Operation Pianora: Military Sexual Abuse Claims

Yes, you can still make a claim if you were abused during medical examinations but didn’t go into the military.

Many of the reports submitted to the police already, includes people who had the medical examination but didn’t end up serving in the Royal Navy, Army or Royal Air Force.

There’s no set amount of time a claim against the military will take. This is because each claim has unique circumstances we will need to consider.

Our team will be by your side no matter how long your claim takes.

There isn’t a set amount of compensation military personnel can claim for sexual and physical abuse they experienced.

Your team of solicitors will consider several factors when calculating how much compensation we feel you’re entitled to. This includes:

• The type and severity of the abuse
• Any care and specialist treatment required
• Any injuries you sustained because of the abuse
• Loss of earnings, past, present and future.
  
   

You will have three years from the date of abuse to make a claim.

In cases such as abuse claims, it’s understood that survivors may find it difficult to come forward. For that reason, the Courts will often waive the three-year rule.

Our abuse solicitors are experienced in getting Courts to waive the rule. We understand what they are looking for and have helped hundreds of clients bring forward historic abuse claims.

Given the large number of reports already submitted under Operation Pianora, your claim will likely be used in a group claim.

Collective group claims can be powerful in abuse claims, showing the large number of survivors impacted.

It can be beneficial to claimants as well. The group will pool together for legal fees, reducing the amount you have to pay personally.
