How We Can Help

It is vital to pinpoint the party which is responsible for the accident’s occurrence. The responsibility can fall under either:

‘Employer’s liability’
‘Occupier’s Liability’

Employer’s Liability:

Employer’s liability requires an employer and employee relationship to exist, and it puts an obligation on the employer to create a safe working environment for employees, as they are legally responsible for your safety and welfare.

Occupier’s Liability:

This places the landowner under an obligation to provide a safe environment for all legal visitors. They are legally responsible for your safety and welfare.

FAQs

Losing a loved one to a farm accident is extremely difficult to come to terms with. It is a common question whether a family member can still pursue a claim for compensation on behalf of the deceased.

The estate of the deceased is entitled to take a claim in relation to an accident if a claim can be established on the facts. Any compensation will be paid into the estate and will be divided as part of the probate process to any beneficiaries under a will or the rules of intestacy. There may also be circumstances where a dependent relative can make a claim as well.
