Farm Accidents
Wisconsin Farm Accident Lawyer
Farming is one of the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. Working with heavy equipment, often in isolated locations, puts farmers and laborers at great risk for serious personal injury.
Entanglement, crushing, and amputation injuries can result when the equipment farm workers use lacks proper safety shut-offs, guards, or shields. At Herrick & Hart we’ve seen workers injured by power drives, augers, hay bailers, power take-offs, and barn cleaners. These traumatic injuries have a serious effect on farmers and their families.
If you suffered a farming injury due to faulty equipment, you are entitled to financial compensation for your losses. Contact our office to speak to an Eau Claire farming equipment injury attorney with experience and a track record of proven results.
At Herrick & Hart, our attorneys represent injured farmers and farm laborers in northwestern Wisconsin, including Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Menomonie, Hudson, Rice Lake, Superior, Wausau, LaCrosse, and everywhere in between.
We work with engineers to discover the cause of your accident and any defects in machinery operation or design. We work with medical experts to understand the full extent of your injuries and with vocational consultants to determine if you will be able to return to the hard work of farming after your recovery.
If your injuries make it impossible to farm, a financial settlement can help you gain an education in a new field so that you can get back your financial independence.
Through the dedicated efforts of our experienced Wisconsin farm accident lawyers, our firm has been able to recover significant financial compensation for past clients with traumatic injuries caused by defective farm equipment.

Settlement: $400,000
Our client was a farmer who suffered injuries to his arm and hand after his sleeve was caught in the unguarded rotating shaft of a manure spreader. His arm was pulled into the machine, causing severe lacerations and twisting injury to his arm and hand. The lawsuit was brought against the farming equipment manufacturer.
