O v Ministry of Defence
Notable personal injury cases
The claimant was a soldier who sustained a non freezing cold Injury (NFCI) during his Army service. He was discharged due to the NFCI and suffered a loss of earnings and pension, together the other financial losses. Liability was eventually admitted. The gross value of the claim at settlement was £909,000 with a reduction for some contributory negligence and some financial deductions. The defence alleged that the claimant would have been discharged in any event due to a back injury, however, the allegation was not accepted by the claimant.
This case is one of many such cases involving NFCI run successfully by Richard Stead.
