Farm Accidents Workers Compensation Claim
Work-related injuries and fatalities on Australian farms are a common cause of workers compensation claim in Western Australia. If you are injured on the farm during your employment, you may be entitled to a workers compensation claim for your farm accident.
In Western Australia, you are entitled to workers compensation claim regardless you residency and permanency of your employment status. This means employees, casual workers, seasonal helpers, backpackers, or foreign workers on a visa are entitled to claim compensation if you are injured in a farm accident and meet the definition of “worker”. Claims by contractors are generally limited to contracts where a person has contracted with the person providing work and the work is not work in the course of or incidental to a trade or business regularly carried on by the individual in the individual’s own name or under a business or firm name, the contract is not sublet and if a person employs a worker, the person performs part of the work personally.
Farm Accidents Negligence Claims
A person can pursue a negligence claim for a farm accident against their employer if they have a whole person impairment of not less than 15%.
Sometimes, there are other ways to claim compensation. For instance:
- Nervous Shock Claim – You drive home from a farm after work. You then witness a fatal farm accident, they stop to help and suffer PTSD from witnessing a fatal farm accident while you are not working.
- Motor Injury Claim – If you are driving a tractor and then a car collides with the tractor, you may have a motor vehicle accident injury claim if the driver of the car was negligent.
- Workers Comp & Third-Party Claim – A contractor comes to a farm to change the barbed wire fence. They leave some fencing on the ground. Dust blows over the fencing so it cannot be seen. You trip over the fencing in the course of your employment. You would have a workers compensation claim as well as a negligence claim against the contractor as the contractor failed to take reasonable care in putting away the fencing.
- Workers Comp & Public liability claim: A storekeeper drops some nails on the floor at the local shop and fails to clean them up. You attend the local store to buy some farming supplies and fall over on the nails. You would have a workers compensation claim and a claim against the storekeeper in negligence.
Death on the Farm Dependency Claim
Agricultural accident claims also cover death on the farm while working. Dependents of fatally injured workers and fatally injured bystander during a farm accident may be entitled to pursue a fatal injury dependency claim.

Farm Accidents Negligence Claims
If you are not working on the farm and suffered injuries on the farm as a bystander, you may also claim farm accident compensation if you can prove that the negligence of others caused your injuries, illnesses, incapacity, or death. Examples of negligence on the farm depending on the circumstances may include:
- A person is fixing farm equipment. A contractor does not check to see whether this is complete. He turns on the farm equipment resulting in personal injury. The claim would be against the contractor.
- A worker is driving a tractor at a farm. Another worker is fixing a backhoe. The tractor driver reverses into the worker fixing the backhoe crushing him between the backhoe and the tractor.
- A farmer hires a labour hire worker to milk his cows. He doesnt tell the worker that the barn roof was badly damaged by a storm. The barn roof collapses on the worker.
- A farmer did not close a gate. Cattle get out onto a highway. A cow walks out from behind a bush, a driver cannot stop and hits the cow.

Farm Accidents Workers Compensation Claims
The common causes of work-related injuries on farms are:
- Body stress – such as muscle injuries, bone injuries or ligament injuries from lifting, or handling power tools, animal or mobile plants. Back injury, hand, fingers & thumb injuries, head injuries, knee injuries, and shoulder injuries are the most common type of injuries due to the body stress.
- Hit by a moving object – For example farmer accidentally shoots a worker in the leg
- Falls – Falls can be as simple as tripping over a pot when walking through a storage shed.
- Hit by an animal – Such as shearing a sheep when the sheep kicks the worker in the arm resulting in a broken arm.
- Motor Vehicle Accident – such as tractor accident (where the tractor is a registered motor vehicle), car accidents, utes accidents, truck accidents, quad bike accidents (where the quad bike is a registered motor vehicle), and motorcycle accident.
- Other causes may involve chemicals, heat, radiation, electricity, sound and mental stress.

Please note that you are injured in a motor vehicle accident while at work, you may be entitled to both motor vehicle accident injury claim and workers compensation claim. Foyle Legal farm accident compensation lawyers can help you with both injury claims.

Death on the Farm Dependency Claims
Over 40% of farm workers fatalities are caused by vehicle accidents, such as rollover accidents, car accidents, tractor accidents, aircraft accident, utes accident, car accident, motorbike accidents, quad bike accidents.
The remaining common causes of death of workers in the agriculture industry include falls, hit or bitten by animals, and electrocution.
The law in Western Australia states that the dependents of fatally injured workers may claim compensation through Workcover and potentially make a common law claim. This applies to all dependents of farm workers (as defined by the workers’ compensation legislation), even they live outside of Australia, or live outside of Western Australia.
If you have made a workers compensation dependency claim and live outside of Australia, workplace injury lawyers at Foyle Legal can help you to manage the dependency claim from Western Australia.
