Military Injury Multi Party Compensation Claim Advice
If you are unfortunate enough to suffer an accident or injury during your time serving in the military, you may be able make a personal injury claim for compensation.
In some personal injury compensation cases, many people have all been injured due to very similar circumstances. For example, many military personnel all developed Gulf War Syndrome from the same or similar circumstances.
In cases like this, the Court may set a deadline for all injured parties to come forward with their personal injury compensation claim against the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the group of personal injury compensation claims are dealt with at the same time as a Multi Party Action.
It is; therefore, very important to seek legal advice as soon as you realise that you have been harmed by the negligence of another party. If you do unfortunately, miss the deadline set by the Court, it may still be possible to make your personal injury compensation claim although this will be more difficult.
If you have suffered an injury as a member of the Armed Forces and would like to find out if you have a valid claim for compensation, contact us on 08000 224 224.

Every personal injury compensation claim is very different and while some are settled within a matter of months, others can take years. Most cases are settled out of Court; however, some will need to progress this far.

If your accident was before 6th April 2005, you may also be entitled to make a compensation claim for a War Pension payment. Whilst eligibility to claim under the War Pension system only comes into effect upon discharge, claims under the Armed Forces Compensation scheme can be made during service and therefore you should not wait until you leave the Armed Forces to start your claim, you should act immediately. Under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme there is a 5 year time limit so it is important to act quickly as soon as an accident happens.
