Military Injury Claims | Expert Military Claims Solicitors

Here at Manchester-based Gorvins Solicitors, our specialist Partner, Gary Boyd,  Head of Gorvins’ Military Personal Injury claims department, is an acknowledged expert in the highly specialised field of serious military personal injury.

By the very nature of their chosen careers, members of the Armed forces, fighting gallantly in many theatres, often sustain serious injuries of all types including but not limited to the following list:

• Brain injuries
• Spinal (cord) injuries
• Orthopaedic injuries
• Amputations due directly/indirectly to trauma
• Non-freezing cold injuries
• Q Fever Claims
• PTSD and other psychiatric/psychological conditions
• Noise induced hearing loss
• Firearm/Ballistic injuries
• Criminal injuries
• Chronic Pain

Owing to the requirement for high levels of fitness, both physical and mental, members of the forces can often have their careers curtailed, through medical downgrading and/or premature medical discharge, following injury. This can be a devastating experience because members of the forces are often unable afterwards to enjoy comparable careers, not only in terms of remuneration and benefits but also the camaraderie and the rewarding and exhilarating nature of serving in the Armed Forces.

This service from our military claims solicitors includes maximising compensation for injuries and losses and also securing appropriate rehabilitation and support.
