Military Compensation Claims for Defective Equipment
At Bolt Burdon Kemp we have personal injury solicitors who are specialists in military compensation claims and offer years of experience in advising and representing men and women in the military.
Our military solicitors are experienced in dealing with compensation claims arising from injury caused by the MoD’s breach of its duty to supply personnel with equipment, including weapons that function safely and adequately. If military equipment has malfunctioned in the past and does so again, or is not suitable for the environment in which you are instructed to use it, you could have a military compensation claim if it harms you. You could also have a military compensation claim if it harms somebody else while you are using it and you suffer psychiatric damage as a result.
We feel strongly that the MoD should be held to its duty to train service men and women to meet the needs of their military service without running the risk of unnecessary injury. For example, if you are not trained to use military equipment correctly, or to avoid cold or heat injuries, the consequences can be serious for your military career, and you may consider making a claim for compensation.
