I was injured using farm/agricultural machinery. Can I make a compensation claim?

This includes ensuring that any farm machinery and equipment is maintained correctly and is in good condition, including regularly inspecting all machinery to ensure it’s in good working order and quickly repairing any machinery that isn’t working correctly.
