The Defense Base Act
If you are not familiar with personal injury legal proceedings, then you may not know about Defense Base Act claims. In 1941 workers’ compensation coverage under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act was extended to persons working on American military bases overseas.
A common question in regard to Defense Base Act claims is, “Who is covered?” If you are a United States civilian working under contract for the U.S. government in other countries and are injured on the job, then you very well may fall under the Defense Base Act. Common overseas roles at U.S. installations include construction workers and laborers, food service workers, surveillance and security personnel, logistic specialists, interpreters, and truck drivers and mechanics.
You may not qualify for Defense Base Act claims if you are an employee covered under the Federal Employee’s Compensation Act, an employee involved in domestic agriculture, service, or other employment secondary to the contract, or a captain or crew member of a vessel.
