Military Amputation Claims

Types of Military Amputation Claims We Handle

Our dedicated team of military amputation solicitors handles a wide range of claims involving both traumatic amputations and surgical amputations following failed medical intervention. 

We support clients across all branches of the UK Armed Forces — including the Army, Navy, and RAF — whether injuries occurred on deployment, in training, or during day-to-day service activities.

Each case is different. We take time to understand your service history, how the injury occurred, and how it’s affected your life. 

This lets us build a claim that reflects your true experience — not just what’s written in your medical record. Here are some of the military loss of limb compensation cases we commonly handle:

• Blast Injuries From IEDs or Explosives – Traumatic amputations caused by battlefield hazards or operational equipment failures.
• Injuries From Faulty Equipment or Machinery – Cases involving safety failures, inadequate maintenance, or poor design.
• Training Accidents Involving Vehicles or Weapons – Avoidable incidents due to lack of supervision or procedural errors.
• Medical Mismanagement or Delayed Diagnosis – Where infections, compartment syndrome, or fractures are mishandled and lead to avoidable amputation.
• Cold Injury or Frostbite – Resulting in tissue damage or surgical removal due to inadequate protective gear or prolonged exposure.

Understanding Your Right to Compensation for Military Amputation

If your injury occurred because of negligence — whether due to unsafe procedures, poor medical care, or preventable accidents — you may be entitled to make a civil military amputation claim. 

Many clients assume the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) is their only option. While the AFCS provides fixed payments, civil claims can result in more substantial compensation based on the full impact of the injury over your lifetime.

If you're unsure whether you’re eligible, speak to one of our expert military amputation solicitors for a no-pressure conversation. We’ll help you understand your rights clearly so you can make the best decision for your future. Important facts to know:

• You May Claim While Still Serving – Many successful claims are made by personnel still in active service, with full confidentiality
• Time Limits Apply – You usually have three years from the date of injury or diagnosis to begin a claim
• Compensation Is Based on Impact – Civil claims take into account loss of earnings, prosthetics, mobility aids, pain and suffering, psychological trauma, and future care needs
• You Can Claim in Addition to AFCS Awards – A civil claim does not prevent you from receiving other military benefits or statutory schemes
