Accidents at Work

Agriculture

According to the Health & Safety Executive agriculture has one of the worst fatal accident and occupational ill health records of any major employment section. The HSE definition of agriculture includes horticulture, forestry, arboriculture and fish farming.

A substantial proportion of those working in agriculture are self employed.  There is a myth that the self employed are unable to claim compensation if they are injured.  We can provide expert guidance as to the best way forward if you are self employed.

People working in agriculture suffer from injury through a wide variety of different ways.  Common causes of accidents include manual handling injuries, slipping or tripping, being struck for instance by bales or trees, falling from height, contract with electricity, being struck by a moving vehicle or being injured by an animal.

Our expertise in representing people injured in the workplace will help guide you through areas of law which can be technical and complicated.  We aim to take the stress out of your claim.
