Helping Civilian Contract Personnel Injured in Qatar

Civilian contract personnel who are injured in Qatar are entitled to medical treatment and several other rights that are outlined in the Defense Base Act. Verifying that an incident qualifies as a DBA injury, however, requires that you file a claim and go through a review process. This is not ideal for any contractor who is on the job in Qatar, and it pushes many injured longshore and harbor workers to become frustrated with the process. Luckily, if you have been injured overseas at the Al Udeid Air Base or elsewhere in Qatar, an attorney can help you fight for your rights and any compensation that may be granted to you. Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A.  offers comprehensive legal services to clients who have been injured on international bases. Some of the most common accidents in Qatar include the following:

• Injury to hearing due to trauma or loud noises
• Various orthopedic injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Psychiatric afflictions such as PTSD
• Exposure to fumes from burn pits
