Can I Make an Armed Forces Injury Claim?

It is possible for service personnel to make armed forces injury claims if they have been wrongfully injured, whether during military training exercises or in any other aspect of their employment, or suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or a related psychological disorder.  

Whether your army compensation claim is against a civilian defendant or against the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the rules are the same. You will not be required to leave the armed forces in order to make your claim, which will be brought in the English courts, even if the accident or injury occurred whilst you were abroad. 

Common Army Injury Claims

Common injury claims brought by armed forces personnel include:

• post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD);
• armed forces road traffic accidents;
• accidents on MOD property;
• firing range and military training accidents.

If your accident was the result of poor supervision or negligence on the part of the MOD, your immediate superiors or fellow service personnel, you are entitled to financial compensation for any resultant medical fees and time spent out of work.
