Meet Oakwood Solicitors

Oakwood Solicitors is a community Law firm based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. We handle cases nationwide, and one of our specialities is Military Legal Claims. We have a great deal of respect for those who serve and have served for our country, and as well as having ex-service people in the Firm, we also have an internal team dedicated to bringing justice to those currently serving, as well as Veterans, cadets and Reservists.

Military legal claims for compensation can be complex, but understanding your rights and the process involved is crucial. Having the correct legal support can be the difference between success and failure in such claims.

What kinds of legal claims can we help with?
• Personal Injury - Including unsafe conditions whilst on duty, injuries during training exercises, accidents involving military vehicles and injuries caused by defective or inadequate equipment.
• Psychiatric Injury/Stress at Work - This could apply to service members suffering from stress whilst still in service, or veterans who are experiencing it in the workplace have re-entered civilian life. Stress could stem from bullying, harassment, excessive workload or lack of training.
• Noise Induced Hearing Loss - Hearing loss or tinnitus caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises such as gunfire, explosions, aircraft engines, machinery or service animals such as dogs.
• Non-Freezing Cold Injury - This can occur when exposure to cold, damp conditions does not lead to freezing of the tissues, but instead causes damage over time. This is common amongst service personnel who find themselves working in cold and wet environments.

We also deal with:
• Property matters - such as buying and selling. We offer 10% off for Armed Forces clients.
• Wills - Such as Will-writing, Grant of Probate and Lasting Powers of Attorney. We offer 50% off to Armed Forces clients on regular Single and Mirror Wills.
