1 Military Injuries Personal Injury All you need to know about making a military injury claim from leading personal injury lawyers Irwin Mitchell
2 I would like to thank you for everything you have done for Ben. You have fought incredibly hard to ensure that injured soldiers, like my son, get the support and compensation they deserve and which will help them to live the best quality life possible. Without your professional knowledge, patience and expertise, there would not have been such a successful outcome. We will always be grateful for the difference you have made. Diane Dernie, Mother of Ben Parkinson This information relates to the law and procedures in England and Wales. Please contact us if you need advice about the law and procedure in other legal jurisdictions.
3 Contents Introduction Why use Irwin Mitchell? How can we help? When can I make a claim? How much will it cost? How much compensation will I get? What else can we do for you? Useful contacts
4 Introduction We understand military culture and the unique issues connected with having an accident on duty. Our specialist military injuries team, which includes former service personnel, can guide you through this difficult time and help you get the compensation you deserve. Serving in the Armed Forces is a dangerous job. There are risks involved in combat and it is inevitable that people will be injured. However, the Ministry of Defence [MoD] has a responsibility to minimise those risks where possible.
5 5 If you suffer an avoidable injury during military service, just as in any other job, you may be able to claim against your employer for failing to properly protect you. Due to the physical nature of military service there are a large number of common causes of personal injuries including: Assault courses and adventure training Aviation incidents Bullying, harassment and assault Equipment failures Hearing loss due to noise exposure Negligent discharge of weapons Non-freezing cold injury Parachuting Road traffic accidents on and off duty Training exercises Vehicle-related incidents Weapons, fires and explosive incidents. We can represent you in claims relating to these and other circumstances whether you serve in the Army, Navy or RAF. With Irwin Mitchell you can be assured that specialist solicitors will fight hard to secure compensation, as well as offering guidance on the types of welfare support that might be available to you and your family after an accident. Above all, we put you first. To talk to a specialist advisor today simply call free on or text CLAIM to and someone will call you back
6 Why use Irwin Mitchell? Irwin Mitchell is one of the largest and most experienced personal injury law firms in the country. Our reputation for helping people with military injuries is second to none and every year we recover millions of pounds of compensation for people who have been injured on or off duty.
7 7 Specialist team Our specialist team provides a sympathetic and understanding service, supporting you throughout the claim process and seeking the justice you deserve. This applies equally in instances where a military incident has led to the death of a loved one and the claim is being brought by relatives. In all cases we will: Pursue your claim fearlessly and tirelessly, with confidence that we can achieve a positive conclusion. Relieve you of any stress relating to your case, as far as it is possible for us to do so. Explain each stage of the process in clear terms, so that you understand what we are doing on your behalf. Our initial consultations are no-obligation. We know that talking to a solicitor about a claim can be sensitive when you re in the military, so you can be sure that our service is strictly confidential. To talk to a specialist advisor today simply call free on or text CLAIM to and someone will call you back
8 How can we help? Seeing the effects of military injuries first hand has led us to campaign for research and legislative change to improve the quality of treatment available to victims.
9 9 We have a long history of campaigning, fundraising and working with leading organisations in the Armed Forces welfare field including: Army Families Federation Army Welfare Service BLESMA Blind Veterans UK Combat Stress Defence Medical Welfare Services Regimental associations SSAFA Forces Help Troop Aid. Together with these organisations we seek improvements in health and safety, quality of life and levels of compensation for service personnel who have suffered injury or been involved in fatal accidents. Our legal support for the campaign of Ben Parkinson helped to introduce a significant increase in Armed Forces Compensation awards for seriously injured servicemen and women.

10 When can I make a claim? You cannot make a claim against the MoD for accidents or illnesses caused by events occurring before May Claims after that date can be made within a set time period whether you are still serving or have left the Armed Forces or are about to be medically discharged. The time limit for most claims is three years from the date of the accident. However, that limit varies depending on the type of claim, where it happened and the facts of your case. When you contact Irwin Mitchell, we will give you clear advice about the time limits that apply to your claim. Contacting us promptly enables us to begin our investigations into the circumstances of your injury, which is crucial to securing the evidence and documents needed to give your claim the best chance of success.
11 11 Do I have a case? If you can prove that either the MoD or someone else was at fault and you can prove that your injuries and illness are related to work, you can make a claim for compensation. Even if you re unsure whether you have a claim - or you think you may be at fault it s always worth calling us. We ll assess your case free of charge, tell you what we think and then you can decide if you want to go ahead. What are my chances of winning? We have a long track record of winning compensation cases where our client initially thought they did not have a claim before taking advice from us. When you contact us we will give you realistic advice on the chances of winning based on the information you provide. It is not possible to give a definitive answer on any case. However, the more information we have the more accurate an assessment we can make. Off Duty Accidents Our specialist military department also represent members of the armed forces who are injured off duty due to the fault of another person, such as road traffic accidents. Our clients have the benefit of knowing that their solicitor has an excellent understanding of the impact of their injury on their military career and the financial loss that may result. We also represent service personnel who have suffered from assault in a criminal injury whether in Great Britain or overseas under the Criminal Injury Compensation Scheme. To talk to a specialist advisor today simply call free on or text CLAIM to and someone will call you back
12 How much does it cost? Don t be put off by legal costs there might not be any. Contacting us for initial advice on your claim will cost you nothing even our phone number is free to call. If we advise you to pursue a claim with us, we will review all the options for funding it. Our preferred option is our No Cost To You scheme which you may know better as a No Win, No Fee agreement. That means: if you win you keep 100% of your compensation* if you lose you pay nothing** there are no hidden costs. * Does not apply to group actions, accidents and illnesses outside England and Wales, criminal injury claims and untraced driver claims and is subject to compliance with the terms of your funding arrangements. **Subject to entering a No Win, No Fee agreement with us and complying with its terms.
13 13 Other options When we discuss your claim in more detail we will tell you if the No Cost To You option is available or if we need to look at other funding options. For example, you may be able to fund your case via: PAX legal expenses insurance offered as part of PAX Personal Accident Insurance Other legal expenses insurance Public funding. We will advise you clearly and impartially on the best option for you. We will always give you an honest, straightforward opinion. To talk to a specialist advisor today simply call free on or text CLAIM to and someone will call you back
14 How much compensation will I get? The amount of compensation you receive will depend on how seriously you have been injured, how that injury has affected your life, how much money you have lost or will lose as a consequence - and whether you will need extra support in the future. You have simply overwhelmed me with your help and support over the last four years. You have always provided much more than just a lawyer - client relationship, and I admit at times you were no doubt a little frustrated by some of my more animated rants! But through this you provided both a sensible and caring approach to achieve a final settlement with which I am extremely happy. Steve
15 15 Individually assessed We will advise you at the outset on how courts approach the assessment of compensation and how that will apply to your case. However, it is important to bear in mind that everyone is different and the consequences of the same injury will vary from person to person. We have a track record of specialist knowledge in assessing damages that can be claimed, for example, as a result of discharge from the armed forces and/or rehabilitation and support needs. Many non-specialist solicitors may not understand the complex calculations that relate to loss of armed forces benefits and pensions. We have been at the forefront of ensuring that our clients maximise their award to ensure that they are fully and fairly compensated. Armed Forces Compensation Scheme As well as making a civil claim, you might be able to claim through the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, which was designed to compensate people who are injured while serving in the military. Our dedicated Armed Forces team will tell you if you are eligible for this when you contact them. However, the right to apply under the scheme does not prevent you from also making a civil damages claim if there is fault for your accident. Keeping you informed As we learn more about you and your circumstances, we will be able to provide a more accurate idea of the financial value of your claim. You can be assured that we will do everything we can to recover the maximum amount of compensation available to you and organise payment terms to suit your immediate and on-going needs.
