Farm and Construction Accidents
Farming is one of the most hazardous occupations in the United States. According to the Department of Labor, thousands of farm workers are seriously injured and hundreds of farm workers die in farming accidents each year.
Farming machinery, particularly tractors, usually cause farming accidents. Tractor accidents are the main cause of injuries and death in farming. Approximately 52 percent of all tractor accidents involve tractor rollovers. Although manufacturers are aware of the risk of tractor rollovers, implementing necessary safety measures is a slow process. Many tractors lack rollover bars that protect a driver in tractor rollovers.
In the United States, some of our most severe, disabling and often fatal injuries also occur at construction sites. The nature of construction sites change daily. Evidence is lost or disappears without warning. Various parties at the site often deny any responsibility following a construction accident.
In the event of a serious injury or death, Axley's personal injury lawyers promptly undertake an evaluation and investigation of the accident. Uncovering evidence of precisely what happened to cause the accident is often difficult and challenging. Depending on the results of the investigation, the project owners, general contractors, architects and engineers, subcontractors and insurance companies may individually or collectively be responsible for failures to abide by safety rules or for creating unsafe conditions. Job site responsibility, industry standards, OSHA regulations and Wisconsin Safe Place law are examples of the legal issues that need to be addressed.
Construction accidents often result in severe injuries. Serious brain injuries, fractures, falls, electrocution, nerve injuries, paraplegia, quadriplegia and death are too often the result of neglect and carelessness at a job site. We work to identify the responsible party(s) at the job site.
Axley Brynelson’s Personal Injury Team have the experience and expertise to help you. If you have been injured in a farming or construction accident, please contact us for more information.
Wrongful Death
Representing a family suffering the loss of a loved one is one of a personal injury lawyer's most challenging responsibilities. The law uses the term wrongful death to describe this situation. Wrongful death is a long-standing, historic rule of law that allows a family to recover compensation for a death caused by another person's negligence or reckless conduct.
The family suffering the loss is grieving and trying to adjust to that loss. The family is often left wondering:
- How and why the death occurred
- What happened?
- Could it have been prevented?
Death cases require a prompt and thorough investigation. An attorney should be involved early in death cases because witness memories and physical evidence can fade over time. A prompt and thorough investigation often leads to an early and successful settlement of the claim. Please contact us for more information.
Injuries from Defective Products
Thousands of people are seriously injured or killed each year by dangerous and defective products. Many of these injuries could have been avoided if appropriate safety and design measures were taken prior to manufacturing and distribution. Some examples of defective products include:
- Automobiles
- Dangerous toys
- Industrial machinery and equipment
- Improperly designed consumer products
- Prescription drugs
A product must be labeled with sufficient instructions or warnings about necessary precautions. The law protects consumers and workers from these types of products by permitting them to bring claims against manufacturers or other entities responsible for the defective product.
Axley's personal injury attorneys are experienced with claims involving defective products ranging from automobiles, child carriers, car seats, farm machinery, factory machines, automated doors, daily/household products and an array of machines and products that cause injury. Please contact us for more information.
