When a person sustains a personal injury in an accident involving a motorized vehicle, one might be forgiven for assuming that the injuries were sustained in an automotive crash or collision, rather than a fall. The truth, however, is that falls from vehicles, tractors, and other power equipment are among the more dangerous – even deadly – injury-causing falls. Sometimes these fall accidents are due to improper usage of the equipment, but even when an operator is using the vehicle in the way it was intended, a lack of careful maintenance or poor conditions can create hazards that can result in a fall even when the vehicle is parked.
