Many Tractor Accidents result from:
- Operating a Tractor on an incline that is too steep
- Holes in the ground
- Speed variations
- Improper Hitching
Tractor Accidents can involve running over people or property. For example the tractor operator may not look to see that a bystander is behind the tractor. Perhaps the tractor lacks the proper equipment to enable the operator to fully see behind him.
Rollover Accidents are a very common kind of Tractor Accident. The federal government has adopted standards to improve tractor safety from a rollover standpoint.
Many Tractor Accidents could be avoided by the owner or driver adhering to proper safety standards or by the manufacturer heeding certain safety measures when building a tractor.
If you or someone you know has been injured or killed in a Tractor Accident, call the Law Offices of John R. Reeves, PC.
Tractor and farm equipment accidents
Tractor accidents can happen on the farm or on the road, where slow-moving farm equipment shares highways with faster traffic. Claims may involve the driver of a car that struck a tractor, an equipment owner, or a manufacturer if a rollover protection system or other safety feature failed.
Determining who is responsible often requires inspecting the equipment and the scene. John R. Reeves represents people injured in tractor and farm equipment accidents in central Mississippi.
