    Military Accident Claim Solicitors

    The solicitors at Nigel Askew are experts in military accident claims and have many years experience in advising members of the Armed Forces in relation to injury claims. Contact our solicitors today by calling 01507 609027.

    Whether you are a current serving member of the Armed Forces or you have been discharged, if you have been injured during the course of a training exercise within the past 3 years, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

    We offer all military clients an initial phone consultation, during which we will discuss your personal accident circumstances and listen to everything you want to tell us about your accident and the injuries you have suffered.  Our experts will ask you questions about how the accident has changed your life and whether you have suffered any financial loss.

    We run all military accident claims using No Win No Fee agreements so contact us today to see if you can claim by calling 01507 609027.

    Injured on training exercises

    If you have been seriously injured in a military training exercise which was not your fault, the solicitors at Nigel Askew can advise you regarding a potential claim.

    Accidents and injuries caused by training accidents can have devastating long term effects and many can lead to medical discharge. If you have been medically discharged due to a non-fault accident or injury then please call us today, we are available now.

    Like all employers, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has a duty to protect its employees, for example by providing them with safe and appropriate equipment and by providing appropriate training in how to correctly use equipment. If you are provided with equipment, it needs to be maintained to high standards and should be in sound working order.

    Training accidents are often preventable

    Unlike many civilian jobs, members of the Armed Forces are required to keep in peak condition, both physically and mentally, so regular training is vital, however training exercises often go wrong. Sometimes accidents do happen but in many cases, accidents are caused by bad and negligent decisions by commanding officers or faulty equipment.

    The MoD must adhere to strict Health and Safety regulations just as any other employer in the private sector are required to. The solicitors at Nigel Askew have advised many clients on military accident claims for compensation as a result of negligence in a training environment and are available to speak with you today. Contact us by calling 01507 609027 for a free assessment of your potential claim.

    Common military training accidents

    We have many years experience in advising military personnel on claims for compensation, some of the most common accidents we have advised on include:

    • Non-freezing cold injuries
    • Physical fitness training, including obstacle and SAQ training accidents
    • Parachute jump training
    • Injuries sustained when playing sports
    • Injuries caused by faulty combat equipment
    • Fatal training accidents

    Limitation for military injury compensation claims

    As with all claims for personal injury, there are strict time limits in place which may prevent some soldiers claiming the compensation that they are entitled to. If you or a loved one has been injured in a training accident, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to discuss a potential claim. We offer all clients a free and no obligation initial consultation and regularly attend clients personally at their homes or if they are still serving, a location close to their barracks.
