Legal advice for farmers: You may be entitled to claim if accident wasn’t your fault

To bring a personal injury claim, consult a solicitor quickly, so that a letter of claim can be sent to the defendant or their insurer within one month of the accident.

When bringing a personal injury claim before the courts, the plaintiff has to establish the defendant was negligent, or that legal liability rests with the defendant.

A judge can make a costs order against the unsuccessful plaintiff, in any case, which is an order that the plaintiff has to pay the defendant’s costs.
