PARACHUTING
Military parachuting is a high-risk activity, but that does not excuse negligence. If you’ve been injured—or tragically lost a loved one—during a military parachute jump, you may be entitled to compensation. Our expert military claims solicitors can help you pursue both civil claims and Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) claims to secure the financial and emotional support you need. We act on a No Win, No Fee basis and offer a free initial consultation to assess your case.

MOD Has a Legal Duty of Care
Parachuting may be dangerous, but the Ministry of Defence is still legally responsible for minimising risk. Failures in training, equipment checks, weather assessment, or supervision can amount to negligence. If such lapses contributed to your injury, you may have a strong case for compensation.

We Handle Complex, Life-Changing Cases
Military parachute accidents often result in serious injuries such as spinal trauma, brain damage, and psychological harm. Our solicitors assess the full impact on your life—including future employment and care needs—to ensure your claim reflects the reality of your situation.

We provide compassionate, professional support throughout.

Dual-Pathway Claims for Maximum Compensation
​You may be eligible to pursue both a civil claim and an AFCS claim. Civil claims often offer higher awards when negligence is proven, while AFCS provides no-fault compensation. We can also assist with Critical Illness Insurance claims, which are not deducted from civil awards, ensuring you receive every penny you’re entitled to.
