We can help you receive compensation to help with the complications arising from spinal injuries in the military. Military road traffic accidents, often referred to as military RTAs (Road Traffic Accidents), are accidents involving military personnel, vehicles, or assets on public roads or highways.
These accidents can occur under a variety of circumstances and may involve military personnel in uniform, military vehicles, or even accidents that occur off-duty when military personnel are using their private vehicles.
Road traffic accidents are causes of injury and death for British Armed Forces personnel in Britain. If you or a loved one has been injured in a road traffic accident, or a loved one has died in a road traffic accident, our experienced team will pursue a claim.
Additionally, the Ministry of Defence is responsible for protecting you regardless of how dangerous the working environment. If they have failed in their responsibility to keep you safe while carrying out your duties, you are entitled to make a claim for compensation.
A road traffic accident can be disruptive, causing short- and long-term injuries that can require varying medical support with long term implications for your wider life.
Here are some key aspects to understand about military road traffic accidents:
Accidents can happen due to road sign issues, unmaintained road surfaces, provision of unsafe vehicles, road markings and driver error amongst other reasons. No matter what caused your accident, our Armed Forces solicitors can help you make a claim if it was caused by somebody else’s negligence.
Road traffic accidents can involve cars, motorcycles, coaches, public transport, pedestrians, armoured vehicles and bicycles.
Military road traffic accidents can have far-reaching consequences, affecting various aspects of a service member's life:
