Farm Accident Compensation Explained
Farms are busy, tough places to work. From tractors to animals, there’s always risk. Sadly, farm accidents can be very serious. If you’ve been hurt while working on a farm, you may be able to claim farm accident compensation.
At Claims 24 Hours, we make the process simple, safe, and stress-free. With our No Win No Fee promise, you won’t pay a penny unless your claim is successful.
Why Farm Accidents Happen
Farming is one of the most dangerous jobs in the UK. Accidents happen when:
- Machinery is unsafe or not maintained properly
- Workers don’t get enough training
- Safety rules are ignored
- Animals aren’t handled or secured correctly
- Slips, trips, and falls happen around the farmyard
- Protective gear (like helmets or gloves) is missing
If your employer didn’t keep you safe, you could be entitled to compensation.
Common Types of Farm Accidents
Farm injuries can be life-changing. Some common examples include:
- Machinery accidents — tractors, balers, conveyors, or harvesters, causing crush injuries or amputations
- Animal-related injuries — kicks, bites, or crush accidents from cattle, horses, or pigs
- Falls from height — accidents on ladders, barns, or hay bales
- Chemical accidents — pesticides, fertilizers, or farm chemicals causing burns or illness
- Vehicle accidents — quad bike, tractor, or trailer accidents on the farm
- Slips and trips — mud, uneven ground, or poor lighting, leading to broken bones
Who Can Claim Farm Accident Compensation?
You may claim if you are:
- A full-time or part-time farm worker
- A seasonal or agency worker
- A contractor or self-employed farmer injured by faulty machinery or unsafe conditions
- A family member helping on the farm who was hurt due to negligence
Even if you think you were partly at fault, you may still be able to claim.
