DBA lawyer wins cases for workers diagnosed with PTSD as a result of working in Afghanistan |
by Clifford Mermell
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a very serious and disabling psychiatric condition. If you have been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of working in Iraq or Afghanistan, you may be entitled to valuable compensation and medical care under the Defense Base Act (DBA). We have helped many injured workers who are returning from Iraq or Afghanistan who have been diagnosed with PTSD. We have over 35 years of combined experience in handling this type of case. If you have not yet been diagnosed with PTSD but you have symptoms of this disorder, you may need to seek a psychiatric consultation. The symptoms of PTSD can include nightmares, flashbacks, difficulty sleeping, irritability, depression, mood swings, crying spells, feelings of helplessness or hopelessness and anxiety. These symptoms can be very disabling. A psychiatrist may be able to help you diagnose and treat your condition to improve your emotional well being. If you have this condition or these symptoms as a result of working in Iraq or Afghanistan, contact us so that we can steer you in the right direction to get the medical help you need and the compensation you deserve.

DBA lawyer fights for rights of civilians injured in Afghanistan |
by Clifford Mermell
The Defense Base Act (DBA) covers civilian contractors injured in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world. The DBA provides valuable compensation, payable at 2/3 of your Average Weekly Wage (AWW), and valuable medical benefits for so long as your treating physician says you are unable to work. The DBA also provides reasonable and necessary medical care for so long as the nature of the injury and the process of recovery may require. Medical care is for life in a DBA case. While many insurance companies fight against your right to collect compensation and to obtain reasonable and necessary medical care, there is a process that allows you to fight back. We can bring your case to an informal conference (IC) at the level of the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) of the Department of Labor where we request a written recommendation in your favor. If that does not get you the benefits you deserve, we can ask for your case to go up to the Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) for an evidentiary hearing. If you are unsuccessful at that level, we can file an appeal to the Benefits Review Board (BRB) and then up to the Judicial Circuit Court of Appeals for the Circuit where your case is brought. We have successfully handled DBA cases at each of these levels. We know what to do to get you the benefits you deserve, and we will not stop until we exhaust each of these levels in our effort to obtain a favorable decision for you. We have also been very successful in obtaining lump sum cash settlements for our clients who prefer to resolve their claims without protracted litigations. For more information, contact us for a free consultation regarding your rights under the Defense Base Act (DBA).
