What is the time limit to make a military accident claim?
For most military personal injury claims there is a 3 year time limit to formally issue your claim at court. However, there are some exceptions, including if you were not aware of an injury until a considerable amount of time after the event.
In this case, the time limit begins from when you first become aware of the injury and/or a diagnosis has been made.
We recommend you start your claim as soon after your accident as possible, as we have the best chance of collecting all the evidence we need to mount the strongest case. Speak to our specialist no win no fee solicitors today.

Read our accident at work legal guide to understand your legal rights and how much compensation you may be able to claim.
What is the Armed forces compensation scheme?
With military injuries there is a separate entitlement to compensation through the Government if the injury has been sustained on or after 6th April 2005. Where your injury or illness was caused before this date you may be entitled to recover compensation under the War Pensions Scheme.
Time limits are also applicable and therefore advice is best sought as early as possible.
