Military Claims

Frequently asked questions
We address the most commonly asked questions about personal injury claims and compensation. Whether you've been injured in a car accident, workplace incident, or any other unfortunate situation, this video playlist is here to provide you with the essential information you need.
-
Compensation depends on the circumstances of the case. It is intended to provide financial support to the injured person, covering a range of losses and expenses, including:
Loss of earnings
Medical and treatment expenses
Rehabilitation costs
Travel expenses related to medical treatment
Compensation for pain and suffering
A specialist solicitor can help you understand the potential value of your claim and negotiate the best possible settlement on your behalf.
-
The length of time it takes to process a military injury claim can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case and the other parties involved. In some cases, a claim may be settled relatively quickly, while in others it can range from months to years to reach a resolution.
An experienced solicitor can provide you with the estimated duration of your case, while also keeping you informed throughout the process.
-
You may be able to make a claim if you were injured during training exercises, as long as the injury was caused by the negligence or fault of another party. This could include defective equipment, inadequate training or supervision, or other preventable factors.
-
If you have already received compensation through an Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) claim, it may still be possible for you to make a military injury claim if you believe that you are entitled to additional compensation. However, it’s important to be aware that there are some limitations and restrictions that may apply in these situations.
A specialised solicitor can determine whether you have a valid claim and assess the circumstances of your case to advise you on the best course of action.
-
The cost of making a military injury claim varies depending on the specific circumstances of the case and the solicitor you choose to work with. At Nash & Co, we offer a ‘no win, no fee’ arrangement, meaning you only need to pay legal fees if we win your case, and we won’t ask for any money upfront.
-
You can still make a military injury claim if you are no longer serving in the military, as long as the injury was caused by the negligence or fault of another party and you are within the three year time limit. It's important to note that there may be additional factors when making a military injury claim as a veteran, such as the length of time that has passed since the injury occurred.
If you are a veteran who has been injured during military service, it's important to speak with an experienced solicitor, who can assess the circumstances of your case and advise you on whether you have a strong case for compensation.
