Common Causes of Farm Equipment Malfunctions in Ohio

Farm tractors, seed drills, plows, and other machinery rely on complex systems that must work flawlessly for safety. When equipment like vacuum tankers, sulky plows, or timber forwarders fail, the results can be catastrophic.

At Harris Law, we represent clients injured by malfunctions such as:

  • Hydraulic failures in front-end loaders or log splitters
  • Mechanical breakdowns in combines, planters, or drum mowers
  • Defective brakes or steering on pickup trucks used on farms
  • Malfunctioning augers, straw shredders, or subsoilers causing loss of control
  • Unexpected equipment separation in air seeders or separation systems
  • Faulty electrical or safety systems in balers, tedders, or sprayers

We thoroughly investigate to identify defective parts, negligent maintenance, or manufacturer errors.

Injuries from Malfunctioning Agricultural Equipment

Malfunctioning farm machinery can cause severe injuries such as:

  • Crushing injuries from sudden equipment stops or rollovers
  • Severe cuts or amputations from faulty shredders or planters
  • Broken bones or spinal injuries from falls caused by defective steps or handrails
  • Head trauma from unexpected collisions with machinery like bulldozers or grain carts
  • Long-term disability due to repetitive strain or improper safety guards

We understand these injuries often require extensive medical care and disrupt your ability to work. Our goal is to secure full compensation for your damages.

Your Rights After a Farm Equipment Malfunction Injury in Ohio

Ohio law holds equipment manufacturers, maintenance providers, and employers accountable when negligence causes injury. Malfunctions in machinery like cattle farming equipment, pump units, or rotary mowers can be traced to design flaws, poor repairs, or improper warnings.

We know how to build cases involving:

  • Product liability claims against manufacturers of faulty equipment
  • Negligence claims against farms or contractors responsible for maintenance
  • Workers’ compensation claims alongside personal injury lawsuits

Insurance companies and manufacturers often deny or undervalue these claims, but Harris Law fights aggressively to hold all responsible parties accountable.
