Navy Paramedic with fractured ankle

A fractured ankle caused by a badly-placed mooring rope put a stop to hopes of a full service career and lucrative post-Navy prospects in the off-shore gas and oil industries. After initially denying liability, the MoD eventually accepted that it was responsible, and judgement was entered for the Claimant. The court will assess the damages at a later date.

A wrist injury that could have been fixed was referred to a specialist too late to be cured

A wrist injury that could have been fixed was referred to a specialist too late to be cured. The promising career of a talented NCO was cut short, and he was medically discharged. Liability was admitted by the MoD and damages to be assessed by the court.

RAF Pilot with Toothache

This pilot went to the field hospital in Basra suffering from toothache. The Forces dentist identified an infected root, but chose to extract the wrong tooth. The culprit remained in place, causing months of pain, and a very unusual injury - partial loss of sense of smell and taste. We obtained him compensation of £16,000.

Back Pain for Rifleman X

After a lifetime's service in the Brigade of Gurkhas, Rifleman X became ill and was posted to the Gurkha Museum, supposedly to do gentle work which would not injure him further. He was not adequately assessed or trained, however, and was given lifting work which brought forward painful back pain by two years. He instructed us to help, and we won him £10,500 in compensation.
