Farm Equipment Accidents

Farming is a dangerous occupation. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries. In 2010, 476 farmers and farm workers died from a work-related injury for a fatality rate of 26.1 deaths per 100,000 workers. Tragically, the injury rate is much higher. Every day, approximately 243 farm workers suffer a lost-time injury and five percent of this number will sustain a permanent impairment.

At particular risk are youths under 20 years of age who either reside or work on the farm. According to the most recent data, approximately 16,000 youths are injured on farms each year and another 113 are killed.
