Military service members who were exposed to an IED bomb during the course of their service may be eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit investigation.

Service members and veterans who were injured and survivors of those killed by an IED bomb while fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq may be eligible to participate in a lawsuit.

The Department of Defense learned that some of the EFPs and IEDs used in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were linked to Iranian suppliers. This means that Americans injured or killed because of an IED bomb and their surviving family members may be eligible to file IED lawsuits against banks that served as a sponsor of this terrorism or against Iran directly.

According to recent research, Iran supplied multiple different types of munitions in these wars, including IED bombs. IED refers to an improvised explosive device, using a detonating mechanism. These were frequently used in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as roadside bombs. They were connected with a large portion of deaths of U.S. service members.

Anyone who was killed in an incident likely left behind family members whose lives were forever changed by that IED bomb. It can be troubling for those surviving family members to learn that funds linked to Iran enabled terrorists to build or deploy that bomb.

While no action will take back what has already happened, deciding to move forward with a legal case may be the only way for loved ones to put this chapter behind them.

Military service members who paid the ultimate price due to an IED bomb may have surviving family members who are eligible to participate in a lawsuit. According to research gathered after the Afghanistan war, between 2001 and the present, two out of every three deaths were caused by IEDs.

In 2006, the British newspaper The Telegraph shared that the EFPs and IEDs used in Iraq were made in large quantities inside factories within Iran. Iranian sanctions were enacted by the U.S. Congress with the goal of preventing that country from participating in any terrorist acts or state-sponsored terrorism.

People inside Iran were able to find banks that were willing to get around these sanctions in exchange for large profits. Laws in the United States allow victims of terrorist bombings or those who had a loved one killed by an IED bomb to file legal suit against conspirators who assisted in making these terrorist attacks happen.

Legal recourse may be available to those surviving family members. Unfortunately, far too many people across the United States lost their loved ones during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars due to the detonation of an IED bomb.

If you have survived an IED bomb attack and have significant injuries as a result, you should consider participating in a class action investigation to recover compensation. The medical bills and repercussions of such an incident will often last many years into your future. Consulting with a lawyer can help to clarify legal rights and next steps.

If you or a loved one was injured or killed by an IED or EFP while fighting in the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, legal recourse is available. Get help now by filling out the form on this page for a FREE case evaluation.
