We have handled hundreds of individual cases since Military Experts was founded in 2011. Most of our work is in tort cases for either plaintiff or defense, but we have been involved in many other areas of the law where a military member’s status is a key component of the case. Here are a few representative samples of recent work:
Active Duty Army Officer was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident, leading to his disability separation from the service. Our Experts worked with the soldier’s attorney to show that the injuries prevented him from reaching his career potential and calculated his loss of pay and benefits at $8.5 million.
Army Reserve Noncommissioned Officer suffered lower extremity amputation due to a mishap in his civilian job, ending his Army career. Our Experts determined his probable career path but for the injury and calculated his loss of reserve pay and benefits at $750,000.
Active Duty Navy Petty Officer claimed that injuries received in a bar fight caused his disability retirement from the service. Our Experts worked with defense counsel to obtain military medical records that clearly showed that other injuries were the proximate cause of his discharge.
Army National Guard Noncommissioned Officer claimed that a motor vehicle accident prevented his promotion and prematurely ended his career. Our Experts worked with defense counsel to obtain military personnel and training records to show that his performance had not declined since the accident and that his retirement was voluntary, rather than due to disability.
Servicemember’s spouse sought divorce and split of military benefits. Our Experts helped the attorney client to understand and quantify the benefits the servicemember was entitled to receive and provided a report rebutting an inflated calculation produced by the spouse.
Child victim of sexual assault sued the school district who employed the accused, a military veteran. Our Experts helped plaintiff’s counsel to obtain and understand the accused’s military record (including his bad conduct discharge for a similar offense) and to prepare questions for his deposition.
We strive to combine independent judgment and responsive, professional service to meet our clients’ needs and we are proud that the vast majority of our new cases come from client referrals. References are available upon request but we can share a few recent comments here:
I used Military Experts in a personal injury case I was handling in 2024 involving a reservist who suffered a low-back injury, resulting in my client’s discharge from the U.S. Army Reserves. But for their expertise, the case value would likely not have exceeded $150,000. We ended up settling for $1.1 million. I consider it to be legal malpractice to pursue an injury or death case resulting in loss of military pay or benefits without retaining Military Experts.
