What farm accidents can I claim compensation for?

Due to the seasonality of the industry, many farms use temporary staff, which can lead to a lower level of training and a lapse in health and safety. Many types of farm accidents can cause injury to workers in the agriculture industry, which include, but are not limited to:

Accidents involving farm machinery, such as tractors, combine harvesters or forklift trucks.
Accidents with animals and dangerous livestock.
Injury caused by falling from a height on a farm or by falling objects on agricultural sites.
Farm vehicle accidents, e.g., collisions.
Accidents involving heavy farm equipment, such as slurry storage units and silos.
Fatal farm accidents.
Injury caused by hazardous substances.
Accidents caused by a lack of safety equipment or by inadequate training.
Serious head injuries.
Serious spinal injury caused by farm accidents.
Slips and trips on farms and farmland.

It is not only employees who may sustain injury and are entitled to make a claim. Visitors to a farm who sustain injuries or those who live or travel along the perimeter of a farm may also be able to make a claim if they are injured in an accident that was not their fault.
