“Crush” accidents and resulting injuries occur when a body part becomes trapped in or under machinery, and they can be quite severe in nature, sometimes resulting in amputation or even death. While many such accidents occur during cropping or machinery-maintenance, they can also result from falling objects, tractor rollovers, or all-terrain vehicle accidents. Crush injuries are also the fifth most common form of fatal injury among farmers and agricultural workers.

Many crush injuries occur to the hands, feet, arms, or legs, which can result in two types of internal damage:

  • Compartment Syndrome occurs when muscles within the crushed extremity swell and prevent blood from flowing, which puts pressure on nerves and blood vessels;
  • Crush Injury Syndrome describes compression of a larger area of muscle, which severely restricts blood-flow and damages cells within the muscles.
