Torts and Personal Injury Lawsuits against the Military
You may be able to sue the military for any type of injury or property damage you suffered as a result of the military or it’s employees’ negligence.
Military installations are like small cities. The installations operate with similar requirements as any business or town. They are responsible for ensuring the safety of those on the base, making sure the facilities are appropriately designed and kept-up to avoid injuries, and preventing its members from acting in a neglectful or reckless manner.
Our firm represents those people that have been injured by the military or had their property damaged by military. Too often, those injured are persuaded to not pursue a claim against the military or settle on minimal financial compensation, usually because of a sense of patriotism. The military has a duty to protect its citizens, and if that duty is violated, those citizens are entitled to financial compensation in many circumstances.
Who Can Sue the Military – Eligibility
In most circumstances, anyone can sue the military unless they were a member of the military at the time of the injury (active duty or active reserves are ineligible). Dependents, civilian employees, retirees, or other civilians are eligible to sue if they have been injured by the military.
