The work undertaken by UK Special Forces (UKSF) can be extremely dangerous and it's generally accepted that there’s a high degree of risk involved in serving in these units.
But the Ministry of Defence (MoD) should still be taking every precaution to ensure you can do your job as safely as possible. If you've been injured or a loved one was killed because of an oversight leading to an accident, our solicitors could help you claim compensation.
If you think your injury was caused by a failing or negligence on the part of the MoD, then you may have a case. Contact us today for a free initial consultation and we'll discuss your accident and give you expert legal advice on your options.
As well as handling claims for Army, RAF, and Royal Navy personnel, our lawyers have acted on behalf of regular and reserve members of:
- The Special Air Service (SAS)
- The Special Boat Service (SBS)
- The Parachute Regiment
- The Royal Marines
- The Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR)
- Bomb Disposal.
