Military Accident Claims

Specialist Military Accident Solicitors

Legally, the courts treat the Ministry of Defence (MOD) like any other employer, meaning if you sustain an injury while serving, it will be investigated just as any workplace accident would be. 

It is important to note that strict time limits apply to accident claims. Although courts have the discretion to extend these limits, such extensions are rarely granted. Practically, this means you must initiate legal action within three years from the date of the accident, or you may risk losing your right to claim.

Injuries in the military can occur under various circumstances, but we often find that most cases stem from a few common causes:

Inadequate or completely absent training

Use of faulty or missing equipment 

Horseplay or fooling around 

Insufficient supervision 

Cutting corners or rushing tasks

Given the demanding nature of military duties, even minor injuries can severely impact a career that demands optimal physical and mental performance consistently.
