Insurance Carrier Asks To Settle? Be Careful!

This is important only if you filed a DBA Claim for your injuries, if you have not, we can do that for you. If you've taken the step to file, dealing with the insurance company. Usually within a few days after the international filing, if the claim is not denied you will be contacted by an insurance adjuster who will want to try to settle your claim as quickly as possible. Regardless of how helpful the adjuster may seem, he or she is not looking out for your best interests. The adjuster's job is to protect the interests of the insurance company; as such, insurance adjusters are trained to minimize the amount of money paid out on each claim - often denying the claim or not recognizing the full value of the case.

In many of our client's situations the insurance adjuster refuse to proffer the applicable insurance policy while offering nominal sums. This bad faith tactic occurs far too often should warn clients that any settlement prior to understanding the coverage details will be sub-par and a fraction of their entitlements.

What Is The Cost Of Our International Assistance?

Many clients wonder if there is an upfront payment for international personal injury litigation. The answer is that you don’t have to pay until we collect on your case. It is known as a contingency based fee system. Our goal is to reach a financial settlement or judgment on your behalf, which we will share on a no-win / no-fee basis. Our firm will handle your injury case on a contingency fee basis — suggesting that you give no fee until we can achieve a financial result for you. Ours is based solely on the actual recovery of money for you, and we advance all costs.

You Need Lawyers Compassionate Towards Your Injuries.

Our lawyers have family members that were also injured on American Military Bases, so we understand and are acutely aware of the many ways your life as been impacted while working overseas for U.S. contractors. There are many, many contractors working on U.S. bases, in a foreign country providing public works projects, or somewhere working on relief efforts at the behest of the U.S. government. If you are injured, or a loved one has been killed while working overseas for one of the contractors, then compensation may be available through the Defense Base Act. These benefits are not automatic, and you may need an advocate to fight for the receipt of them. Experienced Defense Base Act attorneys are those advocates.
