There is growing awareness amongst military personnel that a military compensation claim may be brought for injuries sustained during training or following negligent medical care. It is less well known that a military compensation claim can also be brought for injuries sustained during leisure activities organised and run by the armed forces. If the correct safety standards are not in place, activities such as boxing, power boating or caving become extremely dangerous, leading to serious injuries and military personnel being medically discharged.
