Where do I begin since I've been with Savannah and Dawson I have really realized that my VA case could be settled in my favor. They were patient with me when I would get a little frustrated and they were able to explain things in a way that I understood. I cannot say enough good things about them, they have really taken me from point A to point B and now my case has been solved and I'm so grateful. I would and will recommend them to anyone. I have to add more the hits just keep coming!! Savannah and Dawson have been heaven sent.💯💯❤️💗🙏🏿

I could have pursued bodily injury damages alone from the motorcycle accident, but I'm so glad I didn't. Don Marcari was easy to work with, and both he and his team had my back through the entire process. Additionally, they communicated often with me to keep me posted on progress. Don knows BI law, and he put the other party's insurance company in check. Trust me, you will want Don in your corner if you or a loved ever find yourself in need of a bodily injury attorney. I am incredibly appreciative of Don Marcari and his entire team at MRSB!

This has been an amazing experience. They were able to get me from 90% (where I was stagnated at for several years) to 100% P&T with the VA. I can not say enough about the whole MRSB team. Heather is amazing at her job and is great at communicating with her clients. Again awesome experience. Myself and my family can't thank you enough.

In January 2022 my husband was in a head on collision in NC. We had no clue how to handle the legal end of this wreck when a good friend of ours suggested this law firm. I contacted them and they immediately sent a representative out to our home. David Spencer got the ball rolling kept us abreast of the procedures that was going on. His secretary Mrs. Cathy out of the Fayetteville office was always a phone call away. She answered any and all of my questions very professionally. Cathy was on top of my husbands case just as if it was her own. We are very pleased with this law firm and would not hesitate yo use them again. Mr Spencer and Mrs. Cathy {in the Fayetteville office} treated us as if we were their only clients! Thank you both for a job well done! Ed and Carolyn Croxton

I was nearing the end of my rope of trying to get what I'm entitled to as a burn pit victim. However, literally, one really last minute simple engine search brought me to these fantastic veteran advocates! I was stuck at 90% disabled for close to 3 years but in 5 maybe 6 short months, I'm now at 100% with close to 20 months of back pay. Thank God for these truly honest people fighting for the little guy!!

I was initially denied for my VA disability claim, but with the help of Savannah Gay and Dawson Rouse, they were able to get my claim approved with back pay going back several years. Savannah was very communicative throughout the process, updating me on my case and assisting when needed. I would recommend them for any VA disability claim issues, as they were accommodating in ensuring my case was addressed.

EFP Roadside Bomb Injuries

Act Today Against Those Who Chose to Fund Terrorism

Our Attorneys Proudly Fight for Those Who Were Sadly Injured by EFP Roadside Bombs while Serving Our Country.
Some of the deadliest attacks against the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan have been made using EFP IED roadside bombs.

There are several United States service members and contractors that were harmed by Iranian-backed terrorism (EFP roadside bombs) and they may also have reputable cases against the banks who aided in attacks via the practice of money laundering.  

At Veterans Benefits Law Firm, our attorneys are proud to help you and your family receive the compensation you truly deserve for economic losses, pain, suffering and a loss of the quality of life.

How Do I Know if I Can File a Lawsuit?

It’s important to obtain the judgement of a federal court, by first proving that there was at least one connection between the malfeasance of the bank and the injury that you or your loved one were injured from. It’s already been well-documented that plenty of banks were responsible for funneling cash to Iran, and that Iran also chose to send terrorist devices, which were in turn sold off to Iraq, Afghanistan, and several other areas.  

It’s essential to prove that any injury sustained took place from 2004 to the present, and it was also directly caused by a device that was backed by Iran. Those may include: 

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). 

Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs). 

Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPGs). 

Improvised Rocket-Assisted Munitions (IRAMs). 

These devices, the parts they’re made with, and the instructions used to run them were imported into Afghanistan and Iraq to solely kill Americans, any coalitions forces and to terrorize communities cooperating with any war effort. In addition to injured Veterans, the children and spouses of Veterans who were killed by these devices can also make a claim about the Iraq & Afghan War Fund. 

What's The Difference Between Total Disability Based Upon Individual Unemployability (TDIU) & An Extra-Schedular Disability Rating?

A Veteran must meet two requirements under a TDIU claim to be eligible for a 100 percent disability rating: They must have a service-connected disability with a 60% or more disability rating, or two or more service-connected disabilities with a combined rating of 70% or more AND/OR Medical evidence of unemployability. On the other hand, an extra-schedular rating applies to Veterans who are unemployable, due to their service-connected disability or disabilities, but whose disability does not meet the percentage requirements for any of the two aforementioned scenarios.

Catastrophic Injuries and Death Can Possibly Result in Compensation

Effects of EFPs can truly be horrific for any American who finds themself directly within the combat zone, and, if you, or someone that you know and love, was critically involved in one of these types of situations, our firm is here to help.

Those situations include, but may not be limited to, the following: 

• The loss of a loved one. 

• Suicide by a loved one, due to EFP-connected mental impairments. 

• The loss, or amputation of limbs. 

• Traumatic brain injury/injuries. 

• Spinal cord paralysis, or injuries. 

• The loss of vision. 

• ‘Blast’ injuries, shrapnel wounds/scars. 

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

Unfortunately, the Iraq & Afghan War Fund is not possible for all casualties of war, only to someone who is able to supply proof suggesting that Iranian-backed terror, and terroristic devices caused their injury.

Any case of this size is not easy to make, argue, or even win, but when you choose to work with our law firm, a team of people who have over 200 years of joint legal experience, and who are accredited to represent you anywhere in the United States, feel confident that we have the knowledge to fight for you. 

How IEDS & EFP Roadside Bombs Effect VA Disability Benefits

Lawsuits that seek out payments from the Iraq & Afghan War Fund fully separate from VA disability benefits. Even if you’re receiving VA disability benefits, you may still file a claim that’s centered around an IED/EFP roadside bomb lawsuit. Filing the IED/EFP does not affect the earlier disability claim. 

But, if you were injured in either Iraq or Afghanistan, you may also be entitled to VA disability benefits. If you have been denied, we can fight to help you get the benefits that you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does It Cost To Hire You?

It does not cost you anything to hire our Veterans Benefits Law Firm as your attorneys. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not owe us anything unless we win you an award. Our firm charges 20%, which is deducted by the VA from your lump sum payment for retroactive benefits.

How Long Will It Take To Appeal My Benefits Denial?

While it can take six months or more for a Veteran to receive a decision on his or her initial benefits claim from the Department of Veterans Affairs, appeals could take 2 years of more. The Department of Veterans Affairs lacks the funding to properly staff and process benefits applications. The number of applications from recently returning Veterans must be dealt with while the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to actively work towards providing services to prior generations of Veterans.

How Do I Increase My Disability Rating?

Great question! If the condition that you are actively receiving disability benefits for has now ultimately worsened over time, you can file an increased rating claim. It’s fairly simple, and it involves filing out an online claim form or mailing a letter to your regional office documenting the change in your condition.
