Military Accident and Armed Forces Compensation

Claim Squad can assist you if you are injured during your time in the Military services. This usually does not apply when in combat unless equipment was not supplied or was not fit for purpose. You are entitled to Compensation just as you would be with any other employer. The Ministry of Defence has a duty of care towards you which means they should provide adequate training and a suitable working enviroment. We have a number of Specialist Solicitors which solely deal in Armed Forces Compensation Claims and injuries.

Because of the dangerous materials used and situations military personnel are placed in, the risk of injury is higher and the seriousness of the injury can be considerably greater. Your career, your livelihood, your home and family’s support infrastructure can be disastrously affected in these cases.

You do not have to leave the Armed Forces before you can claim. Even if the accident was abroad, if the claim is against the Ministry of Defence, it can be brought before the English Courts. Military personnel can also claim under the Criminal Injuries Compensation (overseas) Scheme. This compensates personnel when they have been victims of violence whilst posted overseas.

When the injured party is not mentally capable of dealing with their own legal matters then the usual 3 year rule may not apply.
