Been injured whilst serving in the Armed Forces?  We can help you make a military compensation claim.

“Every man thinks meanly of himself for not having been a soldier,” said Samuel Johnson in 1778, and there is no doubt that a career in the military has many advantages to offer.  The opportunities to travel, learn a trade and make friends for life are numerous.

But of course there’s also an enormous element of danger associated with a military life, and the chances of being killed or receiving a serious personal injuryin a combat zone while serving your country are very real.

An employer’s responsibility to protect you
Like any employer in Civvy Street, the Ministry of Defence has a duty to care for, and properly protect as much as is reasonably possible, the health and welfare of its employees, ie its soldiers, sailors and airmen.

In recent years there have been many compensation claims from members of the Armed Forces who were not adequately safeguarded while performing their duties.  In fact, in 2001 the MOD was forced to pay out £97million as a result of personal injury claims against it. 

Personal injury claims that have recently been filed include:

• An Army lance-coroporal whose hand had to be amputated after being crushed by a Warrior vehicle

• An RAF skydiver who was forced to have a leg amputated and was left paralysed after a public display ended in catastrophe

• A naval cadet who broke his leg and was seriously injured after being ordered to jump into a canoe

Do you want to make a personal injury claim?
All of the above individuals were able to make a personal injury claim because their employer (the MOD) failed to properly ensure their health and welfare.  If you feel that you too have suffered as a result of negligence whilst serving in the Armed Forces, you could be entitled to make a personal injury claim for compensation.
