The Second Most Dangerous Product in America
April 4, 2005 by Bob Christensen
Farming continues to be the most dangerous industry in the world. Jim Betz, my former partner and good friend, has worked with me in obtaining significant victories in farming machinery cases.
Jim and I received a $50,000 offer to settle the case of a man who lost an arm in a large round hay baler. He was not the first to lose his arm, his leg or his life in this baler when he was captured. Rather, he was one of scores if not hundreds. Could this loss of an arm have been avoided if he could have shut off the machine?
Yes, and we proved it. Jim and I tried the case and received a verdict in excess of $1,000,000.00. After this verdict, Jim and I have obtained substantial settlements involving this product.
