Understanding Road Traffic Accidents

Road accidents are one of the biggest causes to why personnel, and their families, in the British Armed Forces have been seriously injured. Whether this is related to their experience as soldiers or not, we cannot deny that this is a concern – considering that the accidents are happening more domestically than while they’re on tour.

Road Traffic Accidents can lead to a range of injuries, including:

  • Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries and head trauma are common in motorbike accidents, which can have long-lasting effects.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can result in paralysis and life-altering consequences.
  • Fractures and Orthopaedic Injuries: Broken bones and orthopaedic injuries can require extensive medical care and rehabilitation.
  • Road Rash and Abrasions: Severe skin injuries, including road rash, can be painful and leave lasting scars.
  • Internal Injuries: accidents can lead to internal injuries, which may require surgery and ongoing treatment.

Why make a claim with TDS Law?

Have you made a claim with the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS)?

If you have made a claim with the AFCS do not worry. You are still eligible to make a claim with us even if the settlement by the AFCS was not in your favour.

Why can’t you make a claim if you left the British Army before 1987?

Before 1987, there was a legal rule called “Crown immunity” that protected the Ministry of Defence (MOD) from being sued for personal injury claims brought by military personnel. This meant that if you suffered from any injuries or disease while serving in the military before 1987, you couldn’t file for a claim against the MOD because they were immune from such lawsuits.

However, in 1987, a new law called the Crown Proceedings act was passed, which essentially removed this immunity. This change allowed military personnel to seek compensation for injuries they suffered while serving.

So, if you sustained an injury from a road traffic accident during your military service before 1987, unfortunately, you won’t be able to make a compensation claim because the MOD was protected by this legal immunity at that time.

I’m I Eligible To Make a Military Compensation Claim?2024-08-05T11:42:05+00:00

Whether or not you are eligible to make a military compensation claim will depend on the specific circumstances of your case. In general, you may be able to make a claim if you have developed an illness or condition as a result of your work, and your employer has failed to adequately protect you from the risks associated with your job.

Some common types of Military Compensation Claim include,  noise-induced hearing loss claims, Personal Injury claims, Military Medical Negligence claims, Non-Freezing Cold injury claims, Road Traffic Accident claims and Parachute/Aviation Injuries claims.

Please note that, due to crown immunity, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) was protected from personal injury claims brought by military personnel before 1987. As a result, unfortunately, you won’t be able to make a compensation claim for these incidents.

To determine whether you are eligible to make a claim, it is important to consult with our experienced Industrial Disease lawyer who can review the details of your case and advise you on your legal options. They will be able to assess the strength of your claim and help you understand what compensation you may be entitled to.
