Child Killed in Hayrack Accident; Factor Safety into Choosing a Pumpking Patch this Holiday Season

School has started which means summer has ended...at least unofficially.  Before you know it, the leaves will be falling and you will be planning the big annual family trip to your favorite pumpkin patch or farm.  Many of us here in Kansas and Missouri love this time of year because of the interesting and different activities that are provided at this time of year. 

While you are picking out where to go to get a pumpkin or get lost in a maze or take a leisurely hay rack ride, make sure the farm or patch you have picked has a proven track record for safety.  At Roswold Law Group, we see serious injury accidents happen at these farms more than you might think and know that safety is often the last thing that is considered when the activities are so innocent.

This past weekend, a 12 year-old child was killed in a hay rack ride accident at a farm in Partridge, Kansas.  In the accident four kids fell from the front bucket of the tractor.  All of them fell and were run over by the tractor.  One of the children was killed.  The other three were hospitalized with serious injury.

As Kansas City Child Accident and Injury Attorneys we hope everyone has a fun-filled and above all, safe holiday season.  Make it a family activity to research different farms and pumpkin patches in your area and make it a point to highlight safety to your children as a crucial factor in your decision.
