El Centro Farm Machinery Accident Injury Lawyer
The residents of El Centro enjoy life in a community that is in the heart of one of the most prolific agricultural areas in the state and the western portion of the country. There are huge commercial farms that produce much of the fresh produce that is shipped to stores and markets across the United States. The nearby highway and railway make this the ideal location to be able to ship perishable quickly and help keep the economy thriving.
As you drive around the community and surrounding area, it is not a shock to see farm machinery being driven down the road. While it is not illegal to operate these large tools on roads for transportation purposes, there are very strict rules related to where they can travel and the speed for the movement of tools like harvesters, combines, and tractors on El Centro roads. These guidelines are in place for the safety of the equipment operator and the other drivers who are using the roads. But sadly, the rules are not always being followed, and the result is often an El Centro farm machinery accident that causes harm to one or more innocent victims.

Who Is Liable For My Injuries Caused By A n El Centro Farm Machinery Accident?
In most cases, the operator of the farm equipment is to blame for the accident that causes harm to other vehicles and drivers. Sadly, the vast size of the machine and the location of the driver, high above the roof of most cars, make it challenging to see all the traffic around the machine. In addition, the equipment is often much wider than a single traffic lane and can cause passenger vehicles to veer off the road or stop to allow the machine to pass. If the driver is not paying close attention when the smaller passenger vehicles are nearby, it is easy to move the steering wheel slightly and cause impact with the car, truck, or SUV.
In other cases, the cause of an accident involving farm machinery could be another driver. In most cases, these large pieces of farm machinery are limited to a very slow speed when on the road. The result can be a driver or many drivers stuck behind the farm machinery who are trying to pass it. Because of the massive size of the equipment, it can be difficult or even impossible to see around it to know when it is safe to pass. If a car dodges out around the farm machinery and hits an oncoming car or hits a vehicle in front of the machinery, they could be liable for the accident.
What victims of these accidents need to understand is that while the equipment is permitted on roads, they must also abide by laws and operate the equipment safely. If the machine operator has chosen to block all lanes of a road or is not following other laws, they can be to blame for an accident. However, other drivers also have the legal obligation to act responsibly and safely when driving around slow-moving equipment. Please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today to discuss your case with an El Centro farm machinery accident injury lawyer to better understand the liability for your accident and if you have grounds to file a lawsuit to secure compensation for your losses and expenses caused by the incident.
How Much Is My El Centro Farm Machinery Accident Injury Lawsuit Worth?
If you have never been involved in a personal injury incident, you likely have little information on these cases and how they are completed. In addition, you might have fallen prey to some common misinformation that there are predetermined compensation amounts for certain accidents or injuries. However, that is not valid. Instead, each lawsuit is carefully evaluated independently, and the compensation amount is based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim. Working with the Kenmore Law Group personal injury team, you will compile all documents to verify the allowable expenses you incurred to complete the valuation process for your case. Items typically used in this process include but are not always limited to:
- The cost of all legal services related to preparing, filing, and litigating the farm machinery accident injury lawsuit
- Your current and projected medical expenses related to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the harm suffered in the accident, as well as any therapy or counseling to address the trauma and stress of the accident and injuries
- Your lost income if the injuries suffered in the accident prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully recovered and cleared by your medical care provider to return to the duties defined by your job description
- The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the accident caused by the farm machinery
How Long Do I Have To File My El Centro Farm Machinery Accident Injury Lawsuit?
As the victim of personal injuries, you are given two years from the date of the injury incident to file a lawsuit with the court. The time limit is strictly enforced, and if your case is not in the hands of the court when the time limit expires, you will lose the right to pursue legal action related to this matter in the future. It is also critical to understand that there are very few exceptions that would provide a victim with added time to take legal action once the original time limit has expired. Please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today to determine the time remaining for you to pursue a lawsuit related to this matter.
