Armed Forces Injury Claims
Although the majority of those serving in the Army, Navy or Air-force do not suffer any injuries, their role in the armed forces means there is always the chance of injury occurring, and claims can be filed in that event.
Regardless of whether you are engaged in direct combat, if you serve or have served in the armed forces and have suffered from an injury, you may be entitled to make an armed forces compensation claim. One of our legal experts will be able to discuss your potential compensation claim and come to a decision whether the claim should be proceeded with.
Armed forces injury compensation claims are likely to arise from the fact the Ministry of Defence is responsible for ensuring that any potential risks are minimised, wherever possible. This risk mitigation may relate to ensuring that adequate training is provided, the maintenance of adequate equipment and the correct psychological and physical care during service. Similarly to other employers, the Ministry of Defence may become responsible in the event that you suffer an injury at work that could potentially have been avoided.
Personal Injury Claims in the Navy, Army, & RAF
Given the nature of the armed forces and the numerous roles covered, it is difficult to provide a definitive list of the causes of personal injury that leads to claims against the armed forces. However, some common examples include:

- equipment failure
- accidents on the road
