Civil Claims

Members of the armed forces who have been injured in an accident are able to pursue a claim against the Ministry of Defence, subject to proving fault.

There are no limits on the amount of damages that can be awarded in a civil claim.

Personal injury compensation claims through the civil courts must be started within three years of the date the injury was sustained, or three years from date of knowledge of an injury.

Please note the position is different if pursuing only a claim through the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, whereby a military injury claim following an accident must be made within seven years of the date of an accident or, where there is latent damage, within three years of the date of knowledge.
