Farm Accidents and Illnesses

With around 1,500 people in the UK getting injured every year whilst performing agricultural duties, farm accident compensation claims are becoming increasingly common. A farm is an unpredictable and potentially very dangerous environment. Farms workers may have to deal with large, strong and temperamental animals as well as working with heavy duty dangerous machinery and tools. Exposure to chemicals which have the potential to damage health is also common. Many visitors to farms also face exposure to similar risks.

Farm injury and illness can be caused by:

  • Dangerous animals
  • Vibrating tools
  • Accidents involving farm vehicles
  • Accidents involving farm machinery
  • Falling from a height or being hit or crushed by falling objects
  • Accidents involving slurry pits, stores or silos
  • Exposure to hazardous substances such as chemicals and pesticides
  • Exposure to high levels of noise or frequent noise from tools and machinery causing industrial deafness
  • Exposure to asbestos (sometimes found in the walls and roofs of some older farm buildings)
  • Dust exposure causing to "Farmer's Lung"
  • Inhaling toxic fumes
  • Allergies caused by exposure to contaminants
  • Accidents caused by inadequate training, improper use of dangerous machinery or the lack of proper safety equipment
