The average civilian may believe that it is almost an occupational hazard for any member of the air force, the army or the navy to be injured during their career however the Ministry of Defence still has a duty of care to all its personnel.
This means that whilst in combat situations, equipment should be supplied and fit for the purpose. At all other times appropriate training, equipment and a suitable working environment should be provided the same as any employer has.
The hazardous materials and dangerous situations that personnel are placed in sometimes means that they are at greater risk of injury if the appropriate duty of care is not in place.
If you have suffered an injury whilst serving your country and wish to claim compensation, you can and there is no fear that claiming means you would have to resign. If you have been injured due to the Armed Forces neglect, you are entitled to claim compensation.
If you believe you have a potential case, your first step should be to submit a claim to Personal Injury Experts and let our solicitors decide what your next plan of attack should be.
