Attention: Was Someone You Loved Killed or Injured in an IED or EFP Attack?

Attention: Was Someone You Loved Killed or Injured in an IED or EFP Attack?

On October 12, 2000, the U.S.S. Cole was targeted in a devastating terrorist attack while refueling at the Port of Aden, Yemen. The blast killed 17 Navy Sailors and injured many others. Twenty-four years later, on July 29, 2024, a $2 billion judgment was awarded to a group of 112 plaintiffs, including Navy Veterans and the families of the fallen.

Of the 299 members on board, 170 have been presented in litigation seeking justice for the harm they endured. That still leaves numerous equally deserving of compensation eagerly waiting for a settlement.

You might be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one suffered harm or lost their life in the U.S.S. Cole bombing, or in any other terrorist attack with an IED (improvised explosive device) or an EFP (explosively formed penetrator). Seeking a Personal Injury lawyer as soon as possible will help you get the justice you are entitled to.

IED Injuries That Could Lead to Compensation

The types of wounds you might have received in an IED or EFP attack are numerous. Common injuries that often result from these attacks include, among others:

  • Blast injuries: lung damage, internal organ damage and bleeding, ruptured eardrums
  • Shrapnel wounds
  • Burns
  • Fractures
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Hearing loss
  • Psychological injuries: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression

If you were personally affected by a terrorist action involving IEDs or EFPs, you need to act fast. There are strict deadlines for filing negligence claims, so the sooner you take action, the more likely you are to get compensated for your loss or injuries.
