Criminal injury compensation for military personnel
Criminal injuries compensation claims
If you are a member of the Armed Forces and have been attacked or assaulted in the UK then you may be entitled to claim criminal injury compensation for military personnel through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, a government body created to compensate victims of crime.
Assaulted while serving abroad
If you have been assaulted while serving abroad then you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation under the MoD’s Criminal Injuries Compensation (Overseas) Scheme. Even if the offender is not identified, caught by the civilian or Service police or convicted, a successful claim can still be made. Before you make any assumptions about the likely success or failure of your case contact Irwin Mitchell solicitors for advice.
