Overview
At Brown Sims, we provide expert defense for employers and insurers facing claims under the War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA). These claims often involve complex scenarios—such as enemy actions, terrorist attacks, or accidental detonations—requiring a nuanced understanding of federal law and its intersection with workers’ compensation. Our seasoned attorneys are adept at managing these high-stakes cases, protecting our clients from undue liability and financial exposure.
The WHCA presents unique challenges, including determining eligibility, assessing the causal link to war hazards, and navigating the reimbursement process with the U.S. Department of Labor. Our firm excels at defending against inflated or questionable claims, ensuring that only valid losses are compensated. We meticulously investigate the circumstances of each case, challenge unsupported allegations, and advocate for fair resolutions—whether through negotiation or administrative proceedings. By staying ahead of regulatory requirements and leveraging our deep knowledge of the WHCA, we help clients mitigate risks and maintain operational stability.
With extensive experience in WHCA defense, Brown Sims is a trusted partner for businesses operating in volatile regions. We understand the pressures of government contract work and the critical need to balance compliance with cost control. If you’re confronting a WHCA claim or seeking guidance on war-related risk management, our team is equipped to deliver strategic, results-driven representation.
