A National Safety Council study of farm work accidents shows that workers under 24 years of age suffer a disproportionate number of severe and fatal accidents in the work force and exposure to hazards. The same study reveals that many accidents happen during the first few hours of use of a machine or a work activity. The Federal Hazardous Occupations Order makes it unlawful to hire youth under 16 for certain types of farm work.

All of this evidence points to the need for proper safety, training and supervision of workers. Although safety is the number one priority in the agriculture industry, serious accidents still occur. Agriculture workers are exposed to a wide range of hazards. Agriculture accidents generally are very serious and workers face a greater risk of work-related injury or fatality.

Serious medical problems can result from the following agriculture related accidents:

• ATV accidents
• Chemical exposure
• Child accidents on the farm
• Defective farm machinery
• Falls on the farm
• Farm shop accidents
• Defective hand tool
• Unguarded machinery
• Livestock injuries
• Methane gas explosions
• Electrocutions
• Tractor accidents
