Injured in a Farm Accident? We Can Help
Farm work involves many risks, and accidents can have lasting effects. Our solicitors provide clear, practical advice and help you understand your legal options.
Trusted Legal Support for Farm Accident Injury Claims
Farms can be hazardous workplaces, with heavy machinery, vehicles, livestock, and chemicals all presenting potential dangers. At HOMS Assist, we help clients who have suffered injuries in agricultural settings understand their rights and navigate the Personal Injuries Resolution Board (PIRB) process. Our team handles the legal details so you can focus on recovery, knowing your case is being managed with care and professionalism.
What Is a Farm Accident Claim?
A farm accident claim arises when a person is injured due to unsafe conditions or negligence on a farm. Those responsible may include farm owners, employers, equipment manufacturers, or contractors who failed to maintain a safe environment.
Common causes of farm injuries include:
- Faulty or poorly maintained machinery or vehicles.
- Accidents involving livestock.
- Falls from height, slips, or trips on uneven ground.
- Exposure to hazardous chemicals or substances.
- Inadequate safety training or supervision.
Farm owners and employers have a legal duty of care to maintain safe working environments and to ensure machinery and equipment are properly maintained. Where that duty is breached, an injured person may be entitled to seek compensation for their injuries and related losses.
