Injuries Caused by Defective Farm Equipment
Defective balers and tractors can lead to severe, life-changing injuries. Common defects include design flaws, manufacturing errors, and inadequate safety systems. These issues can result in the following tragic outcomes:
- Crushing Injuries: Operators can suffer crushing injuries when hay baler components malfunction or tractor safety features fail. Heavy, moving machinery can trap and pin limbs or torsos, leaving individuals permanently disabled.
- Amputations: Exposed moving parts and faulty systems put individuals at risk of catastrophic amputations. Defective tractor brake linkage or poorly designed safety guards are often contributing factors in these devastating accidents.
- Tractor Rollovers: Tractor rollovers are one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities on farms. Defective rollover protective structures (ROPS) or unstable tractor designs can turn routine work into a life-threatening event.
These injuries often require lengthy recovery periods, expensive medical treatments, and force many families to face emotional and financial challenges. At Conner, Marr & Pinski, we have the experience to help you pursue compensation for your medical costs, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
Fire Hazards Linked to Defective John Deere Balers
Fires caused by defective agricultural equipment are especially devastating, destroying fields, crops, and infrastructure in moments.
One example of this type of disaster involved a John Deere Model 567 Round Baler. A lower roller bearing failure sparked a fire that spread across thousands of acres. The fire destroyed hay, crops, stubble, and fencing, while also causing severe topsoil erosion. Conner, Marr & Pinski represented the baler owner, multiple landowners, and a rural fire department in claims involving product liability, warranty breaches, and negligence.
These cases show how destructive poorly designed or manufactured equipment can be, not just for the user, but for entire communities. Fires caused by defective balers create financial ruin, environmental damage, and lasting harm for landowners. If you’ve experienced property damage or losses due to defective machinery, our attorneys can help you hold the responsible parties accountable.
