Abstract:
Interviews were carried out on 23 cases of agricultural accidents to consider the influence on their life.
Physical damage due to agricultural accidents brought various influences: directly hindrance of farming activity, increase of their family members' work load, changes or cut-down of their longterm farming plans, decrease of income through agricultural management or extra-agricultural labour.
And the grade of seriouseness of the damage was related not only to the grade of physical damage but the sufferes' financial status.
Most of the sufferers did not know that the national workmen's compensation insurance had special application for the farmers.
And each of them effected one or several nongovernmental insurances and the amount of insurance money was corresponding to their financial status.
So, it seems that the matter would be more serious, if the accidents occured to the farmers belonging to the financially lower class.
Therefore, some appropriate insurance system is in need to prevest sufferers' economical fall. And most subjects themselves eagerly required such a insurance system.
