If you currently serve or have in the Armed Forces and have suffered an accident as a result of tripping or falling accident, you may be entitled to claim compensation for the injury caused. Falling accidents are common and can result in a wide variety of injuries from very minor cuts and bruises to broken bones and more severe injuries.
Who is responsible for accidents which involve falling or tripping?
When falling accidents occur as the result of negligence on the part of an employer or a third party, this may give rise to a compensation claim. For a compensation claim to be successful, it will be necessary to prove that the falling accident that occurred was caused by the negligence of a third party.
The MOD is no different from any other employer in that they have a responsibly to maintain a safe working environment for their employees. If a falling accident occurs as a result of poor working conditions in the Armed Forces, the employer or MOD may face a claim for negligence.
If you suffer a personal injury as the result of a falling accident, we urge you to seek legal advice before commencing a personal injury claim for compensation.
