OEF / OIF / OND Veteran Disability Lawyers in San Antonio

San Antonio is fortunate enough to host a robust community of both active duty military personnel and veterans. The presence of military installations like Randolph Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, Camp Bullis, and Brooks City-Base have earned our municipality the official nickname, “Military City, USA.”

Not only does the city support these bases, but they also support us. According to the San Antonio Express-News, these military sites provide $48.7 billion per year to our economy. Additionally, as many as 250,000 veterans currently reside here—many of whom served in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), and Operation New Dawn (OND).

Part of caring for our active duty and retired servicemen and women is recognizing when we can lend our voices to help them. Carabin Shaw’s OEF / OIF / OND veteran disability lawyers in San Antonio are here to help veterans who were injured in the line of duty while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2003 onward. Our founder, attorney Jamie Shaw, is proud to become part of a group of lawyers that have come together to represent our United States service members and contractors that were wrongfully injured during the Iraq War and Afghanistan campaigns.

The US Department of Veteran Affairs details common exposures from these military campaigns that pose a health risk to OEF, OIF, and OND veterans. These include:

• Sand, dust, and particulates, which can cause long-term respiratory problems
• Infectious diseases
• Burn pits used for open-air waste disposal
• Traumatic brain injury
• Chemical warfare agents
• Occupational hazards from working with certain chemicals or equipment
• Toxic embedded fragments, such as shrapnel, that stay in the body after the initial injury

If you live in San Antonio and have experienced any negative effects from these exposures while serving overseas, we encourage you to contact one of the skilled attorneys at Carabin Shaw, who will advocate for your health, safety, and compensation. As a firm, we strongly believe that the brave men and women who serve our country deserve the best OEF / OIF / OND veteran disability lawyers in San Antonio.

Applying for disability benefits with the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) is not an easy process, and our attorneys are here to help you navigate that terrain. While there is no guarantee that the process of claiming disability benefits will move faster with a San Antonio veteran injury attorney, using our services will help you secure all of the benefits you deserve.

Beyond these services, there are certain injuries and circumstances that may qualify you for compensation under the 1992 Anti-Terrorism Act. Reuters reports that, as early as 2014, some wounded veterans have successfully sued foreign banks, like Credit Suisse Group AG and Barclays PLC, for funding Iranian terrorist cells that initiated roadside attacks in Iraq.

The San Antonio team of lawyers at Carabin Shaw promises to do everything possible to ensure that these foreign banks and foreign financial institutions are held accountable for their conduct, actions and decisions.

If you or a loved one have been injured in Iraq or Afghanistan, call our knowledgeable OEF / OIF / OND veteran disability lawyers in San Antonio, and allow us to explain how any veteran, service member, or civilian contractor injured due to the efforts of a terrorist cell funded by Iranian efforts between 2003 and 2011 may be eligible to file a claim for compensation under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The families of deceased veterans, service members, and contractors may also be eligible to file a claim.

Don’t continue to put yourself through unnecessary stress surrounding medical conditions that are the result of your military career. Put that worry in our hands; reach out to our team of San Antonio lawyers. When you come to Carabin Shaw, you can expect our immediate dedication. Our pledge to you is this: we will not charge you unless we win your case, and your initial consultation is free. You have served us. Let us serve you.
