Abstract
National safety statistics show that farm work is dangerous. A careless act by the farm operator may result in serious injury to a hired hand, a neighbor or other person. This chapter attempts a very summary description of some of the important aspects of the law of negligence which apply in such a case.
On this subject generally see Prosser, Torts (1941).
