DEFENSE BASE LAWYERS
At The Law Offices of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, P.A., we are dedicated to the representation of injured workers under the Defense Base Act, 42 U.S.C.1651, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. 901 et. seq., and the Florida Workers' Compensation Act, F.S. 440 et.seq.
Our team of experienced and qualified lawyers and paralegals can handle your case under the Defense Base Act no matter where you were injured and no matter where you live. We handle Defense Base Act injuries that occur in Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, Germany, South America, Puerto Rico or anywhere overseas where the U.S. has a military defense base or where civilian contractors are injured while working to aid in the mission of the U.S. government.
We have handled all types of injuries, and we have handled cases at every level, from the administrative level before the O.W.C.P. (Office of Workers' Compensation Programs), through trial before an A.L.J. (Administrative Law Judge), and through appeal to the B.R.B. (Benefits Review Board) and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
We know the Defense Base Act and we have 28 years of combined experience, representing more than 1,500 injured workers. We have obtained millions of dollars on behalf of our clients over the past 11 years. Please check our Verdicts & Settlements page for a few of the excellent results we have obtained for our clients.
