Undersettled Military Claims: Professional Negligence

We act for service men and women who have received less than they should have from claims made against the MOD.

We have the expertise and experience to put right the losses that may have been caused by the negligence of former lawyers or professionals.

We’re here to offer practical solutions and straightforward advice for service men and women who believe they have been involved in claims that have undersettled.

Why military claims get undersettled

Under settlement of military claims happen for a variety of reasons. It is a common mistake that when settling a claim, full consideration has not been given to any change in the service person’s potential earning potential post-injury, to include any change to their pension entitlement or other benefits.

We understand the significant impact that an undersettled claim may have on your life, especially in circumstances where you may have left the military. Financial consequences, such as loss of pension, military benefits, and earning potential, are significant. Trust our experience to address your concerns. Let us rectify undersettlements and secure the compensation you are entitled to.
