Our expert military claims lawyers will handle your claim at no cost to you* and in the vast majority of cases you will receive 100% of your compensation**.
Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Members of the armed forces work in some of the most difficult and dangerous environments in the world. For this reason, it’s crucial that medical care provided - whether in the UK or abroad - is of the highest standard possible. When these standards are not met, the results of medical negligence can be devastating. If you have suffered due to medical negligence while serving in the armed forces, it may be possible to claim compensation.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your medical negligence in the armed forces claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting members of the armed forces and their families due to medical negligence, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Medical Negligence Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
Service personnel and their families treated by military doctors and nurses are entitled to the same standard of care and treatment that civilians receive outside the Armed Forces. If you’re a member of the Armed Forces and are given wrong or inadequate medical treatment, you may be entitled to make a medical negligence claim for any illness, pain and suffering you have endured as a result.
Irwin Mitchell handles more medical and clinical negligence claims that any other firm of solicitors in the country. We’ll treat your medical negligence claim with the specialist care and attention to detail these often complex cases demand. Our extensive experience in handling medical negligence claims means that you can be assured that your case will be in the best hands.
Medical negligence occurs when a medical professional fails in their duty to ensure that you are adequately cared for. Often, cases of medical negligence go unreported, leaving the ill-practice of medical professionals unexposed. By making a medical negligence claim you may compensated for any damages or financial loss.
