Have you been injured on the job? If so, it’s not your fault!
As a farm worker, you are employed in one of the most hazardous of occupations. Many of these hazards are caused by defective farm equipment manufactured by corporations that fail to adequately ensure your safety.

There are many types of compensation you may be eligible for, including:
