Our specialist military claims department includes leading national experts with many years’ experience of handling complex cases, who are able to offer help and advice without any obligation. From sustaining physical injuries or suffering psychological trauma to wider problems such as pension entitlement, priority treatment and military covenant issues, our personal injury specialists here to help you.

We understand that the circumstances of your experience will be personal to you, and we are dedicated to sensitively but vigorously pursuing compensation on behalf of all victims who suffer injuries through no fault of their own.

Under current UK law, military personnel who sustain injury during service can receive compensation if the MoD has failed in its legal duty of care or health and safety responsibilities.

Our Military Claims experts will offer help and advice on how to claim compensation if you have been affected by:

• Injury whilst on operations or during training exercise
• Psychological trauma
• Fatalities
• Road traffic accidents involving military vehicles or personnel
• Injury caused by the use of defective equipment
• Disease and illness contracted by military personnel
• Medical negligence such as failure to diagnose illness or delays in the provision of treatment
• Injury resulting from failure to downgrade or from a failure to take account of special circumstances
• Pension entitlement for personnel or their family
• Priority treatment
• Military covenant issues

The Military Claims team understands that a career in the armed forces is more than just a job; it is a way of life for both you and your family. Being affected by an injury can have a devastating impact on not just the individual, but also on their loved ones.

Compensation can be a lifeline for those affected by serious injury or trauma. Whether to provide medical care or psychological treatment, to help replace lost income, or to meet any other special needs unique to your case, our dedicated experts are here to pursue compensation on behalf of both you and your family.

Working with a number of national charities and medical specialists we will guide you through every step of making a claim for compensation – maximising your compensation and ensuring the process is as quick, simple and problem-free as possible.
