There are several areas where service personnel may have a claim for compensation, not just against the MoD, but also maybe against civilians in respect of road traffic accidents and criminal assault. The Criminal Injuries Compensation (Overseas) Scheme was introduced specifically for service personnel to ensure that should they be injured as a result of a crime of violence overseas they would receive compensation on a level with those injured as a result of a crime of violence in this country.
There can sometimes be hair splitting distinctions as to where the act of violence was committed by an enemy where a state of war exists, so much so that a Sergeant who lost a leg as a result of a single round of ammunition fired at him from a Serbian tank, whilst assisting with road construction in Bosnia, could not make a claim, but those injured by a round of ammunition say in Northern Ireland can. You therefore need to ensure you instruct a specialist who can advise whether you have a claim.
