Soldier injured in quad bike accident in Iraq
Our client sustained serious head injuries and an eye injury in a quad bike accident during a unit quad biking competition whilst on active service in Iraq.

Soldier with post traumatic stress disorder arising from military service in Northern Ireland
Our client, Malcolm New, received £620,000 damages from the Ministry of Defence in respect of their failure to diagnose and treat his post traumatic stress disorder. This was the first ever award of damages to a soldier for this condition. Malcolm served five tours of duty in Northern Ireland between 1978 and 1994, during which he witnessed at first hand the deaths of colleagues, bombings, shootings and large scale rioting. He was awarded the British Empire Medal in 1990 for his outstanding military service.

Compensation agreed by Ministry of Defence: £265,000.
