Ministry of Defence employees have the same employment rights as employees in any other type of workplace.

As with any other workplace, if your employer's negligence causes you an injury, you could be entitled to make a claim against that employer.

It is important to note however, that Military claims do not apply to members of the armed forces who were injured before May 1987. The reason for this is that the Crown Proceedings Act was in force at this time, and this prevents compensation claims being made against the Ministry of Defence.

It is common for armed forces personnel to not wish to make a claim at all against the MOD. This is a natural reaction. However over the past 20 years, claims have been made against the MOD, from personnel being injured in Camp, on exercise or in an operational theatre.

We at Accidenthelp4u can help.

Because MOD employees are subject to very dangerous environments, the duty to have strict guidelines in place, and the duty to risk assess is all the more greater.

Injuries can be physical, and also psychological. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is also often seen following a military conflict, and can manifest itself in a number of ways.

Injuries picked up in operational theatres can be actionable, but an injury in combat is unlikely to be actionable.

We would however be happy to look at any potential claim, completely free of charge and obligation.

So fill out our no obligation on line form, and we will be happy to give you a call and have a chat.
