Leavenworth County, KS — An accident with a farm tractor sent three men to the hospital on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, in Leavenworth County, Kansas.
An Oldsmobile carrying Zachary Ingram and Seth Ingram was traveling along Kansas 32 when it rear-ended a tractor being driven by Charles Call. Call and Zachary Ingram were taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center. Seth Ingram was taken to Kansas University Medical Center.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says that the Ingrams were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the accident.
The accident is still under investigation.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary
Right now, it’s not clear whether or not the driver of the tractor was the owner or was on the job when the accident occurred. If this was an on the job accident, it’s possible that this could be a simple workers compensation claim. Because a third party was involved, the driver of the tractor would have a claim against them, which would be handled like any other insurance claim.
Depending on the amount of damage done, it’s possible that the third party’s insurance won’t be able to cover everything. In that case, the tractor driver could look to his own employer’s Uninsured Motorist coverage, which could make up the difference.
This is a basic rundown of how things would look had the accident occurred in Texas. Something similar may apply in other states as well.
