Tractor Injury Lawyers
There’s no question that tractors continue to contribute strongly to the productivity and efficiency of the farming industry. Yet, as important as they are, these heavyweights account for a number of farming-related fatalities and injuries. While most accidents occur when tractors roll over or when riders fall off, some incidents involve power take-off shafts, or PTO’s. Specifically, there is a risk of loose-fitting clothing getting caught within the shaft joint, pulling unsuspecting workers into the shaft.
Many older model tractors are now being equipped with rollover protection structures or “roll bars,” which provide protection for operators in the event that the tractor flips over. Yet, it is often up to the farm owner or operator to have their equipment and machinery updated. Imagine the case of a hired laborer that is seriously injured or killed when a tractor rolls over. If it is proven that the addition of roll bars could have prevented their injury, the owner of the tractor or property could be considered liable for their injuries.
Farming equipment, particularly tractors, require constant attention and inspection to ensure that they are balanced and operating safely. If an owner is negligent in providing regular maintenance, as well as installing proper guards, any hired hand or worker is at risk for catastrophic injury or death.
If you or a loved one has been injured on a tractor, and you suspect that negligence is involved, call the tractor injury attorneys at CFJ Injury Lawyers in North Charleston today. Our evaluation of your injury and product liability claim is free of charge.

We Help Those Injured By Tractors
Farming and agricultural employers have the responsibility to protect the safety of workers on their farm. Similarly, manufacturers of farming equipment, including tractors, have the duty to prevent the selling of defective machinery to farmers and other businesses.
Thus, when a farm owner fails to regularly maintain equipment, or when a tractor is manufactured with a defect that makes it dangerous to operate, employees are clearly at risk. At CFJ Injury Lawyers, when you’ve suffered injury or death due to another’s negligence, we help you recover money for the damages and losses you’ve suffered. Contact us today for a free review of your tractor injury case, and we’ll work to make things right again.

Faith CenobioThey really took care of me when I was hurt on the job and recovering from my injury.
James JerrelsI feel very blessed to have found CFJ attorneys. From the first meeting and throughout the entire process I felt important to them. Lisa was very attentive with her dedication and communication with me. Not only would I use them in the future. I will highly recommend them to everyone I know.
Jaimie CatoeCFJ Injury Lawyers and their team are great! Cathy and Lisa are who I spoke with the most. They took care of me and were so understanding of my crazy work schedule and took that into consideration when contacting me! I couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my case.
Debbie KelcyMy husband and I have used Wern Law for over 25 years. So when we needed an attorney in 2018 we did not hesitate. Catherine has always handled our cases, and since the firm has "changed hands" from Richard to Catherine, she has gotten a few new associates in the group and hasn't missed a beat. If we ever need to have representation again, this is the only law firm we will use. If you need an attorney for other issues that they do not specialize in, rest assured they will give you excellent advice and good direction. I won't go on blast for the dirty underhanded attorneys and the likes who played games with clients as well as Richard and Catherine. So, if you happen to run across one of them that bad mouth CFI or their staff, run... CFI is very fair and ALWAYS have your best interest at heart. This firm are not ambulance chasers. They rely on word of mouth for advertising.
Rodney MandervilleRichard and his firm/Family have "Always" been there for me and my family as well as those I've referred to his Council. Through good times as well as tough times for literally 20 years. He has always delivered and even more so has become a Great Friend. The information may not always be what you desire to hear but you can be assured that they will be professional and tactful they insure that you are never caught off guard and, that you are thoroughly prepared and informed for any and all matters that may arise throughout your case. In a word "OUTSTANDING"!
Tiffany MillerVery professional staff, knows everyone's name no matter if you've been there only once! You get more than just an attorney; you get a support system and a friend (the type of friend if you're down in the trenches, he's there with you strategizing a way out). You really know that Richard is handling your case as best he can without question. I have used several different law firms in the past and I would recommend this law firm, seeing first-hand the length he goes to for his clients. He also has spanish speaking staff, I would highly recommend Nicole!!!
Larry ConnerI met Richard through my daughter. I fell 8 feet in February 2011 and broke the L2 vertebra in my back!! Over a period of two years, I realized I was going to need help. I came to meet with Richard to talk about my accident. It was the best thing I ever did! My case went on for a little over 3 years and I am very pleased with the outcome Richard helped me obtain. He is an excellent attorney!
