The US
military is filled with brave men and women who willingly put
themselves at risk of danger to guarantee the safety of the free
world. That said, it is only right that those who have sustained
injuries and other medical conditions while in the line of duty be
properly compensated. If you or a loved one who has served in the US
military suffer from any of the following conditions, be sure to
contact a disability benefits attorney to help you file for
compensation:
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) is a psychological condition some veterans acquire
due to their wartime experiences. Reliving the trauma, lasting
depression, and increased anxiety that gets worse with each passing
day are common signs of PTSD.
Toxin Exposure
Toxins are often used to
gain an advantage during war. One notable toxin used in the Vietnam
War was an herbicide known as Agent Orange, which was used to clear
the foliage in the jungles of Vietnam. Complications from exposure to
Agent Orange include Parkinson’s Disease, Type-2 Diabetes, and
various cancers.
ALS
Amytrophic
Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), aka Lou
Gehrig’s Disease, causes the deterioration of the nerve cells in
the spinal cord and brain. Common symptoms of ALS include muscle
weakness and difficulty chewing, speaking, walking, and/or breathing.
