  • Hay baler, power auger, corn picker, tractor or other agricultural equipment accidents
  • Failure to warn of foreseeable hazards
  • Removal of shields, guards and safety devices from farming equipment
  • Improper maintenance or repair of farming equipment
  • Breach of warranty concerns

  • Illness or sickness due to the product or chemicals used
  • Tractor rollovers
  • Pesticide exposure and fertilizer burns

Many farm accidents will result in severe or disabling injuries including loss of limbs, traumatic brain damage, spinal cord damage or broken bones.

A personal injury should be report immediately

If you have been injured or are feeling ill at the workplace, it is important to tell your boss about it. Fill in a workplace incident complaint, no matter how small or insignificant the incident may seem. A minor ache now could turn into a lifetime of back pain. Furthermore, a slight cough could be the signs of a serious infection or sickness due to a pesticide or other chemical.

I highly recommend M&K, not only was the settlement much more than I anticipated, it was a pleasure to work with Pete and his staff. He is professional, polite and straightforward. His knowledge and litigation skill coupled with business manner, helped make the process easy and understandable. His analysis was thoughtful, honest and he explained complex concepts and procedures. I was very pleased with his expertise.
