Farm Accident and Injury Claims

Farm Injury Claims

If you or a loved one has suffered from a farm injury or agricultural accident, we can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Our personal injury solicitors have 100 years’ experience of winning claims for those who have been injured in accidents at work, particularly through our work with trade unions. While we encourage everyone to join a trade union (because you get access to our specialist legal teams for free), we can still represent you even if you are not a union member.

Top Frequently Asked Questions:

• Is There a Time Limit?
• Common Injuries

Our team can help you make a claim for compensation on a no win, no fee basis, so you won’t pay if your farm accident claim is unsuccessful, but we take a percentage deduction if it is.

Farm injury claims can be made if you have been injured in a farming accident, often as a result of unsafe working conditions or an employer’s negligence. Farm injuries can involve machinery accidents, livestock-related incidents, falls from height, vehicle accidents and exposure to hazardous substances, and can result in serious or life-changing injuries.

Can I make a farm injury compensation claim?

Employers have a duty of care to their employees. If you are a farm worker and your employer fails to protect you at work, then they could be liable if you are injured. The duty of care applies to anyone working, even those on a temporary basis or a zero-hours contract.

For example, if your employer has provided you with inadequate training, insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) or defective machinery, and you have sustained an injury as a result, you could make a claim.

If you are not sure if you can claim for your farming injury, contact us to discuss the details of your case to get advice.
