Injured Overseas and War Zone Contractors often find themselves in this battle for medical care and other benefits afforded them under the Defense Base Act. AIG ,CNA, ACE, Zurich ruthlessly delay and deny claims with no remorse for the lives they destroy. The Department of Labor has served as a poor administrator allowing these insurance company tactics and sometimes even supporting them. The Defense Base Act itself has been twisted to better meet the needs of the insurance company.
We are injured overseas and war zone contractors and family members living this in real time.
YES IRAQ 07/08 PTSD, COPD, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, EDEMA …CONJUNCTIVE HEART ….
Why is it so hard to get Medical care, A second opinion is out of the Question. AIG in my case is close to a bad faith law suit.
I’ve been living with PTSD since leaving Iraq 5 years ago.I was a convoy driver for KBR.
I was injured while working in Iraq. It took 31 months for the judge to rule on my case. Luckily, I had an honest ALJ.
