Man injured by crazed cow awarded £60,000

A pet shop owner who was catapulted five feet in the air by a crazed cow has been awarded £60,000 compensation for employer's liability.

A 48 year old man, was working as a dairy farmer at Manor Farm in Dorset back in 2004 when the attack by the animal happened.

"It was absolutely terrifying and I will never go near cows again for the rest of my life," he said.

The ex-dairy farmer was attacked by a cow which was distressed because her calf had been taken away by farm workers moments after birth.

"She was agitated about her calf and I was an easy target," he said.

Mr Clemens lost three years of earnings and had hip and shoulder surgery, regaining only 80% mobility following the attack.

He described the compensation process as a difficult route but said he was satisfied with his compensation pay out.
"It's a fair settlement but I'm on painkillers for the rest of my life," he said.
