Have you suffered a military accident? Armed Forces Compensation

In view of the recent development that military personnel fear for their careers if they sue the MOD, Hilary Meredith has confirmation from Baroness Taylor, on behalf of the Government that; "The military careers of Armed Forces personnel who claim under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme or through the Courts should not suffer as a result of that claim." This is in response to Hilary Meredith's Parliamentary question in the House of Lords on 3rd December 2009.

Hilary Meredith has over twenty one years' experience of pursuing traumatic personal injury claims on behalf of those in the Armed Forces who have suffered a military accident.
