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 0203 816 0065.
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:
