If you are still serving in the British Armed Forces or are a veteran, you could make a claim for compensation if you have been injured in the course of your military career.
The MOD have a duty to take reasonable steps to make sure that all Armed Forces personnel are safe whilst in training, and on operational duties. If you’ve been involved in an accident in the course of your duties you could claim compensation.
You could also make a claim if your Chain of Command or Forces Medical Officers fail to manage any physical or psychiatric injuries you sustain in service, leading to an aggravation of a pre-existing injury. If the Chain of Command or Medical Officers have not managed you to a reasonable standard, you may be entitled to make a claim.

FAQs about Military Injury Claims
There is a time limit for making a personal injury claim. This is usually 3 years from the date of accident or injury, or 3 years from when you first became aware of your condition. This is called the date of knowledge.
In all cases, because of arguments on time limits, it’s important to get specialist legal advice as early as possible.
Witness evidence is crucial in military accident and injury claims, so it’s important to get this evidence as soon as possible whilst witnesses have a clear memory of the accident or event.
You’ll get a free initial consultation about your situation and if we can we’ll take on your case on a No Win, No Fee basis.
If the MOD admit partial or full responsibility for the accident, we can ask for an Interim Payment to be made. This could help you with any financial pressures or to pay for any medical care you may need now.
Any Interim Payment will be deducted from your final compensation payment.
