Unfortunately, with the growth in the number of wind farms comes the potential for a rise in the number of wind turbine accident injuries, too. Accidents involving wind turbines can lead to severe injuries or fatalities due to the size, height, and mechanical complexities of the equipment involved. If you or a loved one has been injured in a wind turbine accident, you may be entitled to compensation with guidance from a wind turbine accident lawyer.
