The hidden world of civilian contractor injuries
The Los Angeles Times and ProPublica spent more than 18 months examining the hidden world of civilian contractor injuries. Reporters and photographers tracked down and interviewed more than 200 contractors, family members, government, military and corporate officials. The Times also reviewed more than 10,000 pages of court documents, previously undisclosed government reports and internal corporate communications.
To perform the analysis, the Times and ProPublica used a database of approximately 31,000 claims filed by contractors injured or killed in Iraq or Afghanistan extracted from a larger database maintained by the Labor Department known as the Longshore Case Management System.
