Farming is statistically the most dangerous industry to work in according to the Health and Safety Executive, accounting for 21 fatalities in 2019/20.

The most common causes of agricultural accidents include:

• Being struck by a moving vehicle.
• Falling from height.
• Being struck by an object.
• Being injured or even killed by an animal.
• Being injured due to faulty or malfunctioning machinery.
• Injuries caused by accidents involving grain silos and slurry pits.

You might be eligible to make a claim if you have been involved in a farm accident not only if you are an employee or a contractor, but also if you’re a member of the public who was injured whilst visiting the farm.
