Successful no win, no fee compensation claim for an agricultural accident

If you've been injured in an agricultural accident and are considering making a no win, no fee compensation claim, then YouClaim may be able to help you secure compensation and, best of all, we won't charge you a single penny for our services.

We believe that every worker should be provided with the correct clothing and equipment to carry out their job and if this hasn't been given, then you could be eligible to make a no win, no fee compensation claim for a farming accident.

A no win, no fee case study
In November 2005 we received a telephone call from a 26-year-old man who sustained serious personal injuries whilst working on a farm near Bristol. He had been working at the farm for three months and had no previous experience in the industry. As far as he was concerned, he had received all the training needed for his job and was not at risk from having to make a no win, no fee compensation claim.

However, from previous experience in different employments, the man felt that he should be supplied with toe-capped boots to avoid sustaining a foot injury. He asked his employer but was told that he wouldn't need them as he wasn't working with machinery and that it would be fine to carry on wearing trainers.

On the day of the work accident, the man was attending to cows in a field when the cattle began to close in on him. He felt a little concerned and tried to move past the animals but found it very difficult to push past them because of their great size and weight. Suddenly, a cow stepped on his foot and no matter how much he tried to push it off, it just wouldn't move. He called out to another worker on the farm who rushed over and managed to scare some of the cows away. The injured man put his arm over his work colleague's shoulders and he slowly limped to an area that was safe.

When making his no win, no fee compensation claim he stated that he was taken to hospital where an X-ray showed that many of the bones in his right foot had been crushed by the cow. His foot was put in a cast and doctors told him to stay at home for at least eight weeks to recover from the agricultural accident at work. Whilst at home he saw an advert on TV discussing personal injury compensation claims, he then decided to look on the internet for a company specialising in farming accidents and found our website.

We assured him that making a claim with us wouldn't cost a single penny and that he would receive 100% of the damages if his no win, no fee compensation claim was successful. He felt confident that we would be able to help and his case was put forward to a member from our panel of personal injury solicitors. They arranged for the man to visit an independent medical expert to confirm the severity of his work injuries and the man's solicitor handled every aspect of the claim from start to finish.

Our customer's solicitor contacted the farmer and put forward the man's accident claim; the farmer initially refused to accept liability for the accident but faced with the prospect of going to court admitted that he failed to provide toe-capped boots for the man. He paid the full sum of compensation as demanded by our solicitors and the farm worker was awarded £6,400 for his no win, no fee compensation claim . This included £5,200 for the foot injury and £1,200 for loss of earnings.

The man said that he was extremely happy with the service that we provided and that his mind was at rest knowing that he could pay the bills after spending so much time at home recovering from the accident at work. And best of all, he didn't pay anything to make a no win, no fee compensation claims and we, nor his personal injury solicitor, took a cut of the damages awarded.
