We recently settled a case for a former serving Officer of the British Army, who suffered from hearing loss, tinnitus and an aggravation of PTSD following a battle simulation exercise. An explosive device was detonated close to our client, which resulted in injury to him and his soldiers, causing multiple injuries. Our client had previously carried out several tours in Afghanistan.
The Ministry of Defence admitted liability for the incident but disputed the amount of compensation which he sought to recover. Our client was retired on medical grounds. He now experiences low mood and suffers from intrusive thoughts. The Ministry of Defence initially offered to pay £12,500 net of AFCS and pension payments, which was increased to £50,000 net.
