Supreme Court rules in favor of soldier who sued contractor over 2016 Bagram bombing
A recent US Supreme Court decision has allowed an Army soldier to pursue a lawsuit against a military contractor. The case stems from a 2016 bombing at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The soldier, who suffered significant injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, had sued the contractor in state court.
The Supreme Court's ruling overturned a lower court decision, permitting the soldier to proceed with the lawsuit under state law. The court rejected the contractor's argument that it was immune from liability due to federal law. Further details on the case are available from the source, including the Supreme Court's opinion and the specifics of the lawsuit.
