Why Military Injury Claims Are Not Disloyal

Understanding Your Right to Compensation

For many serving personnel and veterans, the idea of making a military injury claim can feel uncomfortable, even disloyal. After all, the Armed Forces are built on values of duty, honour, and sacrifice. However, if you’ve been injured due to negligence, unsafe conditions, or failure to follow proper procedures, seeking compensation is not a betrayal of those values: it’s a rightful step towards justice and recovery.

At Ison Harrison, our specialist solicitors understand the unique pressures faced by military personnel. We are here to support you with clear, confidential advice and expert representation, and without judgement.

Why Making a Claim Is Not Disrespectful

Military injury claims are not about criticising the Armed Forces. They are about:

Holding the correct body accountable, whether that’s the Ministry of Defence (MoD), a contractor, or another responsible party.
Securing financial support for rehabilitation, loss of earnings, and long-term care.
Protecting others by highlighting unsafe practices or systemic failures.

Just like any other workplace, the military has a duty of care to its personnel. When that duty is breached, you have a legal right to seek redress.

Common Types of Military Injury Claims

You may be able to claim compensation for:

Training accidents due to poor supervision or faulty equipment
Hearing loss and tinnitus from prolonged exposure to noise without adequate protection
Cold Injuries arising from prolonged exposure to cold and wet conditions
PTSD or other psychological injuries caused by failure to provide proper support
Injuries sustained during deployment due to inadequate planning or resources

Our team has experience handling complex military claims and understands the sensitivities involved.

The Claims Process: What to Expect

Making a claim doesn’t have to be daunting. Here’s how it works:

Initial Consultation: We offer a free, no-obligation chat to understand your situation.
Evidence Gathering: We’ll help collect medical records, service documents, and witness statements.
Claim Submission: We submit your claim to the appropriate body, often the MoD.
Negotiation or Litigation: We aim to settle your claim fairly and swiftly, but we are prepared to go to court if needed.

We operate on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s no financial risk to you.
