Was your illness, injury or bereavement caused by negligence?
If you're a Legion beneficiary who's
sustained an injury, become unwell or gone through a bereavement in
the last three years, and you think it was caused by negligence,
the Legion might be able to help you and/or your dependants to
claim compensation.
We can advise serving and ex-Service personnel and their
dependants about initiating legal action against the Ministry of
Defence.
What is negligence?
Negligence involves a failure of a system or a mistake by
someone who owes you a duty of care, for example where death or
injury is caused by:
- poorly maintained vehicles, weapons or buildings;
- negligent medical treatment or prescription of medicines;
or
- the breaking of rules or orders by the Ministry of Defence or
its agents.
