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. For free initial advice about your potential personal injury claim 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.
