Important advice about
Farm Accident Compensation
Farms are places of work just like any other but unfortunately the entire agricultural sector has a poor health and safety record, leading to many necessary claims for farm accident compensation.
Figures published by the Health and Safety Authority of Ireland show that one third of all those killed in work-related accidents are in the agricultural industry. In addition, the age profile of those killed is an added concern, as both old and young are particularly vulnerable to death and injury on Irish farms.
How much farm accident compensation could I receive?
If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident you should immediately talk to an experienced solicitor to discuss you potential farm accident compensation claim. The amount of farm accident compensation you could receive will depend on a number of different factors including:
- the amount and level of pain you experience,
- the length of time you experience your pain for,
- what the pain prevents you from doing such as work, and personal matters,
- you can also claim for your losses and expenses, including of course damage to your vehicle, if you were involved in a car crash.
A vital component of any farm accident compensation claim is the medical history and prognosis. For example, if you require repeated visits to a doctor and multiple refills for pain medication prescriptions, you will receive higher compensation than a victim who requires minimal treatment, or just some simple pain relief. Also, some injuries, may take a number of months or even years to manifest themselves. A scarring injury, for example, may take a considerable amount of time to heal.
The Role of Your Solicitor
The role of your solicitor is to ensure that the compensation award accurately reflects the personal loss, injury and damage, that you have sustained as a result of your farm accident. In order to do so, he or she will take the greatest care to construct the strongest possible case on your behalf.
Your solicitor will rely on medical evidence from your doctor including any medical records, (including showing your attendances at hospital) and in some cases, reports from specialist consultants that your solicitor may request.
