Farm Accident Compensation Claims

Agricultural work such as farming has an exceptionally high accident at work rate. Farms are very dangerous work places due to the amount of machinery and large animals needed for the job. Farmers are also under more pressure than a lot of other industries to work in every type of weather as they have to ensure that crops and livestock are looked after. Sometimes this pressure to ensure the work is done may result in less stringent health and safety policies being implemented.

Types of accidents at work which can happen on farms include:

• Injury caused by working with the animals due to their size and force
• Injury caused by farm vehicles such as tractors
• Injury caused by farm machinery
• Falling from a height
• Chemical exposure
• Accidents caused by lack of training

The accidents which can happen on farms can be some of the most severe types of accidents at work. Injuries include severed arms and legs from being caught in/under farm machinery, broken bones, head injuries and death.

People who have been involved in this type of accident at work may be worried about making a claim against their employer especially if it is a small family run business. However, it must be remembered that if a compensation claim is made against the employer, this will help to protect future employees from having similar accidents at work as health and safety in the work place and training will be increased.
