There are many foreign servicemen in the Armed Forces of Ukraine who defend our independence. Since such a service carries a number of risks, it is quite natural that our state has provided legal and material guarantees for the military in case of injury. They become a guarantee that it is possible to receive the appropriate level of payments for injuries and financial support during treatment. However, in practice, problems may arise with the use of these legal instruments. This is exactly the situation faced by a contract serviceman from Spain, whose wife turned to the Prikhodko & Partners law firm for help. We suggest you familiarize yourself with this case in more detail.
What problem have our customers faced?
As reported during the initial consultation, the wife of a serviceman, Mrs. Maria, her husband received a blind wound from a shrapnel gunshot wound in August 2022. He was evacuated and sent to medical facilities for treatment. However, the military man, unfortunately, did not receive financial support in the proper amount.
When we got acquainted with all the circumstances of this situation, we drew up a step-by-step action plan, which was necessary to obtain the predicted positive result. Our team always works precisely for the result, we do not stop halfway. So we carefully planned everything and began to act.
What was the sequence of steps in legal support?
Our lawyers immediately directed several legal requests to the military unit. Such actions were aimed at achieving 2 goals:
establish a complete picture of the circumstances under which the serviceman was injured;
request the necessary documents.
So, as a result of these requests, we received certificates about the circumstances of the injury and certificates of the Military Medical Commission. They became a documentary confirmation that the serviceman was not fully settled.
After that, we prepared a motivated report to the High Court, in which we recreated the chronology of events and noted the specific regulatory and legal basis, on the basis of which we demanded proper compensation for injuries to the military. The result was a positive response from the military unit regarding the transfer of all monetary support.
What is the result in numbers?
In order to consolidate the result and speed up the accrual of funds, we sent another request in writing to the lawyer demanding a certificate of the accrued financial support. The answer was positive. In May 2024, Ms. Maria’s husband received a payment for injuries in the amount of about 300,000 hryvnias.
Summarizing…
Despite the fact that the norms of the current legislation of Ukraine provide for a sufficiently wide range of guarantees for military personnel, in practice there are sometimes problems with the use of these opportunities. Bureaucracy works somewhere, and the human factor somewhere. As a result, the military may not keep funds for injuries that would be useful for quality treatment and recovery.
