Making a claim for accidental death in the military 

Our team has seen how devastating it is for families to lose a loved one in a military accident and how the financial security of those left behind can be severely threatened.

If you have been affected by a negligent death in the military, get in touch with us today to discuss the possibility of making a claim. We usually work on a no-win, no-fee basis.

If you believe the death of your loved one could have been prevented whilst in service please get in touch and talk to us. You could be entitled to compensation. We have acted for many families over the years, in the UK and overseas, at such a difficult time in their lives. We understand the impact this has on the family emotionally and financially.

We will get in touch with your Visiting Officer to obtain as much information we can on your behalf. It is best to contact us as soon as possible so that we can represent you at the inquest and obtain the disclosure we need to find out exactly what happened and why.

Our specialist military solicitors are available to speak to whenever you need to talk. We put you first, and will support you and your family through the legal process.

Client Journeys

We represented the widow and children of a Corporal who was killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) whilst serving in Iraq. He was in a Snatch Landrover which provided inadequate protection against the IED. The Chilcot report was highly critical of the use of these vehicles. We overcame combat immunity issues to secure this settlement for our clients.
