If your service has left you with an injury or illness, you deserve clear, practical advice and a team that understands the realities of military life. Our military law team help serving personnel, veterans and families with all their legal needs. We act quickly, explain costs up front and keep you informed from the first call to the final outcome, so you always know what happens next.
The most common claims for compensation that we pursue include:
- hearing loss and tinnitus claims arising from weapons and vehicle noise exposure,
- non-freezing cold injuries,
- training and equipment-related accidents,
- clinical negligence,
- and toxic exposure claims.
Many people ask whether to pursue the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) or a civil claim. The answer depends on your circumstances. AFCS is a no-fault scheme with its own rules and time limits; civil claims consider negligence and can result in different types of compensation. We’ll talk you through both routes in plain English, including when it may make sense to run them in parallel and how any awards interact, so you can make an informed choice.
From the outset you’ll have a named contact who coordinates your case and returns your calls. We gather and organise the right evidence early: service and medical records, imaging, occupational notes, witness statements and independent expert opinions. Getting the basics right at the start saves time later and improves the quality of your case. Where appropriate, we’ll also discuss interim payments and signpost to specialist support services.
Funding is straightforward. No win, no fee may be available for eligible civil claims, and we’ll explain all options before you decide. There are no hidden extras and you’ll receive clear written information about what is and isn’t covered. If you’re applying under AFCS, we’ll set out how that process differs, what to expect and how we can help prepare your paperwork.
We represent Clients all over the UK and beyond. Our team are flexible in the way that they work – we’re happy to talk on the phone, video calling and in some instances we can visit you at home or in hospital. Everything is handled with discretion and compassion. Our goal is to reduce stress, keep momentum and put you in the strongest possible position.
When service takes a toll on your health, you deserve expert support. We’ll take the time to understand your story, gather the right evidence and guide you through a straightforward plan,so you always know what happens next. Proud partners with Veterans Welfare Group.
