Your Partner in Defense Base Act Claims & Recovery
Injured government contractors often face a grueling uphill battle. While you focused on supporting operations overseas, the transition to recovery back home should be seamless. Unfortunately, navigating the Defense Base Act (DBA) legal landscape is rarely simple. Our dedicated team stands ready to bridge that gap, ensuring you receive every dollar of compensation you deserve.
Why the Defense Base Act Matters to You
The Defense Base Act provides critical workers’ compensation protection to civilian contractors working outside the United States. Whether you served as a linguist, security specialist, or logistics coordinator, this federal law covers your injuries.
However, insurance companies often prioritize their profits over your health. We intervene immediately to stop the “delay and deny” tactics. By choosing an experienced partner, you gain an advocate who understands the specific nuances of Department of Labor (DOL) filings and Longshore Act extensions.
How We Build a Winning DBA Claim
We take an active, aggressive approach to your case. Instead of waiting for the insurance carrier to act, we drive the process forward through these essential steps:
Comprehensive Evidence Gathering: We compile medical records, deployment contracts, and witness statements to establish an airtight case.
Expert Medical Coordination: Our team helps you find doctors who understand the complexities of overseas injuries, from orthopedic trauma to PTSD.
Strategic Negotiation: We calculate the true lifetime value of your claim, including future medical costs and lost wages, before entering settlement talks.
Litigation Readiness: If the insurance company refuses a fair payout, we represent you vigorously before an Administrative Law Judge.

Overcoming the Challenges of Overseas Claims
Filing a claim is just the beginning. You may encounter missing personnel files, complex wage calculations (AWW), or disputes regarding the location of your injury. Consequently, many contractors miss out on benefits due to simple administrative errors. We eliminate this risk by managing all communications with the Department of Labor on your behalf. We handle the paperwork so you can focus entirely on your physical and emotional recovery.
