Common Military Training Accidents UK
Over the past 20 years our solicitors have spoken with hundreds, if not thousands of clients who have been injured during military training. During this time, we have advised service men and women on a wide range of different military training accident types.
Some of the most common training accidents we have advised on include:
- Physical fitness training accidents, including obstacle and SAQ training accidents
- Serious injuries resulting from parachute jump training accidents
- Abseiling and mountaineering accidents, leading to serious neck, back and hand injuries
- Non freezing cold injuries as a result of insufficient PPE
- Injuries caused by faulty combat equipment
- Hearing loss, deafness and tinnitus injuries caused by prolonged exposure to noise without sufficient PPE
- Our team also has experience in representing bereaved families in fatal training accidents
Time limits for making a successful claim
As with all claims for personal injury in England & Wales, there are strict time limits in place when starting a military related training accident claim.
The law states that someone has 3 years from the date of an accident, a diagnosis or from the date they first realised their injury was caused by their work to start a claim.
We recommend contacting us as soon as possible to ensure your claim does not fall outside of this strict claim period.
Call us now on 01507 609027.
Compensation Claim Amounts
Every claim is different and the amount of compensation you may expect to receive depends on several factors including the type of accident you have been involved in, the severity of your injuries, whether you have been discharged from service and if you have suffered a financial loss as a result of your injury.
Our team of specialist solicitors have helped military clients across England & Wales claim significant sums of compensation for military training accidents.

- We represented a member of the RAF claim over £100,000 for his serious arm injury, sustained during training
