Common Causes of Farm Equipment Accidents in Ohio

Farm equipment doesn’t just stay on fields. In many rural and semi-rural areas around Worthington, drivers share the road with slow-moving tractors, combines, and other heavy agricultural vehicles. These machines create real hazards, especially when they turn without signaling, have limited visibility, or lack proper lighting.

At Harris Law, we represent clients who were seriously injured in crashes caused by:

  • Rear-end collisions with slow-moving tractors
  • Left-turn accidents involving farm equipment crossing lanes
  • Machinery pulling onto roads without warning
  • Oversized loads that block traffic or obscure visibility
  • Negligent maintenance or defective safety equipment

We investigate what happened, gather the evidence, and hold negligent operators, employers, or equipment owners accountable.

Types of Agricultural Equipment Involved in Ohio Road Accidents

We’ve seen serious injuries caused by a wide range of farm and heavy equipment, often operated on roads not designed for slow, oversized machinery. Common examples include:

  • Tractors, combines, cultivators, and seed drills
  • Balers, augers, sprayers, and rotary mowers
  • Harvesters, plows, hoes, and subsoilers
  • Grain carts, planters, air seeders, and shredders
  • Front-end loaders, timber forwarders, and log splitters
  • Pickup trucks used in agricultural operations

Whether your crash involved a Terragator on a two-lane road or a sprayer crossing traffic without warning, we’ll investigate what happened and determine who’s responsible.

Injuries Caused by Tractor and Farm Equipment Accidents

When farm equipment meets passenger vehicles, the results can be catastrophic. These machines are heavy, difficult to maneuver, and often lack basic crash safety features.

We represent clients who have suffered:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Broken bones and crush injuries
  • Internal injuries or organ damage
  • Disfigurement and long-term disability

These injuries can mean long hospital stays, lost wages, ongoing medical care, and a permanent impact on your quality of life. We work to recover every dollar you’re owed.

Understanding Your Rights After a Farm Equipment Crash

In Ohio, accident victims can seek compensation if someone else’s negligence caused their injuries. That includes operators of combines, seeders, or pickup trucks used in farming who failed to follow safety rules.

But don’t expect the insurance company to make it easy. These claims often involve:

  • Commercial farming operations with corporate insurance teams
  • Complex questions about road access and right-of-way
  • Blame-shifting to the injured driver

We know how to cut through the noise and build a strong, clear case that supports your claim. At Harris Law, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial—because sometimes, that’s what it takes to get a fair result.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Farm Equipment Accidents

How long do I have to file a claim after a farm equipment crash?

In Ohio, most injury claims must be filed within two years. Some exceptions apply, so it’s best to talk to a lawyer quickly to protect your rights.

Do I need a lawyer for this kind of accident?

Yes. These cases often involve unique liability issues, large insurance policies, and farming corporations. A personal injury lawyer can help level the playing field.

What does it cost to hire Harris Law?

We work on contingency, which means you don’t pay us unless we recover money for you. No upfront costs. No hourly fees.

What if I was partially at fault?

Ohio uses comparative fault rules. If you were less than 51% responsible, you can still recover compensation. Your award may be reduced based on your share of fault.

Will I have to go to court?

Most cases settle before trial—but we prepare every case like it might go to court so we’re ready for anything.
