Military Injury Claims

Those are just a few examples of the types of injuries or accidents that it may be possible to claim for. You should also be able to claim personal injury compensation if you have been the victim of discrimination, bullying, harassment or a criminal injury. A criminal injury, such as an assault, can be claimed for from CICA, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, if the incident happened within the UK, otherwise you will have to claim from the MoD’s Criminal Injuries Compensation (Overseas) Scheme.

Start the Military Injury Claim process

Whatever your injury, whether physical or emotional, if it was sustained through someone else’s negligence and you suffered pain and distress as a result, you should have a case for personal injury compensation. This compensation will compensate you for your injury, pain and distress, and will also pay for any financial losses that you have incurred, such as expenses and lost earnings, as well as future financial losses which you may incur if you have had to give up your job, change careers, adapt your home or if you need ongoing medical treatment or care. A specialist personal injury lawyer will be able to advise you on your particular case and should be able to work on a no win no fee basis (also called a conditional agreement) to help you build your case. It may not be the MoD that you need to claim from, it may be a military equipment manufacturer or a military hospital but don’t worry, your solicitor will be able to sort everything out for you and take the stress away from you.

If your loved one has suffered a fatal accident while in military service, or as a civilian connected to the MoD, you should be able to claim compensation for your loss and for the dependants. Obviously compensation cannot in any way make up for such an awful tragedy but it can help you start to rebuild your life and care for any children or other dependants. Talk to a solicitor as soon as possible after the accident.
