Our client is a former Colour Sergeant who served in the 1 Royal Welsh Regiment. He suffered a dislocated shoulder when he fell on a ramp at SENTA, which was unlit and unguarded. SENTA is a UK Ministry of Defence training area near Sennybridge, Wales.
Our client had to have surgery following the injury which impacted upon his career progression. He was due to leave the service anyway after the accident occurred. He remains disadvantaged in terms of his employment choices due to ongoing issues with discomfort. He had some underlying damage to his shoulder due to previous dislocations which complicated proving all of the symptoms were due to the accident. The claim settled for £60k.
