How can we help?
If you are employed by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Navy or The Army and you have been injured or involved in an accident in the course of duty, you may be entitled to compensation from your employer. Many of those who have been injured whilst working for the military may believe that they cannot claim compensation against their employer in the same way a non-military worker may be able to. This is not the case and here at Stephensons we are happy to represent you when making a claim for compensation in these circumstances. Call us on 01616 966 229.
If you currently work, or used to work, in a military profession - you should not assume that injuries sustained whilst serving are simply a result of the nature of the work you do. If someone was at fault for your injury, you are entitled to compensation. Injuries include both psychological and physiological damage and compensation for psychological trauma is more frequent than you may realise. You are entitled to make a claim whilst you are still serving in the military and your employer is not allowed to prejudice how they assess your career as a result.
The term 'military injury' does not exclusively refer to injuries such as lost limbs, which many people may envision. Unfortunately, severe physical injuries such as the loss of one or more limbs is common when serving in the military. However, injuries do not refer only to physical injuries - this can also be in reference to illnesses, both psychological and physical. In addition to this, military ‘injuries’ can include many other definitions of physical, mental or emotional harm. Examples of military injuries can include, but are not limited to:

By coming to Stephensons not only do you have access to our personal injury department, if it is relevant you can also receive specialist assistance from our clinical negligence department. Not all solicitors can offer this as medical negligence is a specialist area of expertise in its own right. In past cases our personal injury and clinical negligence departments have gained substantial settlements.
Compensation for injury claims are capped in terms of time limits for making a claim, so if you think you have incurred an injury that was not your fault it is important that you call us today. Call Stephensons on 01616 966 229.

Members of the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force (RAF) could be entitled to compensation if they are injured during their training in an accident which was not their fault. To discuss your potential compensation claim call us on 0161 696 6235.
Military professionals are entitled to compensation from their employer if they suffer injury or trauma through the negligence or malpractice of another in the same way that any professional could. But despite what many might think most military injury claims concern training accidents and accidents which take place during manoeuvres, rather than on the battlefield.
The armed forces rely upon a number of stringent procedures to minimise accident and injury, but when these procedures are ignored or incorrectly followed, accidents can happen and the victim could have grounds for a military injury claim.
Our solicitors offer years of combined experience in military injury claims, including armed forces training accidents. No two cases are the same but at Stephensons we recognise that no two clients are the same. Our bespoke legal services treat every armed forces training accident claim with the attention and sensitivity it requires.
