The Insurance Court initially denied compensation for a veteran's re-fractured femur sustained during service training, but the Supreme Court reversed this decision. The veteran had suffered a leg fracture in 1979 and re-injured it while running during mandatory service exercises in 1980. The court ruled that the service activity was the direct cause of the old fracture re-rupturing, thereby establishing liability for damages.
