Pennsylvania Farm & Agricultural Statistics

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has over 58,000 farms throughout its’ 67 counties. Commodities produced on Pennsylvania farms are primarily chickens, cows, pigs and various grains. There are also many private and public horse farms throughout Pennsylvania. Everyday farmers, and their hired hands, are injured in Pennsylvania. Many of these accidents can result in permanent disability, loss of limb and wrongful death. With multiple generations working together and the fact that farms are, in many cases peoples home and places of employment, an injury suffered in a farming accident can be particularly devastating. With my many years experience handling workers’ compensation claims I lawyers have the resources, skills and courtroom experience to help restore your life and livelihood after a Pennsylvania farm accident.

Types of Farming Accidents

Working on a farm, while very noble and gratifying, can also be extremely dangerous. Farm work is very labor intensive and has the capacity to result in physical injury due to the wear and tear it has on the body. Also, a lot of farm work is done with machines and if not operated properly, or if they are not properly maintained, they can cause injuries as well. Common farm accidents and injuries can include:

  • Tractor accidents
  • Combine accidents
  • Equipment and machine accidents
  • Injuries caused by livestock (and other types of animals)
  • Amputation injuries
  • Exposure to pesticides and other toxic substances
  • Head, neck and back injuries
  • Repetitive stress injuries
