Many contract workers working overseas have been exposed to dangerous conditions including smoke and chemical inhalation that results from exposure to burn pits while overseas.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs, waste products in burn pits include, but are not limited to: chemicals, paint, medical and human waste, metal/aluminum cans, munitions and other unexploded ordnance, petroleum and lubricant products, plastics, rubber, wood, and discarded food.

Veterans’ Affairs has also concluded that the toxins in burn pit smoke may affect the skin, eyes, respiratory and cardiovascular systems, gastrointestinal tract and internal organs.

If you are concerned that you were exposed to these dangerous conditions while working as a civilian contractor overseas, please contact us for more information.

The Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities Act (NAF) is an extension of the Federal Workers’ Compensation Program, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.

NAF employment is considered federal employment. It is, however, different from federal civil service employment because the monies used to pay the salaries of NAF employees come from a different source. Civil service positions are paid for by money appropriated by Congress. NAF money, on the other hand, is self-generated by Air Force clubs, bowling centers, golf courses, and other activities that use NAF employees.

NAF positions include, but are not limited to; child care providers, food service employees, cooks, custodial staff, general laborers, and golf course employees.

NAF claims are administered by the United States Department of Labor and is primarily an administrative process, distinct from a traditional State or Federal Court system. You should have an attorney with the experience to navigate the rules and procedures unique to this federal administrative system.

We have substantial experience with NAF claims. We have focused our careers on the Longshore Act and its extensions and including NAF claims. We understand the system and we understand how to get you the benefits you are entitled to under the law.
