Compensation for bullying in the military

At Bolt Burdon Kemp we act for service men and women who have been bullied by other members of the military while serving at home or abroad.

Unfortunately, bullying and harassment in the military can happen, and are not always restricted to new recruits. When they do it may foster a feeling of isolation, and if the problem is not tackled it can encourage abuse towards others as well. We act for members of the armed forces who have been bullied, harassed or even assaulted whilst carrying out their duties, and we will advise you about the best way to claim compensation for abuse you have suffered.

Bullying is unacceptable in the military. It causes damage to the victim, the perpetrator and the services. It is no longer something you are expected to put up with as part of your service.

If you have been bullied and have suffered psychological or physical injury you may have a compensation claim.

The compensation claim could include awards in respect of:

  • Pain and suffering including psychological damage
  • Medical expenses and prescriptions
  • Loss of earnings
  • Reduced employment prospects
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Loss of out of pocket expenses
  • Cost of care for the past and care for the future
  • Cost of aids and equipment
