Military Hearing Loss is when an individual loses their hearing during or after the service in the army.

This could be caused due to being exposed to noises such as:

Non Freezing Cold Injury (previously known as trench foot) is a injury caused by exposure to wet and freezing conditions. This can affect your feet as well as your hands. Non Freezing Cold Injury is one of the most common injury in the British Military and known to be a non-battle injury – meaning it is more likely to be picked up during training. With it being a non- combat military injury, there has been recent awareness raised for this, as it could easily be avoided. However, this hasn’t always been taken onboard and often results in soldiers suffering from this horrific injury.
Symptoms would involve:
Medical negligence is simply when the appropriate medical personnel does not perform at the standard of care required or also fail to acquire the appropriate consent before treating someone. At time the appropriate regulations may not be met by army superiors which can have devastating results to the injured individual.
Injuries surrounding army personnel require a high level of attention based on the nature of their occupation and failure of meeting these standards have to be scrutinised considering how damaging it can be.
PTSD is often experienced by most people but in different levels (Depending on the traumatic event). It is a psychological injury caused by events that may be perceived as distressing or psychologically disturbing by the individual. Understandably due to traumatic events that occurs when serving in the army, many ex-soldiers suffer from this psychological injury which can affect them for life. To claim, you will need to prove that your PTSD injury was caused by service. Nevertheless, you do not need to prove that it was due to negligence as it is a ‘no fault’ scheme
The Symptoms for PTSD includes:
Although known to be very dangerous, parachuting is often something the military provide training for to ensure it is done safely and correctly. However, this does not cancel the fact that due to its hazardous nature, many could face some life-threatening injuries if not conducted properly.
If this occurs, the claim can only be submitted within 3 years of the date of the accident for the court to proceed with this. A 2-year time limit would apply if the injury occurred on an aircraft.
Heat injury is when your body’s temperatures rise higher than normal due to hot conditions. This could be triggered when undertaking physical exercises outdoors without the appropriate clothing, insufficient water to keep you hydrated and staying in the heat for a very long time without cooling down.
At its worse, Heat Injury could lead an individual to a coma, and create other health issues such as organ failure. Due to this being mostly picked up in training, it is up to the commander in charge to know when his soldiers can take a break, provided with the appropriate clothing and given enough fluid to remain hydrated.
Believe it or not, road accidents are one of the biggest causes to why personnel in the British Armed Forces have lost their lives or seriously injured. Whether this is related to their experience as soldiers or not, we cannot deny that this is a concern – considering that the accidents are happening more domestically than while they’re on tour.
Just like many other causes, road accidents could have devastating effects or be the cause of death in many occasions and therefore requires compensation if what happened wasn’t your fault.
