Auger Accident Attorney - Buffalo, New York (NY)
Rochester, New York (NY) Lawyer Helping Victims of Auger Accidents
Many farmers use augers to collect and move grain. Augers have a spiral screw inside an outer tube, which pushes the grain from the lower end to the top end. Augers are usually powered by electric motors. When they are in operation, augers can present serious risks to the operator and others in there path. According to the National Agricultural Safety Database, most auger accidents occur when:
- The auger comes into contact with or becomes entangled in the exposed crew at the intake;
- There is an entanglement in a belt drive;
- Someone or something is struck by an uncontrolled spinning crank;
- Something becomes entangled in a PTO drive shaft;
- The raised upper end comes into contact with overhead high power lines.
The most common auger injuries are lacerations, fractures and amputations.
