Farming is one of the most dangerous jobs in America.  With many in the GILS Group team having farm and ranch background, experience in litigation is brought to the table, giving the client comfort of knowing that those representing him or her understand the industry and the issues. 

The founding member of GILS Group actually suffered minor farm injuries as a child from a rusty barbed wire fence similar to the one on our photo as well as another injury from falling onto an augur blade that was lying on the ground when a farm animal knocked her down.  She has also witnessed a number of injuries that occurred as a result of dangerous equipment and farm animals -- and had a number of family friends who suffered severe injuries and even death on the farm.  This first-hand knowledge allows for a thorough and in-depth analysis of the facts supporting a farm accident and personal injury claim. 

The most common type of injuries involves the following:

(1)   Agricultural equipment injuries such as tractor overturns and machinery entanglements;

(2)   Farm structure emergencies such as grain bin entrapments and electrocution;

(3)   Farm animal incidents; and

(4)   Farm chemical exposures, spills, fires, and toxic gas exposures.

To fully understand your rights, it is important to contact an attorney should an accident occur.    GILS Group is available to conduct on-farm visits in the event a loved one is too ill or injured to travel to one of our office locations.   In difficult times it is important to rely on professionals who are aware of the hazards involved when working in the agricultural industry.  Do not hesitate to contact our office to discuss any concerns you might have in greater detail.
